As I Am Retreat Ubud
Meditation shaped by place and history
A former rice field, preserved trees, and buildings in Javanese Limasan style give As I Am Retreat Ubud a strong sense of place before a retreat even begins. The land was once owned by a local high priest, and its natural contours remain part of the grounds. Balinese Murdha ornaments add another layer of local character, while exposed red brick keeps the architecture earthy and restrained. Set in Ubud, the retreat brings meditation into a landscape shaped by both its history and its tropical surroundings. The center is a paid retreat venue, though the specific practice, schedule, and retreat format depend on the program you choose. It may appeal to travelers who value thoughtful architecture and a close connection to Balinese cultural context alongside time for meditation. Check the center’s website for current retreat dates and details before planning your stay.

The grounds are designed for reflection, but wake-up times, meditation sessions, meals, free periods, and evening practice depend on the specific program.
