These retreats give me a moment to take the layers off and to find my soul again.
To rediscover what makes me happy and face my fears—it’s SCARY, but it’s also so much FUN.

Where is Lombok?
Lombok Island is Bali's neighboring island on the east that is famous for its white-sand beaches, epic surf breaks, and stunning landscapes.
It has retained a more natural, uncrowded and undeveloped environment, which attract travelers who come for its relaxed pace and the opportunity to explore the island’s unspoiled natural environment. At the same time, you will enjoy the comfort of having supermarkets, restaurants and other valuable services close to you.

What's the flow of a day on retreat?
We will wake up early under the Indonesian sunshine on a search of waves.

The rest of the day will be filled with the most nourishing local flavors, relaxing workshops, movement classes, theoretical surf coaching sessions, epic sunsets, inspiring community and the highest island vibes.
