Return to Wonder
Beauty and Belonging in Bali
You’re invited to Ubud to join Tate Sutton for a women’s wellness retreat on the sacred island of Bali, Indonesia, from April 11-17, 2027. Together we will journey through the Island of the Gods, guided by lived experience, sacred tradition, and the beauty of slowing down.
A Sacred Return
Bali changed my life long before I ever imagined leading retreats.
While serving in Peace Corps Indonesia, I spent time immersed in the language, culture, and daily rhythms of life. During that time, Bali became a place of restoration, adventure, spiritual curiosity, and deep connection.
This retreat is my invitation to share that experience with you.
We’ll explore ancient temples, practice yoga surrounded by jungle and rice fields, experience traditional Balinese culture, enjoy beautiful meals, spend time at the ocean, and embrace the slower pace that makes Bali so special.
This isn’t about checking destinations off a list.
It’s about experiencing Bali through the eyes of someone who genuinely loves Indonesia.
Bali isn’t just a place I’ve visited; it’s somewhere that helped shape who I am.
This retreat is an invitation to experience the Indonesia I fell in love with, through sacred traditions, meaningful connection, and unforgettable adventure.
What makes this retreat so special?
- Experience Bali with a host who lived in Indonesia as a Peace Corps volunteer
- Participate respectfully in sacred temple traditions and a Balinese water purification ceremony
- Stay in a private luxury villa surrounded by jungle and rice terraces
- Enjoy daily yoga, meditation, Pilates, breathwork, and guided reflection
- Explore Ubud, local markets, artisans, beaches, islands, temples, and natural landscapes
- Balance meaningful adventure with spacious time to rest, journal, receive treatments, and enjoy the villa
- Experience the warmth, kindness, and hospitality Indonesia is known for
- Maximum of 13 guests and a $750 deposit reserves your space
Bali teaches us that beauty can be a daily practice, devotion can be joyful, and wonder can be found everywhere.
Slow down long enough to notice what has been waiting for you.

This gives you time to settle into your room in the villa, rest, and adjust before the retreat officially begins. *Transportation and food for early arrivals is not included.*
What’s Not Included:
- Airfare (*we recommend booking this as soon as flight guidance is provided, and we’re happy to help with the process)

Tate has a way of helping you reconnect with your intention and purpose in life while surrounding you with laughter, love, and sisterhood. Not only did we soak up the beauty, food, and culture of Tuscany, we formed lifelong friendships that I’ll forever treasure.
If you ever have the opportunity to attend one of Tate’s retreats, GO! Don’t think twice. You’ll come home changed, inspired, grounded, and full of joy.

MEET YOUR RETREAT HOST:
Health and Wellness Innovator

Hi, I’m Tate, your host for Sacred Retreats Bali. Years before leading retreats around the world, I lived in Java, Indonesia as a Peace Corps volunteer, spending my time fully immersed in the language, culture, and rhythms of daily life.
During that time, Bali became a place of restoration, adventure, curiosity, and connection. It was where I first learned to surf, wandered temple grounds at sunrise and sunset, shared meals with new friends, played with monkeys, and experienced a way of life that continues to inspire me today.
This retreat is my invitation to share the Bali that captured my heart, not as a tourist destination, but as a place rich with beauty, tradition, spirituality, and wonder.
Together we’ll explore sacred temples, experience meaningful cultural traditions, enjoy incredible food, spend time in nature, and embrace the slower pace that makes Bali so special.
I can’t wait to share this extraordinary place with you.
In Bali, beauty isn’t reserved for special occasions. It is woven into everyday life.

Q: What makes this retreat different from other retreats?
