On one side, retreats of genuine spiritual depth — profound, ancient, transformative, but often held in settings that ask the body to endure rather than restore.

On the other, the gleaming temples of modern longevity — extraordinary science, luxurious comfort, yet rarely touching the deeper question of why we became depleted in the first place. 

The Bridge Between Worlds 

Soul Revival was created to close that divide — profound spiritual healing and cutting-edge longevity science, woven together as one coherent journey, held in the luxury of a boutique sanctuary. The emotional and energetic release of the inner work is met, hour by hour, with the physical restoration to integrate it. 

For over a decade, Bliss Body Journeys has been among the leading spiritual healing retreat brands born in Bali — boutique by conviction, deeply personal by design. Our journeys were never created for the many. They were created for the few who appreciate a genuine integrative approach to spiritual healing and awakening. 

As times evolve, so do we. When the moment came to find a new home for our sacred work on the island, Vlada de Sousa searched for it herself. She visited every sanctuary Bali had to offer. When she walked through the teak forest of REVĪVŌ, there was no doubt left. Here was a place where the two worlds could finally become one. 

Five days, four nights, an intimate circle of guests. November and December 2026 mark the beginning of a long-term partnership between both brands. 

The Spiritual Heart: A Journey of Release, Renewal and Return 

There comes a moment when the life you have been living no longer fits the soul you are becoming. Soul Revival was created for that moment. 

At the heart of the retreat is a five-stage protocol — guided personally by Vlada de Sousa, world-renowned spiritual guide, advanced energy healer, and holistic healing therapist.

It begins in the body, where everything is held, and ends in reclamation: embodied arrival, energetic release of what has accumulated through years of stress and survival, a compassionate meeting with the parts of yourself you learned to hide, the awakening of all seven energy centres. Finally the Soul Revival ceremony — a return to the confidence, joy, and aliveness that life once asked you to set aside. 

Each guest also receives private one-to-one counselling sessions with Vlada, somatic release yoga and breathwork, and the sacred Balinese Melukat purification ceremony — holy spring water, offerings, prayer, and release held in the most sacred sites of authentic Bali. 

This is a unique soul healing journey of rare depth and impact. 

A Sanctuary Where Wellbeing Lives in Every Corner 

The space rests within hectares of ancient teak forest in Nusa Dua, surrounded by tropical rainforest, birdsong, and the distant shimmer of the Indian Ocean. Recognised by the Michelin Guide and a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, it is the kind of place where luxury is never announced — it is simply felt. In the cool of the marble beneath bare feet, the sunken bath waiting at dusk, the private garden where the jungle comes to meet you. 

Boutique in scale yet generous in space, the resort holds a rare balance: premium in every detail, and yet you move through your days feeling as though the entire sanctuary belongs to you alone. 

The full hydrotherapy circuit is woven into your journey: far infrared and charcoal sauna, aroma-infused steam chamber, jacuzzi, and hot and cold plunge pools that leave the mind washed clean. Spiritual awakening and liberation in the morning. Cellular restoration in the afternoon. The soul and the body — renewed, released, replenished in symphony. This is a true homecoming. 

In the Hands of Vlada de Sousa 

What makes this journey safe enough to go deep is the one who holds it. 

Vlada de Sousa has spent more than a decade working at a rare intersection: the intuitive and the clinical, the ancient and the evidence-based. Her gift lies in bridging worlds that rarely speak to each other — the spiritual knowledge of energy healing and shamanic practice, refined through years of devoted study, woven together with advanced therapeutic models: Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic trauma healing, and polyvagal-informed nervous system work. 

In her hands, these are never separate approaches. The energy work opens what the mind protects; the therapeutic frameworks ensure that what opens is met, understood, and integrated — safely, and for good. It is why her guests describe the work not as something done to them, but as a homecoming they were held through. 

Vlada has guided hundreds of people through the most significant transitions of their lives — through her private practice, her retreats, and The Soul’s Therapist Podcast. Her gift is not a technique. It is perception — and the steadiness to walk beside each person as they find their way back to themselves. 

For the Ones Who Feel the Call 

Soul Revival is limited to a small circle of guests, each held with Vlada’s full presence from the moment of booking through post-retreat integration. It is a journey for those who sense they have drifted from themselves — and who are ready, at last, to find the way back. 

For those seeking the finest luxury spiritual healing retreat in Bali, Soul Revival at REVĪVŌ is a rare chance for profound recalibration — where ancient spiritual wisdom and science-based luxury wellness finally meet in your favour.

Join us as we delve into the ancient mystical traditions of Ubud, Bali. Combined with guided spiritual practices, these traditions become a catalyst for lasting inner change.

What Makes Ubud so Unique and Appealing for Your Sacred Journey

Ubud’s history is woven with of ancient legends, cultural evolution, and spiritual practices. The town’s origins can be traced back to the 8th century when the Javanese Hindu priest Rsi Markandeya established a temple in the area. This temple, now known as Pura Gunung Lebah, became a focal point for spiritual activities and marked Ubud as a place of significance.

Over the centuries, Ubud developed into a cultural and spiritual hub, drawing artists, scholars, and healers. The royal family of Ubud played a crucial role in promoting the arts, establishing Ubud as the cultural heart of Bali. Today, Ubud continues to be a beacon for those seeking artistic inspiration and spiritual solace, offering a unique blend of ancient traditions and contemporary practices.

The Sacred Volcano Agung and the Religion of Holy Water

Mount Agung, Bali’s highest and most sacred volcano, holds a profound place in Balinese spirituality. Considered the home of the gods, Agung is revered as a source of life and spiritual energy. Its presence is deeply intertwined with the religious practices of the Balinese people, who honor the volcano through extensive ceremonies and offerings.

The religion of holy water, or Tirtha, plays a crucial role in balinese sacred rituals. Tirtha is not merely water; it is a conduit for divine blessings and purification. Used in temple ceremonies, purification rituals, and daily offerings, Tirtha symbolizes spiritual cleansing and connection to the divine. The act of honoring the gods with holy water underscores the Balinese belief in maintaining harmony between the physical and spiritual worlds.

Local Healing Rituals

Healing is deeply embedded in Ubud’s daily life. Traditional Balinese healing practices, known as “Usada,” combine herbal medicine, energy healing, and spiritual rituals connected to the moon cycles. Life in Ubud can truly be described as a never-ending ceremony.

A significant aspect of healing in Ubud is the ritual of Melukat, a purification ceremony aimed at cleansing the body and soul from negative influences. Melukat ceremonies are often conducted in temples with natural springs, such as Pura Tirta Empul, where participants bathe in the holy water to achieve spiritual renewal. Typically performed on the full moon, this energy cleansing ceremony offers profound emotional release.

Spiritual Meditation Retreat in Ubud

Taking part in a spiritual meditation retreat in Ubud offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the serene and mystical atmosphere, fostering profound personal growth and spiritual awakening.

Bliss Body Journeys offers a 7-day Soul Revival Spiritual Retreat guided by expert healer and spiritual teacher Vlada de Sousa. This retreat is meticulously crafted to provide deep spiritual transformation, soul-searching, and healing for people of all backgrounds and levels of practice.

Participants stay in luxurious accommodations that blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings, providing a peaceful sanctuary for introspection and rejuvenation.

Daily meditation sessions deepen your practice and cultivate a connection with the Self. Yoga classes, held in an open-air pavilion overlooking rice fields and lush forests, enhance energetic well-being and physical alignment.

Beyond the structured daily routines, the retreat includes pilgrimages to local temples for healing, allowing guests to experience the spiritual energy of Ubud firsthand. These immersive experiences, combined with personalized attention and care, create a nurturing environment for transformation and renewal.

A Memory That Lasts a Lifetime

Combining Ubud’s timeless traditions with modern spiritual practices creates a powerful catalyst for personal growth and healing. The profound impact of this fusion nurtures a sustained sense of balance and spiritual enlightenment. As you return to your daily life, the peace and clarity gained from this sacred experience will continue to guide you.

Those who have felt the potent healing energy of Ubud often find themselves returning, seeking further enhancement of their original experience.

We look forward to creating long-lasting memories and making a deep impact on everyone’s spiritual path.
