Sacred Elements: Ritual, Renewal & Reverence
Secure Your Place19th – 25th February 2026
A transformative retreat in the heart of Bali, guided by elemental wisdom and ceremony.
Inside the Sacred Elements Journey:
What You’ll Experience
Over seven soul-deep days in the heart of Ubud, you’ll move through a ritual arc shaped by the six sacred elements—Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Ether, and Void.
Each day blends subtle energy practices, elemental rituals, and group fieldwork designed to support lasting transformation. You’ll be held in a carefully curated group, with space for one–one check-ins, peer connection, and immersive practices that restore clarity and inner alignment.
Balinese temple rituals, vibrational crystal layouts, and Field Dynamics’ signature tools converge to offer a grounded yet reverent path of reconnection – rooted in Bali’s living elemental intelligence.
Come as you are – whether seeker, healer, or simply soul-curious. Together, we create a sanctuary of coherence – where personal transformation becomes collective resonance, and each day becomes a portal into the extraordinary.

Why Bali?
Bali is more than a destination—it’s a living temple of wellbeing. Rooted in the Balinese principle of Tri Hita Karana—the harmony of self, nature, and the sacred—it offers a rare coherence where inner work is naturally amplified. This island doesn’t just support transformation, it accelerates it.
This retreat draws from the profound Balinese belief in harmony between the visible and invisible worlds. According to their cosmology, each person is accompanied by the Catur Sanak – the Four Metaphysical Siblings – embodying the elemental forces of Wind, Fire, Water, and Earth, who serve as lifelong guides and guardians.
Far beyond symbolism, this elemental connection is a living reality. We honour these sacred traditions with deep respect, gently integrating them into a contemporary journey of healing, insight, and renewed connection.
Welcome to The Ark — Your Sanctuary of Serenity & Sacred Renewal
Nestled in the lush highlands of Penestanan, The Ark is a private eight-bedroom sanctuary overlooking tranquil rice paddies. Just minutes from central Ubud, this iconic venue blends open-air living with refined comfort—offering spaciousness, serenity, and elemental beauty.
Each room has a theme, inspired by a specific crystal (could this retreat be more aligned with a venue!) to support deep rest and recalibration. Thoughtfully appointed ensuite bathrooms and tranquil views – some with soaking tubs or garden courtyards – create a treehouse-like retreat experience.
Enjoy on-site amenities including the secluded jungle-view pool, sauna, firepit, and an expansive shala designed for group practice. The Ark’s culinary team prepares vibrant plant-based meals sourced from local Balinese farmers and artisans. Whether journaling with herbal tea, greeting the day in the open-air shala, or soaking in a flower bath beneath the stars, The Ark offers space for stillness, harmony, and sacred renewal.
The Elemental Map of Transformation: Six Sacred Forces for Inner Change
Long before modern science, there was the wisdom of the elements.
Sacred Elements is a retreat that returns to this universal language. Each day we explore our inner world through the language of the elements as an archetypal gateway: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Ether, and Void – these six primal forces are the original languages of transformation.
Across cultures and centuries, from Taoist inner alchemy to Vedic cosmology to Western esotericism, elemental understanding has always been a map of how energy moves – within nature, the cosmos, and the human being.
This map outlines the six sacred forces guiding your inner transformation on the retreat — integrating body, mind, and spirit:
This is elemental work at its essence – awakening these forces as living intelligence within you. This is how transformation has always worked. Now it’s your turn.
Our approach blends years of subtle energy training with the timeless power of presence. Through guided sessions, elemental rituals, and space for rest and reflection, you’ll experience what it means to truly align – physically, emotionally, energetically.
What’s offered here doesn’t stay in Bali – it travels home with you, as a lasting shift in how you feel, relate, and move through the world.

Why This Retreat is Different
“We created Sacred Elements to offer the kind of retreat we ourselves longed for—where reconnection is sacred, and renewal is real.”
Bali has been a profound teacher for us. After years immersed in its rhythms, rituals, and raw beauty, we carry a deep reverence for this land. Our shared journey – rooted in deep inner work and decades of combined practice – has revealed what’s truly needed for lasting transformation: a space that is both deeply safe and expansively alive.
This is not just a retreat. It’s a return to what’s essential.
The Core Practices
Throughout the retreat, we come together in a sacred container – held with energetic precision and care. Each day includes restorative YinRising meditations, guided group energy healing sessions, and intentional crystal layouts designed to open, balance, and align your system with the deeper intelligence of the field.
YinRising Morning Sessions
Each day begins in stillness, but not in silence. YinRising is our initiating practice – held during the morning to attune you to the layers of body, mind, and spirit through slow movement, breath, and presence. Rooted in the yin principle of receptivity and non-doing, the practice isn’t about stretching or poses – it’s a recentering of self. Each session is uniquely attuned to the elements and to the rhythms and sounds of the natural environment. YinRising prepares your system for the day with subtle alignment, nervous system calm, and clarity of presence. An ideal way to tune in and start the day.
Elemental Crystal Rites
Throughout the retreat, we engage in immersive Elemental Crystal Rites – transformational energetic experiences that invite the intelligence of the crystal world into embodied form. Crystals are not merely beautiful, their internal lattice structures encode frequencies that interface with the subtle body, acting as both conduits and mirrors.
In these rites, we work with specific stones whose elemental correspondences open portals of healing, resonance, and realignment. Each rite marks a ceremonial threshold – an invitation into a new layer of your being. These sessions are key passages in the curated elemental arc of the retreat, supporting deep pattern release and moments of profound stillness.
Group Space Holding & Energy Circles
These circles offer a direct way to receive the benefits of group field healing. The collective becomes an active healing field where each individual is deeply seen, held, and supported. Some participants may speak, share, or release; others may remain in silence. All are met with reverent presence, open-hearted reflection, and deep listening.
These sessions bookend the retreat – one near the beginning, the other toward the close – marking thresholds of initiation and integration. Within these sacred containers, true transformation unfolds.
Field Gateway: One-One Energy Session
Each guest receives a personal one–one session; an energetic attunement and cleansing in the spirit of a modern limpia. This private space offers an opportunity to clarify your core intention, gently surface misalignments, and receive intuitive reflections tailored to your unique path.
You’ll also receive your Field Kit: a curated crystal healing set attuned to the Sacred Elements journey. This session serves as your initiation into the retreat – supporting insight, alignment, and subtle activation for the days ahead.
Sacred Water Ritual at Pura Mengening
A Purification Ceremony
Tucked deep in the jungle, Mengening Temple is one of Bali’s most sacred sites—peaceful and powerfully aligned with the element of Water. Here, we’ll be guided through the traditional purification ritual of Melukat, beneath a series of sacred fountains, each offering a chance to release stagnant energy.
This ceremony clears the energetic residue of daily life, restoring inner stillness and emotional flow. A blessing for the journey ahead, it invites a deep sense of renewal—body, heart, and spirit.
Sacred Fire & Cacao Ceremony
An Evening of Heart Opening & Ritual Release
We will gather in circle to share locally grown ceremonial cacao, gently opening the heart and attuning to the group field. With softened edges and awakened intention, we step into a sacred fire ceremony guided by a Balinese priest.
Known locally as a form of Agni Hotra, this ancestral fire ritual purifies, aligns, and amplifies intention. As flames rise, so do prayers—carried on the smoke, releasing what is complete and inviting what is ready to emerge. This is a powerful communal moment to honour your path, clarify purpose, and root yourself in the deeper current of the retreat.
Sound Healing at Pyramids of Chi
A Journey of Sacred Geometry & Vibration
Step inside the majestic pyramids for a unique elemental sound expereince where architecture and ancient frequency work converge. In this optional experience at Pyramids of Chi, you’ll lie back and journey through sound with gongs, didgeridoo, and harmonic overtones—designed to entrain the nervous system and expand consciousness.
This is sound healing held within sacred geometry and with high intention.
Kecak Fire & Trance Dance
Night of Embodied Myth & Ancestral Power
Together we will witness the Kecak Fire Dance, an iconic Balinese ritual where over a hundred men chant in rhythmic unison, creatinga sonic field that pulses through the body and stirs the soul. This immersive performance retells sacred myths—not as stories, but as living energies.
The evening deepens with the Sanghyang Jaran, or horse trance dance, where spirit channels through the dancer guided by ancient invocation. These are not staged performances but ritual acts of protection and purification. To witness this is to be drawn into the ceremonial heart of Bali, where trance and ancestral devotion are one.
