IS THIS FOR YOU ?
You think clearly.
But you don't feel much.
This retreat is for people who are good at managing their career, their emotions, their life but who sense that managing isn't the same as actually living. You're not broken. You've just been living from the neck up for a very long time.
​
We work at the pace your nervous system can actually integrate, not the pace Instagram says healing looks like.
—
You're successful but quietly exhausted
—
You've tried therapy, journaling, meditation, something's still missing
—
You're in a period of transition and need space to land
—
You lead others and have forgotten how to receive
—
You intellectualise your feelings instead of feeling them
—
You want to reset somewhere that holds you, not performs at you
—
You're curious about breathwork and want to go deep, safely
—
You want to feel at home in your body again
THE WORK
What we'll
move through together
Every session is designed around the nervous system first. We don't push through. We move at the pace of trust and everything we do is chosen because it works on a body level, not just a cognitive one.
01
SOMATIC PRACTICE
Body-based awareness techniques that help you notice, track, and release what's held in the body. No prior experience needed.
04
NERVOUS SYSTEM TOOLS
Practical regulation techniques you
can take home. The retreat is a
beginning, not a destination.
02
BREATHWORK
Guided breathwork sessions ranging
from activating to deeply restorative.
Full integration and support provided.
05
INTEGRATION CIRCLES
Held group sharing after deeper
sessions. Optional, never forced. The
group becomes part of the medicine.
03
YOGA & MOVEMENT
Slow, intentional movement designed
to land you in your body. All levels welcome.
06
NUSA PENIDA ITSELF
Sacred land. Clear water. No city
noise. The environment does more
than any session could.
A SENSE OF THE RHYTHM
Days that
breathe
This is a guide, not a timetable. We leave space for the unexpected rest, integration, spontaneous ocean time. Some mornings are held in silence, giving you the rare gift of beginning your day without words.
JUNE 27

JUNE 29
INTO THE DEEP
Manta Ray Morning · Breathwork · Evening Ceremony
An early morning excursion to swim with Nusa Penida's resident manta rays, one of the most humbling experiences the ocean offers. We return changed. Afternoon breathwork session, held in the container the mantas opened.
JUNE 30
THE SETTLE
Silent Morning · Melukat . Deep Breathwork · Sharing
Another silent morning. Space to notice what has moved in you without immediately narrating it. Mid-morning, we gather for a Melukat, a traditional Balinese water purification ceremony performed at a sacred spring. Holy water poured over the body and crown, clearing what the previous days have loosened. We return lighter. The afternoon holds the retreat's deepest breathwork session. Evening fire or ceremony to integrate.

YOUR GUIDE
I'm Doris.
I spent years living in my head processing everything intellectually, explaining my feelings instead of feeling them. Yoga and self-development became another way to optimize rather than actually arrive.
​​​
The shift happened when I stopped trying to fix myself and started listening to my body instead.
​​​
I guide retreats, group programs, and workshops using somatic healing, breathwork, yoga, and body-based coaching. I work with people who are ready to stop thinking their way through life and start feeling it.
​​
I'm based in Bali. I've facilitated retreats and programs across Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, and globally. Into the Deep was born from a belief that the right environment — the right water, the right land, the right people can accelerate what years of practice alone couldn't.
KIND WORDS
What people
carry home
"Doris guided me through a deeply grounding journey that helped me release unresolved emotions, bringing so much clarity and peace. I felt my body fully let go, my mind go completely still as if I were floating between sleep and wakefulness in total relaxation. It was an experience beyond
words."
BREATHWORK SESSION
"The Catalyst Retreat has been truly life-
changing. I've left this retreat inspired,
reignited, and carrying a spark of excitement
for what's next."
CATALYST RETREAT . REPREAT ATTENDEE
"You don't hand people the answers, you
remind them the treasure was always theirs to
begin with."
​

​
DOROTHY . CHATALYST RETREAT
"This session really helped me quieten and
focus the mind, and connect within. A magical
experience. I will also join the online sessions
when I return home."

COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you
reach out
Is this for men too?
Yes. This is a mixed-gender retreat. The somatic and breathwork work we do here is not gendered, it's human. Men often find this kind of space rare and transformative precisely because it doesn't ask them to perform. All that's required is willingness to show up with an open body.
Do I need prior experience with breathwork or somatics?
No. Everything is taught progressively. You are guided through each practice step by step, with full support before and after deeper sessions. Beginners often go the furthest.
Is this therapy?
No, and this distinction matters. We are working with the body, not diagnosing or treating. That said, the practices used here (somatic awareness, breathwork, nervous system regulation) are evidence-based and used in clinical settings. If you are currently working with a therapist, this retreat can complement that work beautifully.
What if I have a physical limitation or health condition?
Please disclose any relevant conditions when you register. Some breathwork protocols are contraindicated for certain conditions (cardiovascular, history of seizure, certain psychiatric diagnoses). We will work with you to ensure your participation is safe and appropriate.
How do I get to Nusa Penida?
Fly into Bali (DPS). From Sanur, take a 45-minute fast boat to Nusa Penida. We'll share detailed logistics and recommended boat operators once you've reserved your spot. Most guests fly in the day before departure and stay one night in Bali.
What is your cancellation policy?
Your deposit (30%) is non-refundable as it holds your place and covers preparation costs. The remaining balance is fully refundable up to 30 days before the retreat start date. After that point, refunds are not available but your spot may be transferred to another guest.
