Bali opens the journey in Ubud—dense jungle, river rapids, and sacred stone carvings hidden along the Ayung River gorge. It is real exertion and real presence: no room to be anywhere but exactly here.
Then the water takes over.
From Bali’s reefs to the car-free quiet of Gili Air, the retreat moves toward a different kind of stillness. A floating meditation lets the sea do what the mind cannot do alone: hold you completely, with nothing to swim toward and nothing to prove.
Off Gili Meno, forty-eight life-size statues rest on the seabed—silent, submerged, and strangely moving. Diving among them is a different kind of clarity altogether.
The journey closes in Lombok, where jungle, open shoreline, fire, and reflection bring the Expedition home.
You arrive alive from the jungle.
You leave having come up for air.
THE FOUR PILLARS
01 — RITUAL
Reconnect with something deeper than routine.
Begin and end each day with movement, breath, and intention.
Through Surya Yog, meditation, reflection, and time in nature, the ritual is simple:
Return to yourself.
02 — WILDERNESS
Move through Bali’s jungle, rivers, reefs, islands, and Lombok’s raw natural landscape.
Rafting through the Ayung River gorge.
Diving beneath the sea.
Travelling by boat between islands.
Walking into places where the world feels bigger than your thoughts.
03 — STILLNESS
The mind does not always know how to stop.
Water does.
Gili Air is car-free, slow, and quiet by design. Through floating meditation, sound healing, silent moments by the shore, and unhurried island time, stillness arrives naturally.
04 — FIRE
When the sun goes down, the circle begins.
Bonfires, music, stories, laughter, and connection.
On New Year’s Eve, gather on open sand beneath the stars—not to perform, pitch, or prove anything.
Just to be present.

Monday, 28 December 2026
Arrive in Ubud.
Check in, settle in, and meet the ANMUTE team.
Share a quiet Satvik dinner, unhurried, with jungle sounds close by.
Later, gather around the fire.
Live music.
A warm welcome.
The Expedition begins.
DAY 02 — RIVER & GROUND
Tuesday, 29 December 2026
Begin with Surya Yog, meditation, and light yoga.
Then enter the Ayung River.
Experience a 14 km rafting journey through jungle gorge, rapids, and old stone carvings along the cliff walls.

Close the first full day around a low, reflective bonfire.
DAY 03 — DESCEND & CROSS
Wednesday, 30 December 2026
Begin with Surya Yog, meditation, and light yoga.
Leave Ubud’s jungle behind and transfer toward the coast.
Then descend into Bali’s reefs for a scuba-diving experience.
Underwater, there is only breath, movement, and presence.
Later, take a boat onward to Gili Air.
The pace changes again.
Car-free.
Open water.
Unhurried by design.
Close the evening with sound healing and a fire circle beneath the open sky.
DAY 04 — SEA & CELEBRATION
Thursday, 31 December 2026
Begin with Surya Yog, meditation, and light yoga.
Then move into the sea for floating meditation.
Lie still on open water.
Let the sea hold your full weight.
Nothing to do but feel the sound of it move around you.
Later, take a short boat ride to Gili Meno for the Underwater Statues Dive—forty-eight life-size sculptures resting on the seabed, creating a strange and quiet stillness found only underwater.
Return for a fresh local lunch and free time on Gili Air.
Beach.
Hammock.
Silence.
As night arrives, gather on the sand.
Bonfire.
Live music.
Stars overhead.
Welcome the new year with presence.
DAY 05 — LOMBOK: EXPLORE & RESET
Friday, 1 January 2027
Begin the new year slowly.
Travel by boat from Gili Air to Lombok, moving from island quiet into a wilder natural landscape.
Experience a guided waterfall or nature-trail journey through jungle and open terrain.
Move your body.
Breathe deeper.
Let the landscape do the work.
Share a fresh local lunch.
The afternoon is for beachside reflection and free time—swim, rest, journal, or simply do nothing.
As the sun sets, gather for the final fire circle.
Music.
Stories.
Connection.
One last night beneath the open sky.
DAY 06 — RELEASE & RETURN
Saturday, 2 January 2027
Begin with your final morning of Surya Yog, meditation, and light yoga.
Take time for a final reflection.
Then gather for the closing circle.
