This retreat is a sacred invitation to release what no longer serves you — old patterns, emotional pain, outdated identities — and come full circle into your true self. Rooted in the potent energy of the jungle, Emerging Light guides you through a transformational process using the wisdom, healing waters and sacred land of Bali, as catalysts for purification and rebirth.
What if you could move through life with unshakable focus, no longer easily thrown off course, because you’re standing firmly in your authentic power?
This way of living is not just possible — it’s closer and easier than you believe. It begins the moment you realign with your true self, raise your frequency, and embody the love that already lives within you.
Emerging Light is a retreat rooted in the potent frequencies of bali as a living temple. here, the lush jungle, holy temple springs and waterfalls become the healing balm for your soul. on the sacred island and one of the world’s most potent spiritual epicenteres, water is not merely water—it is tirta, the holy lifeblood of the earth, flowing from mountain springs blessed by the gods.
In these waters, centuries of prayer still echo, carrying the power to wash away what burdens the heart and to awaken the quiet light within. To enter the natural pools and spirngs is to be received by the island herself, to be held in a ritual older than memory. With each gentle pour over the crown, the past loosens its grip; with each ripple, the spirit is renewed. You emerge not only cleansed, but reborn—woven once more into the pure, unending current of life.
you are lovingly invited to feel, to move energy through you, and to uncover the emotions you’ve been carrying in silence. Through purifying rituals, yoga, meditation, and a supportive circle of humans, you are summoned to travel inward while being held by the outer magic of ubud. you are offered refuge, a safe and sacred space, where you can release what no longer serves and transmute old, heavy emotions into higher vibrations of clarity, joy, and freedom.
You will be heard. You will be seen. You will be validated.
the potential to rise into your authentic, powerful, aligned self — the version of you that moves through life awake, present, and magnetic is lying dormant awaiting to be called upon.
This is your time, Your rebirth begins here.

Peaceful, Less Crowded Atmosphere
February is outside Bali’s peak tourist season, which means quieter temples, serene rice fields, and a more intimate connection with the island’s spiritual energy. You’ll enjoy Ubud without the usual hustle and bustle
Nature at Its Most Lush
Rain breathes life into Bali’s landscapes. The rice terraces turn an impossibly vibrant green, the jungle hums with energy, and waterfalls are at their most powerful. Everywhere you look, nature feels abundant, fresh, and alive.
Warm Tropical Showers
Many people hear “rainy season” and picture endless downpours—but in ubud, February’s rain is part of the magic. Rain here rarely means all-day storms. Most days bring short, refreshing showers—often in the late afternoon or evening—leaving the mornings and much of the day beautifully clear. These gentle rains cool the air and make the warm tropical climate even more pleasant..
Perfect for Reflection and Renewal
The rhythm of sun and rain creates a naturally slower pace, inviting you to turn inward, reflect, and deepen your retreat experience. There’s something deeply grounding about listening to the sound of rain while practicing yoga or meditating.
Lower Travel Costs
Flights and accommodation are often more affordable in February—meaning you can enjoy the same magic of Bali at a better value.

Journey on Retreat with Alexia Berta
Bali is a place where ritual, ceremony, and communion with the divine are not occasional events—they are the very fabric of everyday life. The scent of incense drifts through the air each morning as offerings are laid with intention and the rhythm of prayer hums beneath the bustle of the markets.
in ubud, the spiritual is not separate from the mundane—it is woven into it. This seamless interweaving awakens something in us, something ancient. It stirs a remembrance of our own connection to the sacred, reminding us that life itself can be a living ritual, that every gesture and breath can be an offering.
When you immerse yourself in this way of being, it’s not just about witnessing a culture—it’s about feeling a deep soul-level resonance that says: I remember. I belong. I, too, am part of the great ceremony of life.
To join a retreat with Alexia Berta in Bali is to step into a sacred unfolding—a journey curated from decades of immersion in Asia, where she once lived, and from her many personal pilgrimages to the beating heart of Ubud. Alexia does not take you to places she has only read about—she takes you to places she has lived, breathed, and fallen in love with. Each destination is one she has spent significant time in, where the paths are familiar beneath her feet and the faces are warm with recognition. Over the years, she has formed bonds with the land, people, and it’s spirit, opening a doorway for you into the true heart of each place.
Each path walked, temple entered, and ritual experienced has been personally witnessed by Alexia, ensuring that every moment of the retreat is infused with authenticity, intention, and spiritual potency. The spaces she chooses are not selected merely for their beauty, but for their ability to awaken the soul, expand consciousness, and deepen your presence. When you journey with Alexia, you are not simply a visitor—you are welcomed as part of a living story, one that invites you to connect deeply, transform gently, and return home to yourself.
Alexia is a guardian of sacred space, a vessel through which the unseen currents of life flow with clarity and grace. As an intuitive shamanic Reiki healer, a seasoned yoga teacher, and a devoted student of ley lines and Hindu cosmology, she navigates the subtle realms with wisdom, fearlessness, and compassion. Her guidance allows participants to feel fully supported, seen, and held, while opening them to experiences that transform on both inner and outer planes.
Born a third culture child and living as a citizen of the world, Alexia possesses a rare and luminous capacity to connect with all hearts. Whether sharing rituals, meals, or quiet moments beneath Bali’s starlit sky, she cultivates a sense of belonging, ease, and alignment. Her deep knowledge of local traditions, spiritual practices, and ancestral wisdom ensures that every retreat resonates with authenticity, safety, and a deep felt sacred invitation.
Ritual is the heartbeat of transformation, carried in the subtle currents of intention and the quiet poetry of detail. At the center of Alexia’s retreats lies a deep reverence for the land, its traditions, and the wisdom it holds. Each experience is curated with devotion and respect, walking gently upon the earth and honoring the spirit of place. Through offerings that nourish the body, awaken the spirit, and stir the soul, every retreat becomes a living tapestry of reflection, connection, and inner alchemy. Here, the ordinary dissolves into the extraordinary, and each step, gesture, and moment becomes part of a sacred conversation between self, community, and the world around us.
“I want to share the Ubud i love with you. I have cried there, I have danced there, I have communed with the wild beauty of its nature, and I have healed there. bali has held me in my most vulnerable moments and celebrated me in my most radiant ones. Now, I want to show you that magic — so you too can feel its embrace, its wisdom, and its power to transform.”

Everything was done with a lot of love and care, something that was evident throughout the trip. Alexia’s lived experience, research, and genuine love for the region allowed us to feel more like locals than tourists. She made it easy to connect on a deeper level, both spiritually and culturally .

This retreat was more than just a journey it was a deeply healing and empowering experience, one I will always remember. The space created felt sacred, safe, and truly magical. From the temples to the wisdom shared, the yoga and the rituals, every detail supported a profound return to self. I left feeling stronger, clearer, and more deeply connected not only to myself, but also to the beautiful souls I shared this path with. Thank you for holding such a powerful container for transformation. I am deeply grateful.

AIRPORT
Please book your flight to arrive at Denpasar international airport on saturday the 14th of february by noon. our retreat will begin on the evening of the 14th so please ensure you book flights arriving latest by noon in bali.
our friendly english speaking driver will meet you there. holding a sign with your name on it, if there are other retreat participants arriving within the hour of your flight landing, you will have a short wait at the airport for them. there are many coffee shops and places to eat and the airport is very pleasant to spend a little time waiting at. the drive to ubud itself can take anywhere between 1 and 2 hours depending on traffic situation.
we provide airport pick up but for drop off you will need to make your own arrangements as many will be staying onwards after the retreat ends.
our retreat ends on saturday the 21st of february, after breakfast and you may opt to depart then for your international flight.
This retreat is not a package holiday.
It is a sacred, shared journey where every participant contributes to the energetic container we hold together. If you are not willing to engage fully in the spiritual practices, then this is not the right space for you at this time.
Our purpose is transformation — and true transformation often asks us to face discomfort, explore our shadows, and move beyond what feels familiar. Stepping out of your comfort zone is an essential part of the process.
You will be called to try things you may never have experienced before, and to cultivate discipline bringing your intention forward in the circle space, holding peace and balance for all. You will be called to dance with your inner critic — and learn to hear your deeper truth.
Every practice we share is designed to open your heart, deepen your spiritual connection, and invite profound shifts. If you are not ready to embrace that journey, this retreat may not be for you.
a note on the accomodation: Barefoot luxury is a style of accommodation that blends high-end comfort with a relaxed, nature-connected atmosphere. It means:
Natural beauty over opulence — Think lush gardens, ocean or rice field views, and open-air spaces rather than marble lobbies.
High quality, low formality — Excellent service, fresh linens, and thoughtful design, but without rigid dress codes or over-the-top extravagance.
Connection to place — Local materials, cultural touches, and an emphasis on sustainability.
Ease and freedom — You can walk barefoot on polished wood floors, sandy paths, or grassy lawns without feeling out of place.
In other words, it’s luxury that invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and feel at home in nature — without sacrificing comfort.
