Holding Space Retreat Bali
Grief Retreat Bali
A Retreat for Women Navigating Loss, Change or Emotional Exhaustion
Many women come to Escape Haven simply to rest and restore.
Others arrive after a season that has asked a lot of them. The loss of someone they love. The end of a relationship. A period of caring for others where their own needs were put aside.
Sometimes the reason is clear. Sometimes it is harder to explain.
For many women, there comes a moment when they realise they have been carrying something that was never meant to be carried alone. The weight of responsibility, guilt, or the belief that they have to keep holding everything together. When that weight begins to lift, there is space again for joy, connection and the possibility of love.
What many women share is the feeling that they need space. Space to breathe, sleep more deeply and reconnect with themselves again.
Escape Haven offers a calm and supportive environment where women can step away from daily life and allow their nervous system to ground.

A Different Kind of Support
Escape Haven has spent nearly two decades creating retreats for women who need time to rest, reset and reconnect with themselves.
The retreat sanctuary is calm, private and beautifully designed. Days move at a gentle pace with space for yoga, nourishing meals, spa treatments and quiet time to reflect. Everything is at your pace and optional.
For guests who feel they may benefit from additional emotional support during their stay, this grief and bereavement healing retreat has been created especially for you.
This package combines body based therapies and private support sessions that help release tension, regulate the nervous system and create space for emotional balance.
The Holding Space Experience
The Holding Space Experience
We want to ensure that those who are experiencing grief and loss have the tools to navigate this experience with guidance. Guests who include this experience in their retreat receive a combination of private support sessions and body based therapies.
Choose two private sessions
Kundalini Activation with Ailise
Kundalini Activation is a gentle yet powerful energy transmission that supports emotional release, nervous system reset, and a deeper reconnection to yourself. This transformative healing experience helps create space for stored emotions, stress and patterns to be released, without needing to analyse or talk through everything.
Unlike breathwork, yoga or other technique-based practices, Kundalini Activation is a non-effort practice of surrender. There is no right or wrong way to experience it, and every session is as unique as the person participating. During this 90-minute experience, you are simply invited to lie down, relax and receive while the music plays, allowing the process to unfold naturally.
Guests leave feeling lighter, calmer, more connected, and with a renewed sense of clarity and inner peace.
How to Prepare
- Arrive with an empty or lightly nourished stomach.
- Wear comfortable clothing that allows for ease of movement.
- Avoid alcohol, caffeine and other stimulants on the day of your session.
- Bring an open heart, a curious mind, and leave expectations behind.
Healing for Trauma Release with Ed
Trauma does not stay in your head. It imprints on the body, and when it is not released it shows up later as fear, guilt, anger or the sense of being stuck. Ed has helped people across the world heal trauma stored in the body, break old patterns and step toward a new life. His session combines brainspotting, a recognised form of psychotherapy, with medical Qigong and transformational breathwork. Women often leave saying they feel like they are in a new body. This is one of the most direct forms of support we offer, and it is held with deep care.
Sound Healing with Dr Raj
Sound healing uses vibration, through gongs and crystal singing bowls to relax the mind and body and bring you into deep rest. The specific frequencies guide your brain out of its everyday busy state and into the slower, restorative states where the body’s own healing happens. It is used to ease anxiety, lower stress, improve sleep and settle the nervous system. Dr Raj brings years of practice and a calm, grounded presence to each session. Many women say it is the most rested they have felt in years. Expect deep sleep and feelings of calm.
Plus your choice of two of the following sessions:
Somatic Breathwork
Somatic breathwork uses the breath to reach what words cannot. Guided through specific breathing patterns, the body is given permission to release tension and emotion that has been carried for a long time, sometimes even years. It is held as a group ritual, which means you move through it supported, alongside other women doing the same quiet work. There is nothing to try and get right. All you need to do is lie down, breathe, and the body does the rest.
Deep Bodywork
Some grief lives in the body long after the mind has tried to move on. Deep bodywork releases the physical tension that holds it, working through the places where stress and emotion settle and stay. Each session is guided by an experienced practitioner who reads what your body needs and works at the pace that is right for you. Women often notice their breathing comes easier afterwards, their sleep deepens and long held tension releases finally. The body remembers how to let go.
Escape Haven Letting Go Ritual
The Letting Go Ritual is a traditional Balinese water blessing, led by our local priest, and it has marked moments of change on this island for generations. You are guided through a ceremony of release on our local beach, a way of saying farewell to what is no longer yours to carry and stepping toward what comes next. For women navigating grief, heart break or the end of a chapter, it offers something words often cannot: a clear moment of closure, held within the culture that has honoured these passages for centuries. Many women describe it as the moment the week changes.
These sessions are spaced throughout your retreat so everything feels calm and supported.

A Message From Our Guests...
Client Testimonials
Spreading The Escape Haven Love
What Women Often Experience
Many guests arrive feeling tired, tense or emotionally overwhelmed.
During their stay they often notice small but meaningful shifts.
Their bodies soften. Sleep improves. Breathing becomes easier. Thoughts feel clearer.
Most importantly, they feel supported.
Why Bali Supports Emotional Healing
Healing in Bali is not separate from everyday life. It is woven into the rhythm of the island. Offerings are placed at temples each morning. Ceremonies mark moments of change and transition. Water temples, blessings and ancient healing traditions are still practised with reverence today.
Away from familiar responsibilities and expectations, it becomes easier to listen inwardly and reconnect with a quieter part of yourself.
A note from our founder
There was a time not so long ago when I was exhausted, burnt out, and disconnected from the parts of myself I loved most. I knew something had to change, so I took a week away, just for me. I rested and allowed myself to be cared for. And slowly, something in me came back to life.
I have spent the years since building places where other women can find that same space. But grief and loss ask for a different level of support than an ordinary week away. They ask for space, room to feel, permission to rest, and people around you who understand.
That is what Holding Space was made for. If you are carrying something heavy right now, I want you to know there is a place where you can set it down for a while. You do not have to explain. You only have to arrive and we take care of the rest.
Love, Jen
Janine Cottle, Founder
