Panchakarma 14 Nights (Private Group Christine Raffa)

This is a 14-night Panchakarma retreat at Oneworld Ayurveda Ubud in Ubud, Bali, held as a private group for Christine Raffa. Panchakarma is the Ayurvedic programme of cleansing and renewal, and a fortnight is a considerable stretch of time to give it. The retreat suits people who want an immersive Ayurveda stay in Bali in the company of their own group, rather than joining an open intake of individual guests.

What to Expect

The programme runs for fourteen nights. Oneworld Ayurveda describes its Panchakarma as a healing programme in which you take your health into your own hands, and the length of stay matters here: Panchakarma is a process that unfolds over days, so a two-week stay gives it room to settle rather than rushing it.

Because this is a private group, the stay is arranged for Christine Raffa's party. Oneworld Ayurveda also offers Panchakarma stays of other lengths, from seven nights up to three and four weeks, but this one is the fourteen-night format. The group's stay is split across the Ubud calendar as a single block, so everyone arrives and departs together.

The specific treatments, daily timetable and consultation arrangements are set by the Oneworld Ayurveda team, and anyone planning to attend should expect to receive those details directly through the group.

The Setting

Oneworld Ayurveda is based in Ubud, the cultural and wellness heart of Bali, Indonesia. Ubud is a long-established destination for yoga, meditation and traditional healing, and it makes a natural home for an Ayurveda retreat that asks you to slow down and stay put for a while. A fortnight in one place, away from ordinary routines, is a large part of what a Panchakarma stay offers.

Before You Go

This is a private group stay, so places are arranged through the group rather than as an open booking. If you are interested in joining, the first step is to ask the group's organiser, Christine Raffa, whether space remains.

Oneworld Ayurveda Ubud also runs open Panchakarma programmes through much of the year for those who would rather attend independently, and it keeps a waiting list for dates that are fully booked. Indonesian nationals and KITAS or KITAP holders can receive a discount on standard Panchakarma stays, subject to terms and conditions. It is worth asking the team whether that applies to a private group booking.

Panchakarma is a thorough, supervised programme, so it is sensible to speak with the Oneworld Ayurveda team about your health, any medication you take and what to bring before you travel.
