2022 Theme: Gathering

“Connection is why we're here. We are hardwired to connect with others, it's what gives purpose and meaning to our lives, and without it there is suffering.” -Brene Brown

Can you feel the energy of transformation? The world is opening again, and it’s time so seize the opportunity that we have been dreaming of for three years. The planet has transformed, and we have lived through major global shifts the likes of which humanity has never seen before. We now live in a world where the act of gathering is rare, cherished, and worth every breath of connection sitting face to face with friends and loved ones. It is time to emerge and receive the gift of collective care, healing, and joy that can only come from being together.

Welcome to the 2022 Wellbeing Worldwide Retreat, whose theme is GATHERING.

We will unite together as a family and explore the pristine jungles, stunning ocean reefs, and the deep mysteries of uncharted self-discovery in Bali, Indonesia. We humbly invite you, your cherished loved ones, and dearest friends to join in the joyous celebration, awe-inspiring adventures, and deep connection of being in community together at Wellbeing Worldwide 2022.

 Our Retreat Location: West Bali

Jungles, beaches, hot springs, and intercultural connection awaits.

Journey deeper into the jungles of Bali than you have ever traveled before. Prepare for a location so stunning, so breathtakingly pristine that the Contentment Foundation is proud to call it home for one week. We will take you to the farthest corner of northwest Bali at the unlikely meeting point of a national preserve, a coral reef, and a geothermic forest. Together we’ll explore one of the most sacred areas of the Island of the Gods protected by international preservation efforts and directed by local expert guides. Swim in pristine waters inhabited by thousands of new aquatic friends waiting to meet you. Can you see the blue pools ahead in the forest? Dip into the sacred hot springs powered by magma and brought to you through the magic of Mama Bali’s ancient geothermic power. Most importantly of all, join your family and receive the in-person love you have been waiting for since 2019.
