Fasting & Meditation Retreat Bali
6-12th July 2026
Kathleen is co-hosting a seven-da Meditation & Fasting Retreat in Bali in 2026, in collaboration with Founder of Supernature nutrition Nikki Valentini.
Seven days in the mountains of Bali. Soft mornings. Warm air. Quiet evenings. Nothing to manage. Nowhere to be. This retreat is a rare invitation to step out of the noise of everyday life and into a space designed for deep rest, renewal, and reconnection. Held at Bumi Cinta, this week offers your body and nervous system the conditions they need to truly reset, gently, safely, and naturally.
Overview
This retreat offers a deeply supportive opportunity to slow down, take the load off the body, and allow your system to reset.
If your body has been asking you to pause, through fatigue, fog, overwhelm, or a sense of being overloaded, this retreat creates the conditions for things to settle. Through an individualised fasting process, meditation, breathwork, and plenty of rest, the body is supported to rebalance and restore its natural rhythm.
This is not about extreme fasting, discipline, or willpower. It is about listening carefully and responding with care.
The focus of this retreat is taking the strain off the system so it can recover and rejuvenate.
By gently reducing digestive effort and external stimulation in a supported way, the nervous system often has more space to regulate itself. Many people experience greater clarity, lightness, and a sense of reset, not because they have pushed, but because the body has finally had room to rest.
Fasting is always individualised and may include juices, broths, or light nourishment, depending on what your body needs. This retreat offers a deeper dive into fasting than our Revive Retreat, with more emphasis on reducing digestive load and supporting a full-system reset, always in a gentle and individualised way.

The Setting - Bumi Cinta - Bali
Bumi Cinta is a sanctuary held by jungle, water, and quiet. Nestled in the mountains of North Bali, the land itself invites slowing down.
Intentionally secluded and thoughtfully designed, the centre offers a rare sense of privacy and deep connection with nature. Accommodation is immersed in the jungle, with both shared and private room options available.

“The Bali retreat with Kathleen was life changing for me. It has given me a totally new perspective on how to live. I feel very much more at peace with myself. My days are flowing rather than timetabled and I am enjoying this so much. I loved getting to know all the lovely people in the group. Kathleen has an amazing depth of knowledge and I would love to learn more.” ~ Carol
