About The Retreat
We designed this retreat for the people who want to learn different techniques to help people to strengthen their health in natural ways using Ayurvedic science, Massage, Energy and Sound healing, Aromatherapy, Yoga and Meditations.
Attending this retreat, you have a unique chance to receive basic knowledge about 5 tools to work with human health and wellbeing:
Ayurveda Basics course (5 hours)
Ayurveda is the art of daily living in harmony with the laws of nature. It is an ancient natural wisdom of health and healing, a science of life. The aims and objectives of this science are to maintain the health of a healthy person and to heal the disease of an unhealthy person. Both prevention (maintenance of good health) and healing are carried out by entirely natural means.
According to Ayurveda, health is a perfect state of balance among the body’s three fundamental energies, or dosbas (pata, pitta, kapha) and an equally vital balance among body, mind, and the soul or consciousness.
Ayurveda is a profound science of living that encompasses the whole of life and relates the life of the individual to the life of the universe.
It is a holistic system of healing in the truest sense. Body, mind, and consciousness are in constant interaction and relationship with other people and the environment. In working to create health, Ayurveda takes into consideration these different levels of life and their interconnectedness.
As a science of self-healing, Ayurveda encompasses diet and nutrition, lifestyle, exercise, rest and relaxation, meditation, breathing exercises, and medicinal herbs, along with cleansing and rejuvenation programs for healing body, mind, and spirit.
Numerous adjunct therapies such as sound, color, and aromatherapy may also be employed. The purpose of this retreat program is to acquaint you with these natural methods, so you can make the lifestyle choices and learn the self-healing modalities that are right for you in order to create, maintain, or restore health and balance.
Massage course (16 hours)
You will learn traditional Balinese relaxing massage. Balinese massage is a full-body, deep-tissue, holistic treatment. Traditional Balinese massage uses a combination of gentle stretches, acupressure, reflexology, and aromatherapy to stimulate the flow of blood, oxygen and “qi” (energy) around your body, and bring a sense of wellbeing, calm and deep relaxation. Balinese massage uses a variety of techniques including skin rolling, kneading and stroking, and pressure-point stimulation, combined with the aromas of essential oils.
Energy Healing course (6 hours)
You will learn energy healing technique Sat Nam Rasayan. Sat Nam Rasayan® is a technology that stems from an ancient healing tradition, traced back to the great Indian healer, yogi, and Sikh master Guru Ram Das. It has been taught secretly and in silence from Master to the student, until the 1980s.
At that time, Yogi Bhajan, the master who also brought Kundalini Yoga to the West, taught it to his chosen student, a reputed Shaman, and healer named Guru Dev Singh, with the mission to teach this technology openly for the first time.
Sat Nam Rasayan is the most easy and safe energy healing technique, that you can use for someone or for yourself to work with absolutely any request.
Sound Healing course (6 hours)
Sound Healing is a powerful way to reduce stress and calm the mind, allowing practitioners to sink into deep states of relaxation – which sounds like something that would be amazing to add to your yoga class!
The practice of sound healing uses sound waves and harmonic vibrations that affect the body through different tones and instruments, including the human voice.
These specific sounds help to harmonize our brainwaves through a technique called entrainment. Entrainment stabilizes fluctuating brainwaves by providing a stable frequency with which the brain can synchronize. By using rhythm and frequency, we can entrain our brainwaves and facilitate a shift from our normal brain state to relaxed levels of consciousness, which is where deep healing can occur.
We typically operate in beta brain states and sound healing can move us into theta and delta brain states. These brain states are associated with the unconscious, deep relaxation and connection to the universe.
Aromatherapy course (4 hours)
Aromatherapy is a technique that allows you to determine the characteristics of a person’s psychoemotional state. This is the answer to many questions related to a person.
You will learn how to choose exactly those essential oils that can destroy negative attitudes and open the way to harmonize someone’s life.
Essential oils have access to the limbic system of the brain, also called the “emotional brain.” It is there that the feelings and emotions of difficult and traumatic situations that we cannot control and which we cannot put in order either with the help of self-control or with the help of reason are blocked and stuck. But they negatively affect our health, relationships and destiny.
Essential oils are able to penetrate the limbic brain and break down the blocks that keep you from being happy. Fragrances have a subconscious or unconscious effect on our mental states, help to show more positive personality traits, and therefore make us happier.
The learning process will be enforced by practicing yoga and meditations in different traditions: Hatha, Yin, Kundalini Yoga.
During the Retreat you will have 1 long SPA treatment for relaxation. At the same time you can experience Balinese massage on yourself to know what you are going to learn.

Dream Hill Retreat Center
Mostly yoga classes and cultural activities are conducted at the Dream Hill Retreat Center. The property stands on the top of the rock with 360 degrees view of the Bali Sea, mountains, rice fields, and Kaliasem village. To get to the top you have to climb 98 steps, but it is definitely worth it!
A quirky wooden hotel is the most extraordinary accommodation you have ever stayed in. A huge infinity swimming pool is located on the top of the rock. It has an ashram construction type with small single cabins or twin/double rooms with shared bathrooms. One deluxe bungalow with a private bathroom and private lounge pool is available for 1 or 2 people (double bed, fan).
Santhiku Hotel, Villas, Yoga & SPA
Santhiku Hotel, Villas Yoga & SPA is the place where Santhika Retreat Center started its history in 2017. Nowadays we conduct main activities at Dream Hill, but we still accommodate our guests and sometimes make yoga classes at Santhiku.
This place is recommended for those who require air-conditioning and a private bathroom in their own room. There is a small lounge pool on the spot, a SPA center, and a restaurant as well.

What past guests have said
I honestly find it hard to find the words, to sum up this experience. I was often out of my comfort zone but loved every moment. I recommend going with an intention to say YES to every opportunity. You can choose how much you want to delve into the experience, and I am glad I jumped straight in. I feel full of life. Thank you for absolutely everything!”
I was positively calm and relaxed and realized how much this retreat has helped me to slow down with life and mostly work. Anna and Veronika both have impacted me with their teachings and I am really thankful I found them.
I had such a lovely time on the yoga retreat! The yoga had such variety and I learnt so much. It was the perfect break for a mum of three travelling alone! I’m not a full-time yogi, but asanas were adjusted for me, and the meditation was beyond words. Do yourself a favour and book it! Thank you so much for everything!
