Fearless-Retreat Bali

Every day we explore fear, self-worth, self-confidence and courage from different perspectives and with various activities. In the daily yoga lessons, you test your physical and mental limits. Practice enduring unpleasant feelings and transforming them into inner calm and serenity. Surfing is your mirror to yourself, your playground, your training field. Actively apply the mental exercises in the water and find back to playfulness, joy and flow in your surfing. Some of our mental blocks have an irrational and unconscious aspect about them. That’s when hypno-coaching comes into play. And all this on the beautiful island of Bali: delicious food, warm water, tropical vibes, and the friendly Balinese culture.

Surfing goals:
Depending on the level: improve your take-off, learn how to duck-dive, practice bottom and top turns, and train maneuvers like cutback or snaps.

Mental goals:
Overcome fear, build courage & confidence, get out of negative thinking, 100% commitment to the wave, connect with yourself, and harmonize your body-mind-soul connection.

Problems:
Does fear keep you from catching waves? When it gets bigger and steeper, do you lack commitment and often pull back? Do you lack confidence and feel uncomfortable in a crowded line-up? And maybe you’re struggling with some fundamental life questions like “Who am I?” or “What do I want in life”?

YOUR SURF LEVEL:

Your Surf Level: Intermediate or intermediate-advanced

Many spots in the south of Bali are over reef and unsuitable for beginners or inexperienced surfers. That is why you need to be at least intermediate level and have some paddle fitness. Just ask us if you are unsure about your level.

You surf a shortboard, a mid-length, a funboard or a longboard.

You must be able to do at least: Duck dive or the turtle roll. You can get into the line-up independently, even in challenging conditions. Your take-off is more or less solid (even on steeper and faster waves). You can do a simple bottom- and topturn.

The visa-on-arrival can be extended for another 30 days after arrival through a visa agent. Currently, it is possible to apply for an electronic visa-on-arrival before arrival. You can do that here: https://molina.imigrasi.go.id/ (please note that the visa is valid only 90d from the date of issue.) I.e. you should apply for the visa at the earliest 90 days before your planned entry. The visa entitles the holder to a stay of 30 days.

COVID:

• It is your responsibility to check in advance if you can enter Indonesia. Unfortunately, we cannot be responsible for COVID restrictions imposed by your home country or Indonesia. Make sure that your travel insurance also covers COVID-related cancellations. Check with the Indonesian embassy in your home country for current entry requirements.
• We explicitly exclude any liability for flight bookings.
• To enter Indonesia, you must be fully vaccinated against Covid (two shots for most vaccines, one shot for J&J). It doesn’t matter when the vaccination took place; there is no “expiration date”. In case you can’t be vaccinated for medical reasons, you have to show proof with a medical certificate. A booster is not necessary, a PCR test is not required either > as of 12.12.2022). HERE you can find an article by Indojunkie with an informative listing (in German).
