Rising Lotus

A 6-night retreat into tending, connection and transformation at Mount Batukaru , Bali

There's something the lotus knows that we often forget - that the mud is not the obstacle. It's where the growing happens. The rising comes after the tending.

We live in a world that celebrates the bloom. The arrival, the transformation, the moment everything clicks into place. But very little is said about what comes before that - the sitting with what is hard, the slow and unglamorous work of becoming, the quiet tending of something that isn't ready to open yet.

This retreat is an invitation to honour that part of the journey. To slow down, to turn inward, and to trust that what is growing in you - even now, even in the murk - is exactly what it needs to be.

This is the wisdom we come to meet together at the sacred Mount Batukaru in Mama Bali, where the air is cool and thick with the scent of coffee blossoms and jungle rain, where the land itself has been tended for generations by hands that understood devotion as a daily act, sacred and whole.

Rising Lotus is an invitation to remember that transformation is not a single moment of arrival — it is a practice of returning, again and again, to what is alive in you. Of learning to tend to what is there, with love and patience. And to rise from the mud into your radiance.

Over six nights, we will move through the three great teachings of the lotus:

1. how to grow through what we cannot see
2. how to tend the conditions that allow us to flourish
3. how to be held by transformation even when the blooming is not yet visible.

We will work with two Mahavidya Goddess archetypes - Goddess Kali and Goddess Kamala / Lakshmi who are wisdom goddesses that teaches us how to embrace both the darkness and the light.

Together we will breathe, move, sit in stillness, and open to the subtle intelligence already present in your body and your life. Through Himalayan Kriya Yoga, Meditation, Lotus Tea Ceremonies, Lotus Scents and Oils, Ritual, Nature Immersions and the profound spaciousness of the Balinese landscape, you will be gently met - exactly where you are - and invited to rise and blossom in your own timing.

GROW

Learning to root into the dark, to trust the unseen process of becoming.

Three Teachings of the Lotus
