As Bali prepares to celebrate Nyepi, the sacred Day of Silence, Soulshine Bali invites guests to step away from the chaos of daily life and immerse themselves in “The Great Slowdown”—a specially curated retreat designed for deep relaxation and self-renewal.
From March 28–30, 2025, this 2-night, 3-day experience offers the perfect balance of tranquility and comfort, allowing guests to embrace the unique cultural traditions of Nyepi in the serene surroundings of Ubud.
Nestled in the lush, peaceful heart of Ubud, Soulshine Bali is more than just a resort—it’s a sanctuary where music, connection, and inner peace converge. Founded by musician, poet, and activist Michael Franti and entrepreneur, nurse, and philanthropist Sara Agah Franti, this oasis blends the rhythm of music with the essence of mindfulness, creating a retreat that radiates energy, creativity, and calm.
“During Nyepi, we believe in the power of slowing down—pausing, breathing, and truly being present,” says Michael Franti. “Nyepi is a profound moment in Bali, when the entire island comes together in silence and stillness. We want to offer an experience that allows guests to fully embrace that peaceful energy while feeling comfortable and fulfilled in every way.”
