Empowermind Academy
A pause to reconnect and realign
A retreat at Empowermind Academy is framed as a deliberate pause: time for women to step back from daily demands and reconnect through yoga, sound healing, conscious practices and ceremony. The setting is described as a nature-surrounded sanctuary outside Ubud, with a pool, spa, sauna and yoga studio among the facilities. The academy’s approach emphasizes compassion, inner reflection and a supportive sense of sisterhood, rather than a single named spiritual tradition. It may suit travelers drawn to personal-growth retreats that combine embodied practice with time in nature. Dietary options include vegan, vegetarian, Ayurvedic, organic, gluten-free, dairy-free and nut-free choices, though it is sensible to confirm which are offered for your dates. Bali’s warm, tropical climate makes light clothing useful, with rain protection especially welcome in wetter months. Retreat schedules and accommodation arrangements can vary, so check the details before booking.

Setting
Outside Ubud, the retreat venue is described as a peaceful sanctuary surrounded by lush jungle and nature. The atmosphere is oriented toward slowing down, reflection and community, with a pool, spa, sauna and yoga studio on site.
The practice
Yoga is the named physical practice, alongside sound healing, ceremonies and other conscious practices. For newcomers, this points to a retreat experience that may combine movement with listening, reflection and group connection. No particular yoga style or meditation lineage is identified, so ask the academy what sessions involve and whether beginners need to prepare.
A typical day
Daily rhythm varies by retreat, so confirm the schedule before booking. Yoga, sound healing and conscious practices are part of the academy’s approach, but session times, meals and free periods are not fixed here. The venue’s pool, spa and surrounding nature provide options for quieter time between programmed activities.
Accommodation
Rooms with air conditioning are listed, but the lodging style and room arrangements are not described. Confirm accommodation details with the academy before reserving.
What to bring
Pack comfortable clothes for yoga and light, breathable layers for Bali’s warm average temperatures. January, May and October are wetter months, so bring a light rain layer; a reusable water bottle may also be useful.
How to get there
Venue directions point to Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) in Denpasar, then a taxi or ride-hailing service such as Grab for the drive toward Ubud, usually about 1.5 to 2 hours depending on traffic. Detailed arrival instructions are shared after booking.
Nearest airport: Kalimarau Airport (BEJ) (63 km)
Kalimarau Airport (BEJ), near Tanjung Redeb on Borneo, is named as approximately 63 km from the center, but this conflicts with the retreat’s Bali address. The venue directions instead point to Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) and a 1.5 to 2-hour taxi or ride-hailing journey toward Ubud; confirm the correct arrival airport with the academy.
Nearest city: Tanjung Redeb - Borneo Island
The retreat is paid, but rates and inclusions are not stated. Ask the academy for current prices and what is covered.
