Excursions
During week one we will take a ritual cleansing at the Sacred Water Temple in Tampak Siring. For week two we will visit the amazing Besakih, Bali's mother temple at the foot of the volcano, Mt Agung.

Something for the Altar - It's been our tradition to build a space for reflection in the wantilan (hoop space). Bring something that has meaning for you that you would like to share with others.
Mosquito repellent
Water Bottle - Less plastic waste. Yay!
Sun protection - Whatever that means to you. Some kind of block is recommended.
Rain gear - Bali has a tropical climate which means that sometimes it rains like crazy for about an hour, then the sun starts shining like nothing happened.
Pad and Pencil - You'll will want to take notes or keep a journal. We're creating a laboratory so keep track of our experiments and discoveries!
Head lamp
Your favorite music - We will have two nights of Community hoop jams where you are invited to bring your favorite hoop tunes.
Swim wear
Passport (your passport should be valid for another six months when you come to the island.
Your favorite hoops - There will be standard adult-sized hoops available, but you are welcome to bring your own stash including minis and twins.
Yoga mat - You'll need one for our morning yoga sessions.
Meditation cushion - Not mandatory, but if you have one that you like to travel with, bring it!

Workshop-Only Registration
If you plan to stay off-site, or live in Bali already, you can register via our workshop-only option. Attend workshops only for $1,111 per week. This rate does not include accommodation, food, excursions or airport transportation. Contact us if you're interested in this option: info@sacredcircularities.com. Also, take a look at the 2012 retreat schedule.For information about off-site accommodation, see below.

About Off-Site Accommodation
Ubud is famous for its homestays. Usually, that means you get to live in housing owned and operated by a Balinese family. Staying at a homestay gives you the chance to live in closer proximity to Balinese culture. Plus, homestays are clean, very affordable and range between $12US and $35US per night. Most homestays have hot water but some don't. Be sure to specify if you want a room with hot water when you make your booking. If you're looking for a no-frills option, living in a homestay in Ubud could be the solution for you! However, you don't have to do a homestay in order to get the workshop-only rate! Simply arrange your own accommodation and feel free to contact us if you need help. Ananda Cottages is about a 20 to 25 minute walk from the center of town. Taxi service is readily available. Also, we can provide you with a list of reliable drivers for easy transport to and from Ananda.

Here's a great link to a list of homestay options in Bali. One of my favorite places, Dana Sari is mentioned. They are located in the center of town right across from a well-known hotspot eatery in Ubud. Rooms there go for $15/night to $18/night. March is a busy time in Ubud. The earlier you email your place of choice, the better!

What's not included: Airfare, Lunch and Dinner*
*Excellent meals are available in the Ananda Cottages restaurant for $15US. Also, the retreat center is about a 15 minute walk from some of Ubud's other fine restaurants where meals will cost you from 150,000 rupiah to 200,000 rupiah (roughly $16 - $22). If you walk another 10 minutes into the center of town, you can find inexpensive but good quality restaurants for closer to 25,000 rupiah to 100,000 rupiah (from $3 - $11). Keep in mind that these prices are from 2011. Things are changing rapidly in Bali and Ubud especially, due to its recent high visibility in the film, Eat, Pray, Love. On the up side, we will be gathering in the off-season. See more information on local costs below.

Local Costs
Once you get to Bali, you'll find things like food, transportation, and gift shopping to be very affordable. Motorbikes are the preferred method of transport on the island. If you know how to drive one and plan on being in Bali for several weeks, I recommend renting one during your stay. Last year's price to rent a new motorbike for one month was 600,000 rupiah or $65US. Check your guide book for more details on how to make a budget for your trip.

Cancellation Policy
Your registration is transferable but not refundable. No exceptions. Thank you for understanding!

The airport of entry is Denpasar, which is the largest city on the island. Ananda Cottages is a 45-minute taxi drive from the airport. When you make payment, we will send you a registration form on which you can indicate your flight details. We'll have a driver and a Sacred Circularities community member there to greet you!

Visa and Passport Info
A 30-day visa on arrival is available for purchase for $25US at the Ngua Rasa Airport in Denpasar. It can be extended an additional 30 days for about $80US at this writing. If you decide to stay in Indonesia longer than two months, please contact an Indonesian Embassy to arrange a two month visa before you arrive. You will be permitted longer visa extensions while in Bali if you make previous arrangements with an Embassy before you depart from your home country. Your passport should be valid for an additional 6 months upon entry into Indonesia. Visa details vary from country to country. Pick up a Bali travel guide for more information.

Finding Fares
Check cheap airfare search engines like Kayak, Vayama, or Sidestep to find the best rates. China Airlines from San Francisco is now under $1,000! Get to Denpasar from Heathrow for around 642GBP via Singapore Air! Bali is across the international date line which means that you may find yourself leaving on Monday in order to arrive on Wednesday. The retreats start with arrivals all day on Tuesday, April 3rd  and Tuesday, April 10th with an Opening Circle at 6pm.
The Closing Circle for the retreats are Tuesday, April 10 and Tuesday, April 17 around 2pm. Note: We are planning a performance showcase for the evening of Monday, April 16 however, the location has not been confirmed. More details to come!
