Welcome to Nirarta Living Awareness Centre  

The Nirarta Centre for Living Awareness was founded to support deep transformation in individuals and groups, leading to inner awakening to our true nature and birthright, life unfolding in Wholeness.

At Nirarta, we welcome individuals and small groups seeking to renew themselves in a peaceful and beautiful setting - whether in their own way or through guided seminars and retreats.

The Centre's lush gardens set in terraced rice fields, overlooking the Unda river, are surrounded by a ring of green hills in unspoilt East Bali, only a half hour from both magnificent mountains and seashores.

Nirarta is a place of magic and healing –
where people can learn, share, and grow together. Here, nature's unfolding sustains the natural unfolding of our own lives.

At Nirarta, you are welcome to enjoy:

 

 

 


RETREATS

Many come here for quiet and reflection.

The Nirarta Experience

This unique transformational 10-day programme offers a powerful mix of professional coaching and silent rettreat, with a period of preparation to identify key issues preceding 5 days spent alone in the Nirarta grounds. After the period of silence, participants process what happened and implications for their future direction. For more about the Nirarta Experience.

Besides the full Nirarta Experience, we offer a shorter 5-day retreat, with two days in silence – The Nirarta Experience – Mini.

Apart from the Nirarta Experience, we can also arrange an individualized programme with you, to explore and process what is important to you.

Personal Coaching is available as required. 

Self-Guided Retreats

You may, of course, come to Nirarta for a period of quiet and reflection under your own steam, in which case, you are welcome to take care of yourself and simply stay at Nirarta as a paying guest.

SEMINARS  

 

We also offer a number of transformational seminars and seminar-retreats, inspired by a unique synthesis of ancient and modern, Eastern and Western, wisdom, which we call the Way of Unfolding.
