Bali Wellness Retreat: 7-Day Nervous System Reset

This somatic nervous system reset retreat in Bali is a seven-day program at HUOMN, a somatic retreat center in Sukawati, near Ubud. It is built around breathwork, somatic sessions and daily yoga, and is meant for people who want to work with stress and held emotional tension through the body rather than through conversation. Each week is capped at 14 guests.

HUOMN describes the approach as somatic: techniques that allow the body to release and transmute emotional energy blockages, with breathwork used to ease traumatic stress responses. It is not a psychological or cognitive-therapy retreat, so there is no talk therapy here.

What to Expect

The week runs Sunday to Saturday. Arrival day begins with check-in from 2:00 PM. Guests are asked to be at the property by 4:30 PM, and orientation starts at 5:00 PM. A baseline BOLT Score measurement is taken on that first day, giving a simple reference point for your breathing at the start of the week.

Days two through six are given to daily practice: breathwork, somatic sessions and yoga, with chef-prepared meals between them. The rhythm is steady and repeated, which suits nervous system work, where regularity matters more than variety.

On the final Saturday, the BOLT Score is measured again and the seven-day program closes.

Optional add-ons are available if you want more support during the week: Balinese massage, energy cleansing and sound healing.

The Setting

HUOMN sits in Sukawati, Bali, about 40 minutes from Ubud and around 60 minutes from Ngurah Rai Airport (DPS). Accommodation for the full seven days is part of the program, and all meals are prepared by a chef. With a maximum of 14 guests, the group stays small.

Airport transfers are not included, so plan your transport from DPS ahead of the Sunday arrival.

Before You Go

The program includes accommodation, all chef-prepared meals, daily breathwork, somatic sessions, daily yoga, and BOLT Score measurement on the first and last days. Balinese massage, energy cleansing and sound healing are extra.

Prices are set in Indonesian rupiah, and current room prices are listed with the dates for each week. Payment is by bank transfer only. You can pay a 50% non-refundable deposit, with the balance due on arrival, or pay in full. Full payment is required within seven days of arrival.

HUOMN is clear about its limits: it is not medical or psychological care and is not a substitute for it. If you are managing a health condition or are in treatment, it is worth speaking with your own practitioner before choosing a retreat of this kind.

HUOMN also runs a separate program, The Immersion, on the island of Sumba in East Sumba. It is a different offering, centered on traditional healing, with groups of no more than four people. This description concerns the seven-day retreat in Bali.
