So many of us pour ourselves into others, only to discover that in the process, we slip away from ourselves. We know how to care, to give, to hold—but forget what it feels like to be deeply at home in our own life. We miss the quiet beauty of what is already here. We long to love fully without losing ourselves in the tide of responsibility.

This retreat, led by Associate Professor Amy Finlay-Jones, is an invitation to return to both: to awaken to the life you are already living, and to rediscover the art of loving others in a way that also honours your own being. Over four days in Nyuh Kuning, you’ll be guided through evidence-based practices of compassion and mindful awareness, interwoven with cultural encounters that remind us that relationship is always both inward and outward—self and other, giving and receiving, rooted and flowing.

Nyuh Kuning, on the edge of Ubud, holds a rhythm of its own: traditional, unhurried, alive with daily offerings and community. Between rice fields and river, the village invites you to step into a slower pulse, where presence can be felt again. Here, relationship with self and others deepens naturally.
