. . .a journey of nature, spirit and sacred connection
Nadi Gathering, Bali
24th – 30th October 2025
The Winner of our raffle is Mark Thomas - congratulations!
Nadi Gatherings are journeys of harmonisation with nature and the ancient energies of sacred lands. These are authentic, heart-led experiences – lovingly curated through deep personal connection and long-standing relationships with local communities. We are not tourists. We are conscious travellers -coming to both give and receive. In listening with open hearts, the hope is that we can bring the wisdom back to our own lives and lands.
This October, we gather in Bali.
Bali is a living temple—its forests, waters, and villages alive with devotion and ancestral wisdom. In this sacred setting, we come together for a week-long immersion into spiritual practice, cultural exchange and elemental healing. We go to listen to the wisdom of the local people, to learn from their sacred ceremonies and to walk with the rhythms of the land. We go with reciprocity in our hearts in conscious exchange.
In Bali, spiritual life is deeply woven into everyday traditions, with Balinese Hinduism being the dominant religion. Key spiritual figures include Balians, Balinese healers who offer spiritual guidance and are intrinsic to local life and Balinese priests, known as pemangku who hold ceremonies and rituals. The island’s spiritual landscape is rich with temples, sacred sites, and rituals that reflect the community’s strong connection to nature and to the divine.
As always Kundalini Yoga is our key practice and helps to support self activation and to open our hearts and minds to the people and the space. We practice every morning and also weave in breathwork, sound and gong, movement and rebirthing.

accomodation
rooms
Desa Seni provides unique and private accommodations in antique wooden homes imported from various islands in Indonesia. Each house has its own fascinating history and has been fully restored and modernized, offering all the comforts of home. Living at Desa Seni means being surrounded by nature, original artifacts, and antiques that showcase the rich culture and heritage of Indonesia.
location
We will be based at Desa Seni eco lodge, located in the higher central heartland of Bali in Baturiti. The lodge is deeply immersed in nature, off the beaten track and near a traditional village in Kabupaten Tabanan. We will have opportunities to meet, exchange and learn from the local people. There will be several trips to other parts of Bali including the black sands beaches.
food
Willy Kobylt, the Chef of the restaurant, Seasons, is all about stimulating the senses and surprising with unconventional and creative dishes made from fresh, organic ingredients. Desa Sensi kitchen team sources 80% of their produce from their own farms.
We believe in supporting local suppliers who share our values of organic, sustainable, and fresh products. By buying local, we not only support local families but also build communities.
