Join Antah Ocean on this one of a kind transformative journey through the unbeaten path of Bali. Bali is well known for its unique and spiritual atmosphere being an island of tens of thousands of temples and holy water. During this extraordinary journey you will not only get to know the extreme beauty of Bali but you will also rediscover and start loving yourself.
During this journey we will leave the busy towns and city centres behind and submerge ourselves in the luscious green countryside, filled with the Balinese people and their ever present offerings and rituals. Bali’s authenticity lies in its green and water rich rice terraces and its family temples decorated in yellow and white fabric that you will see in every compound (Balinese household). Seeing the women carrying offerings and fruit on their heads while smiling children are playing cheerfully and happily on the streets. Throughout there is the ever present scent of incense, tropical white flowers, frangipani, tuberose and rice.
On this remarkable expedition, you will have the chance to see some of the hidden treasures that Bali has to offer, including ancient temples where very few tourists have been allowed to venture. You will climb one of the Holy Mountains where you will say goodbye to the darkness and by sunrise, welcome back the light into your life.
THE POWER OF WATER
Water has an exceptional value in the life of the Balinese people. Our journey will revolve around water and its rituals. It will be our special guide. From the ‘ordinary’ water, which is necessary for life and which irrigates the rice terraces and provides income, to the Holy Water, recognized by the Balinese as the carrier of the power of God and a chalice filled with mysterious force. According to Balinese beliefs it is the Holy Water that cleanses spiritual impurities, fend off evil forces, and render the recipient protected to the attacks of negative influences. In Bali, holy water is not a symbol, or something abstract, it is an ‘ordinary’ container of an ‘extraordinary’ power, and, as such, is sacred and holy in itself. The water strengthens and purifies everything it touches.
Although there are many kinds and potencies of holy water, no matter whether its quantity is great or small, it is always seen as sacred and a powerful agent.
We will use Bali’s exceptional, mystical atmosphere and the Balinese sacred water to carry out our spiritual journey on this cleansing and transformational experience. Giving insight into ourselves in order to recover, appreciate and love ourselves. We will participate in water ceremonies at holy springs in the temples and under a little-known sacred waterfall.
THE JOURNEY
Imagine for a moment that with every real step you take in Bali, you are immersed deeper and deeper into a beautiful garden with a holy spring. This holy spring has a dual power, it not only washes away falsehood and therefore exposes the true you, but it is also the ‘source’, the beginning of your soul. In the holy spring you can see your true reflection, have a long look at it, and then use the purifying water to wash away these layers, which no longer serve you and are an unnecessary ballast. You can also immerse yourself deep into the spring, to see its beginning. And seeing the beginning of the spring is an equivalent of seeing the core of yourself. This multidimensional power of water has an extraordinary strength. On the one hand it washes, detaches and removes all the unnecessary aspects of you such as layers of limiting beliefs, illusory values and false identities. On the other, it fills you with courage, power and strength to continue the journey. And finally you are ready to dive deep into yourself, right to your core and there you can meet and experience the true, authentic and complete you.
Pure Love and Pure Light.
The main aim of this multilevel journey is to give you the opportunity to meet and experience, to feel and reclaim, to love and finally surface your true… authentic… self.
We are sure you will enjoy this amazing journey with us and accomplish all of the above in the true spirit of Antah Journeys. Throughout this experience you will be accompanied by healing sessions with Agnes and many of her original evening rituals.
ITINERARY
Tuesday 7th February 2017
The first day of our journey we will spend in the hotel to adjust to the new climate, time zone and surroundings, and also to relax a little bit. As with all Antaḥ Journeys, we wouldn’t be true to ourselves if our day has started and ended with only relaxing. Therefore, in the afternoon we will ‘jump into the deep waters’ as we start with the intensive healing work. We’ll finish our first day with a shamanic journey.
Wednesday 8th February 2017
Morning: At approximately 8-9am we will head off to the Tirta Empul Temple, one of the most famous temples in Bali, containing a Sacred Holy Spring. According to legend, God Indra created the spring to counteract the poisonous spring created by an evil demon. The Balinese believe the spring has magical cleansing powers and that’s why we start our trip in Bali at this sacred temple. (A full change of clothes will be required)
A coffee plantation will be our next stop where we try luwak coffee while enjoying an amazing view of the canyon. We will also see civets, the famous animals ‘producing’ coffee luwak.
Rested and refreshed we descend to the Gunung Kawi Temple surrounded by the beautiful jungle, where royal tombs carved into the rock are located.
After visiting the temple we will travel to the Eco-Village Spa Bali Dacha. It is a cozy, atmospheric place that lies hidden among the rice fields, a place that matches the overall feeling of our journey. In Bali Dacha we will be spending our afternoons participating in Aga’s healing sessions and enjoying delicious Vegetarian meals. Bali Dacha also has a SPA offering all sorts of treatments, and providing there is time, you can enjoy some of these services. (Prices of the treatments are not included in the cost of the journey)

WHAT ARE ANTAH JOURNEYS?
When confronting specific problem areas in your life, it is easier to make these changes when you are away from your usual surroundings. Antah Journeys are powerful retreats that take participants on a journey of healing and discovery. During these journeys we will address specific issues while also being emerged in the location, chosen specifically for the purpose of the journey. We have held Abduncance Workshops in Dubai and Hong Kong and Healing Retreats in Glastonbury, UK.
