What a beautiful beautiful week this has been!! We’ve all had some kind of transformational experience.
Daily: Morning yoga with ethereal hand pan, drums, bowls, gongs, didg, etc. epic. Then breakfast with amazing “real” and beautiful people. Then, the adventure du jour and dinner together. Maybe a sound journey or yoga nidra in the evenings to slide you off to sleep. Epic epic epic week. So grateful!!
Sara is climbing Mt. Batur this morning. (She left at 2 am for the sunrise hike!)
She and a few new friends will do the life-altering 4-hr spa treatment later in Ubud.
Nicole and I are off to Uluwatu on the south coast. Not ready to leave here- but so grateful for this experience. A total (like, 100%) feeling of being held and cared for with kindness, I cannot explain it.
Bali 2026, anyone? :))

Uluwatu!
Nicole and I arrived at Puri Uluwatu Villas after about a 3-hour drive from Soulshine (including a stop at the market and pharmacy for Nicole's sinus infection she's had for several days) :( She's a trooper though! We helped each other on this trip - I used her lycine to battle a cold sore (my new favorite med!) and she used my dayquil for a cold or sinus infection. BTW, Nicole is the nicest, most relaxed, patient and kindest travel partner. 5 stars!
After getting here yesterday, both of us were having Soulshine withdrawals! (What? No over-the-top accommodating staff, nespresso machine, yoga studio, etc?. "Bali problems"). We checked in, headed straight for Suluban beach - the beach just down (down down) the forested hotel stairs - maybe 8-10 minutes walk. Walked through some karst cave/canyon to get to the beach... super cool site! Not too many people. And cliffside warungs perfectly situated for watching surfers and the sunset. B-e-a-utiful. We hung out at the beach and then the warung on a outcrop rock for cold Batang "raddler" beers (the perfect shandy) and spring rolls. Down at the beach again for an epic view of post-sunset colors until nearly dark when we headed back up the steps to the hotel (hearing monkeys and hoping we wouldn't have a run in!). We opted to wind down at 7:30 p.m. (vs. go out for dinner).
