3-Day Private Retreat + Shadow Work
Step into stillness. Choose how deep you journey.
Why Choose the Add-On
Sometimes life asks us to pause. To step back from the noise, the roles, the striving.
In these three days, you return to stillness through yoga, breath, and meditation and a rhythm of guided self-inquiry just for you.
For those who feel called, the Shadow Work Add-On offers a gentle introduction to inner exploration — a soft, guided encounter with the parts of yourself you may have set aside or forgotten. Not to fix or go deep, but simply to understand yourself a little more and reconnect with your inner wholeness.
Return to yourself through meditation & yoga and go deeper with shadow work: a safe way to face what you’ve been carrying and finally begin to live, not just survive.
THIS ADD-ON OFFERS:
A clear introduction to shadow work through parts work and guided dialogue that helps you meet the hidden aspects of yourself shaping your choices and relationships.
Somatic and emotional practices using movement, breathwork, and embodied exploration to create safe release for what has been held inside.
Experiential journeys into archetypes and patterns that support you in reclaiming suppressed strengths and integrating forgotten truths.
What to Expect
This is a personalized 1:1 retreat designed to take you out of daily distractions and into a rhythm of stillness, practice, and inner exploration.
- 3 hours of guided sessions daily (yoga, meditation, theory, philosophy)
- Spacious breaks for reflection, journaling, or rest
- 2 nourishing plant-based meals per day at Samyama Eatery
- The choice to deepen further with an afternoon Shadow Work add-on
- A safe, private environment where everything is tailored to you
You can expect both structure and space: enough guidance to feel held, enough silence to hear yourself more clearly.

Shadow Work Add-On
A gentle introduction to Jungian Shadow Work
Enrich your private retreat with a soft and accessible Shadow Work experience designed to bring clarity, embodiment, and self-awareness. This add-on offers a light guided exploration of your inner world — meaningful, but not a deep therapeutic process.
Through a blend of Jungian archetypes, simple inner-parts exploration, gentle somatic practices, and reflective journaling, you’ll:
• Gain insight into hidden or overlooked aspects of yourself
• Connect more deeply with your emotions and intuition
• Recognize inner strengths and patterns with curiosity
• Feel grounded, centered, and supported
A perfect add-on for guests who wish to deepen their retreat with inner connection, without intensity — just softness, clarity, and mindful discovery.
Why Book This Retreat
This retreat is for you if you feel called to:
- Reconnect with yourself through meditation in a structured yet compassionate way
- Take a short but powerful pause from life’s demands without committing to a long group retreat
- Receive personalized attention that meets you exactly where you are in your practice
- Begin or deepen a path of self-inquiry, whether as a first step or as a renewal
- With the shadow work add-on: courageously explore hidden patterns and reclaim forgotten strengths
This is not just a retreat, it’s a reset button for your inner life.
Many guests describe these three days as “more valuable than weeks of trying to figure it out alone.”
When to Book
- During life transitions (career change, relationship shifts, relocation)
- When you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself
- If you long to restart your meditation practice or take it deeper
- When you can’t commit to a full week or more, but still need meaningful transformation
- Before or after joining a group retreat, to prepare or integrate in a more intimate setting
Why Samyama
Samyama is not a wellness center; we are a sanctuary for authentic inner work.
- Depth & authenticity: rooted in yogic tradition, mindfulness, and shadow integration
- Experienced facilitators: you are held by teachers who live the practices, not just teach them
- Personalized experience: unlike group retreats, this is designed around you and your needs
- Serene environment: nestled in the heart of Ubud, surrounded by nature, designed for stillness
- Integration focus: tools, journaling, and guidance you can take home with you
At Samyama, you are not a guest passing through. You are held as a seeker, with reverence for your journey.
Choose Your Depth
Every retreat is a doorway inward. You decide how far you wish to step – into the stillness of meditation, or deeper into the hidden landscapes of the shadow.
