Bali luxury holistic retreat, Indonesia
How this holiday makes a difference
Environment
Environmental Awareness.
We believe that a basic understanding of natural and social systems is integral to a sustainable relationship with the environment. Therefore, we encourage formal education through our workshops and guided healing programs, as well as spontaneous individual learning through the opportunities that are present throughout the landscape of Puri Ahimsa.
Guided and framed by Balinese Philosophies, we are inspired to share the Balinese way of life, which nurtures harmony with spirit, the environment and one another.
Tri Hita Karana, Living in harmony with God, among humans and with nature.
Tri Kaya Parisudha, Living in alignment with clean mind, clean speech and clean action
Panca Mahabhuta, the Five Elements, is a Hindu concept, which explains how internal (buana alit or microcosm) and external (buanaagung, macrocosm) forces work together and are united in the Universe.At Fivelements, we envision a place for learning to love and respect life. Our sustainability approach derives from continual interaction and mutual support of the various elements and activities that comprise life at Puri Ahimsa. As such, we strive to love all of the influences within our environment, whether it be respecting water resources by storing rainwater, supporting land stewardship through village waste management programs or maintaining spiritual balance by conducting daily ceremonies. We are always seeking new ways to build on our current programs through immediate synchronicities and long-term partnerships.
Community
Social Sustainability.
At Fivelements, our Management Team is committed to continuous cooperation and open dialogue with our neighbours in the village of Baturning, across the island of Bali and around the world. It is our intention that, through this ongoing dialogue, mutually beneficial solutions can be found for any challenges or conflicts that might arise.Positive Impact
Our Design and Operations teams are committed to minimising the impact of our activities on the land we occupy and to ensuring that any disturbances will be offset by positive action in the form of tree planting and the support of like-minded sustainability efforts.
Fivelements presents authentic healing excursion programmes in Bali and throughout Indonesia.
The art of traveling is an act of letting go. At Fivelements, we believe traveling through Bali can present once-in-a-lifetime experiences that open the heart, mind and soul and nurture personal growth and healing. Inspired by this belief and supported by our collective experience on the Island of the Gods, we have developed a selection of unique customizable one to five day Healing Journeys.
Following a pre-consultation with one our guest liaisons, we will suggest a personalized itinerary for a Sacred Pilgrimage, a Village Immersion or a Nature Trek, as well as pairing you with experts in appropriate fields of study to guide and enrich your experience. A dedicated team will then work together to thoughtfully personalize each day in line with the Balinese Philosphy of Tri Hita Karana. The goal of these Healing Journeys is to inspire balance between the spiritual, natural and social spheres of life.
Based on your individual interests you may soon find yourself on a pilgrimage to a hidden cave temple with a Balinese priest and a cultural anthropologist…You might be welcomed into a remote Balinese village for an extended stay in a local home with a Gamelan musician and a Linguist.…Or maybe you prefer to make a trek into Bali's mountain-top rainforests to search for healing herbs with an ecologist and one of our Balinese Healers.
