Lodge In The Woods
Private practice, forest-side living
A private meditation session with Swami Nardanand, known to participants as Guruji, is the centerpiece of a stay at this forest lodge in Bali. The retreat brings together Shaktipat meditation, a setting among the trees, and the chance to sit quietly near the lodge’s white horses. Meals feature fresh produce from the lodge’s own farm, adding a grounded, home-grown note to an otherwise distinctly luxurious stay. The experience is intimate in scale, with personal guidance from a teacher described as a Siddha Master and Divine Healer. It may appeal to travelers who want a focused spiritual retreat with comfortable surroundings rather than a large group program. Retreat dates, session details, and the fee are worth confirming with the host before booking.
