As I Am Ubud Retreat

Stairway to heaven

Genesha, the God of new beginnings, protector of inner journey and remover of obstacles overlooks the entrance to the guest rooms, as a reminder to find focus in the mind, stability in the body and fearlessness on the path.

Interestingly Genesha is also the remover of writer’s block and As I am Ubud Retreat Centre lies at the end of a laneway called Jalan Seniman, which translates as Artist's Road.

All our soaps and shower gels are homemade and natural. We use castile soap, honey, extra virgin olive oil, frangipani and rosemary essential oils, salt and water.

Being gentle on the body and the environment is important to us.

We hope you enjoy using them as much as we do.

Passion for attention to detail of Balinese culture is why we built the Retreat Centre according to the traditional Limasan style, with Murdha ornamentation on the roofs.
These carved ornaments symbolize heaven, void, the ultimate goal of human life, and storage of positive energy to be channelled to all beings on Earth.

Imagine a morning yoga class in this beautiful serene shala, followed by a sumptous breakfast facing the rice fields and then a stroll in nature. Join us at As I Am Ubud Retreat and we will welcome you with open arms.

Feel free to call in for more information.

Ganesha, the Hindu elephant god, can be found in As I Am Ubud Retreat. He represents protection and the removal of obstacles from one's path. His elephant tusk symbolizes intellectual strength, adaptability and efficiency.

If people's 1st and 2nd chakras are not refined, Ganesha's purification effect would be too strong if placed below the waist. That's why, in Bali, Ganesha is always placed in high positions.

Looking for accommodation that feels like home away from home? As I Am Ubud Retreat provides high speed wifi, aircon, fresh water, elevated vibration and walking distance to shops, cafes, restaurants... in case you don't want to dine in with us 😉

We are putting together the last touches for our opening at the end of March.
Now we are designing our menu: a fusion of Indonesian and Western food, where the ingredients are sourced locally, from trusted farmers.

🥣 Which nutritious dishes would you like to see on the menu?

The first magical gathering in the yogashala today with gifted, pure and joyful souls.
Setting the intention for the retreat centre as a safe container to align to the Absolute Truth of who we are (as I AM). What a celebration it was. Namaste 🙏
