ROOTING & RISING
December 10–20, 2026 · Dwa Chandra, Bali
Ten nights on ancient sacred land in a private luxurious sanctuary, 10 minutes east of Ubud, with a small group of extraordinary humans like you.
Experience epic adventure, deep connection, sacred Balinese rituals, and a collective reset as we close out 2026 and create what comes next in 2027.
We're gathering a small group of extraordinary humans like you at Dwa Chandra, our retreat center and broader campus in the Balinese jungle. You'll be joining people you'll return to, build with, and stay connected with long after you fly home.
This is not your typical villa rental - we own this property and the entire campus around it. As a participant of this gathering, you'll not only experience the fully staffed, chef-prepared food, unique premium luxury hospitality and accommodations of Dwa Chandra, you'll ALSO have behind-the-scenes access to our broader campus, history and shenanigans, local tours, and awesome local friends.
Come and stay with us.

WHAT WE'RE DOING
Spending time together. Deepening connections. Going on adventures. Eating amazing food. Meeting awesome neighbors. Swimming, hiking, and seeing monkeys. Sitting in the hot seat during a mastermind. Challenging each other to dream bigger.
The schedule is loose on purpose: we plan it with you on the welcome calls, and leave room for spontaneous group decisions once we're there.
Already planned
- ❖The welcome feast, December 10
- ❖Melukat water blessing at the platform over the sacred river, from our village priest. Many visitors, even skeptics, have spoken about how profoundly it impacted them.
- ❖River gorge walk with Ibu Putu to 9th-century carvings very few people have ever seen
- ❖Waterfall hike and swim - Bali has dozens of stunning waterfalls, and we know the best ones
- ❖A day at The View on Ceningan Island
Daily schedule
- ❖One adventure off campus - temples, waterfalls, volcanoes, the island
- ❖One session on business and connection - masterminds, hot seats, planning 2027
- ❖Free time - pools, massages, the river gorge, a nap
- ❖Breakfast every day, and group lunches or dinners a few times a week
THE WIDER CAMPUS
Beyond Dwa Chandra is the broader Kelebutan Campus, 26 collected properties, envisioned as "The Esalen of Bali". Because this is our space, we will have special access to ALL of it during our stay. We will show you around the campus, you'll get to hear about the often ridiculous history, and explore areas that most visitors haven't yet seen.

THE VIEW
Our hilltop day club on nearby Ceningan Island
Across a short boat ride is Ceningan, a tiny Balinese island that takes about 30 minutes to cross by scooter. On its hilltop is The View, our newly remodeled and shaded day club, with an infinity pool and the only view of the entire island of Bali - from the statue at Uluwatu to the mountain top of Mt. Agung. Hang out all day in the pool and lounge, then watch the sun set while enjoying the amazing food and drink menu created by a mix of local Balinese generations of cooks combined with Michelin star chefs. During the day you can also watch seaweed harvesting, get a massage, go snorkeling, and swim with manta rays in the mornings.
How we'll do it
A group day trip, all of us. One day during the week: boat over, pool all day, sunset dinner, boat back. Your all-day passes are included.
Stay after, December 21–22. Two extra nights on the coast. Swim with reef mantas up to four meters across at Manta Bay, Nusa Penida. We can get a group rate on a villa buyout so we all stay together.
Or both. Food, drinks, overnight stays, massages and island tours are individual costs - and generally cheap.
EVEN MORE ADVENTURES
Bali offers many extraordinary adventures - and we can tell you from experience that you will be talking about them for years afterward. We pick these together.

$ = under $10 per person · $$ = $10–50 · $$$ = $50–150 · $$$$ = over $150
VITALITY
Massages on location
- ❖Two are included, from the same high quality masseuses we use ourselves.
- ❖Additional massages run about $22/hr. Why not get one every day?
- ❖There are also many spas around Ubud, 10 minutes away, if you want unique services like those little fish tanks that eat your feet skin.
BIH Executive Full-Body Health Check · $1,000–1,400
At Bali International Hospital. HIGHLY recommended - it already saved someone's life. A comparable set of tests in the United States would cost tens of thousands of dollars.
- ❖Full-body MRI, blood tests, dental checkup, breathing tests, eye exams, doctor consultation, cardio testing, extensive blood panels, radiology, hearing tests, 50+ laboratory tests, and TONS more. See the full list →
- ❖It takes about 4 hours, and a meal is included.
- ❖Transportation can be arranged for you.
- ❖Staff is very friendly, professional, and courteous - way better than most US hospitals.
ROOMS & PRICE
"This is like $15,000 right?" you must be saying. Nope. $1,500 + your room.

Room prices are per room for all 10 nights; if you share a room, split the price between you however you like. Need help splitting a room? Let us know!
All our rooms are gorgeous, beautiful, and super comfortable; they come with full daily turnover service, flowers, air purifiers, en suite bathrooms, private showers and tubs, and a few surprises you'll love. Seriously, stop and look at the rooms →

Space is limited: 9 private rooms, or up to 20 people when rooms are shared. Interested in a specific room? Let a host know ASAP.
PRO TIP: If you run retreats or experiences like this yourself, you may be able to write off some or all of this trip as a business expense.
OTHER COSTS TO PLAN FOR
- ❖Flights, roughly $1,200 round trip from the West Coast. We have made this trip many times and can give you great advice, and our allied travel agent can plan your entire trip for a reasonable fee.
- ❖Lunches and dinners, $3–10 for most high quality food. It is possible to spend really high end prices if you want to.
- ❖Everything else, about $300–500 for meals, supplies, scooter rental, etc. across an average trip. It's Bali, so it's usually very cheap. If you like to shop, add in whatever your budget for that is.
- ❖Visa, $30. Hepatitis A and Typhoid shots strongly advised. Travel insurance highly recommended.
