Elemental Presence
A 5-night intimate retreat of somatic practice, yoga, ceremony, nature immersion and deep rest in Intaaya’s private cliffside sanctuary.
You have been carrying a lot, for a long time. Here, you can finally set it down.
Five days to slow down, reconnect with your body and restore clarity through movement, somatic practice, ceremony, nature and rest. A space to step away from constant doing and return to a more grounded, connected way of being.
Not a break from your life. A return to yourself.
Mother of Intaaya
For more than 18 years, I have explored what helps us live with greater clarity, presence and connection, through embodiment, contemplative practice, architecture, hospitality and family life.
I shaped Elemental Presence as a journey of return: to the body, to nature, to community and to your own inner knowing. I hold this journey with you, alongside our facilitator team.
I look forward to welcoming you.

The One Who Keeps Going – you have been running on capacity for too long and your body is asking for a pause.

Nestled on the edge of Nusa Penida's breathtaking cliffs, Intaaya is a sacred space that invites guests to reconnect with the primal forces of nature, uncover their soul's purpose, and ignite their true potential.
This is a place where the spirit of the land and the rhythm of the ocean guide our journey towards healing and renewal.
