The Next Chapter Personal Retreat
A private, clarifying and deeply restorative retreat for those navigating signicant change. 6 days, 5 nights in Ubud, Bali.
There are moments when life no longer feels the same.
A relationship changes.
A career loses meaning, or you lose your career.
A business succeeds, but fulfilment does not follow.
A loss reshapes your priorities.
A long-held identity begins to loosen.
Or perhaps nothing is obviously wrong, but something inside you knows that change is needed.
The Next Chapter is a private immersive experience by The Juicy Effect, created for people who need space, support and perspective before moving forward.
It is not a group retreat.
It is not a fixed programme.
It is not a holiday disguised as healing.
It is a carefully curated experience designed around you, your story, and the chapter of life you are ready to understand, release or begin.
The Next Chapter Private Retreat is an intimate, entirely one-to-one experience for those who are seeking clarity through a period of personal change whilst also giving themselves the time, privacy and space to genuinely recharge.
In addition to personal attention from our range of change experts, you will stay in your own own private villa, eat nourishing gluten-free food, receive private in-villa massages, time beside the rice fields, personalised healing sessions and generous periods of completely unstructured time.
The philosophy - you do not have to choose between navigating change, finding clarity and deep rest. This retreat brings it all together — powerful healing work, next action steps, and the space to receive, integrate and restore.
Your private retreat experience
The retreat is held entirely one-to-one and has been developed by our director, Jason Buchanan, who oversees sessions delivered by our practitioner team. There is a clear framework, but the retreat is never rigid. Your sessions and practices are tailored according to your circumstances, intentions, and what emerges as the retreat unfolds.
The Rhythm Of The Retreat
The retreat has a carefully designed arc, but the experience remains spacious. The time between sessions is not empty time — it is part of the retreat. You may sleep, swim, read, journal, walk through the rice fields or do nothing at all.
-
Your first day is intentionally spacious, creating a transition from your current chapter towards your next chapter:
Private transfer from airport or wherever you are in Bali to your private Villa.
Settle in, unpack, decompress and begin to enjoy having a space that is entirely your own.
Welcome pack - includes a personalised guidance based on pre-retreat information, a journal and pen, intention-setting material, practical villa information and a small locally sourced gift.
11.30am Private introductory session to explore where you are now, what has been demanding your attention, what you have been carrying and what would make this retreat genuinely valuable for you. Together we establish personal intentions that become a guiding thread for the days ahead.
Lunch & private afternoon. Lunch is served in your villa, followed by generous unstructured time to sleep, swim, read, journal, walk or simply enjoy the sanctuary.
Private In-Villa Massage. To help you unwind from your journey, settle into your surroundings and transition into the restorative rhythm of the retreat
The evening is also yours - rest or explore.

Day 2 begins the work that needs to be done during our time together.
Breakfast & relaxed morning. Served at your Villa. Sleep, rest, journal, swim or simply enjoy the morning at your own pace.
10am — Shamanic Energy Healing Session with Sharon-Marie. This session is personalised according to your intentions, what emerged during the introductory session and what is ready to shift. The work may support releasing accumulated energetic and emotional weight, clearing what is no longer serving you and creating space for new energy, clarity and possibility.
Nourishing Lunch from Unity Café - served at the villa (or eat at the cafe, your choice).
Where are you now - Following the energy work, we explore where you are currently at and techniques to truly let go of the old you.
Optional contemplative rice-field walk. Where appropriate, we may suggest a contemplative walk through the surrounding rice fields. A selected contemplative practice can support clarity, emotional balance and spaciousness of mind, allowing insights to arise naturally.
Evening - unstructured for your own enjoyment.

Day 3 introduces another modality selected specifically for you, based on your needs and what has emerged so far.
Breakfast & relaxed morning. Enjoy your breakfast served at your villa and enjoy a spacious morning.
10am — Personalised healing session. Your modality is selected according to your needs. It may include Sound Therapy, Reiki or Breathwork. Sound Therapy can support deep relaxation and energetic rebalancing; Reiki can support relaxation and energetic balance; Breathwork can support grounding, regulation, release and connection with the body.
Lunch & integration. Lunch is followed by time to rest, journal, or simply allow the session to settle.
Opportunities. Our team of experts guide you on a journey to discover the symphony of possibilities available right now to explore, without the pressure of making any decisions.
Optional contemplative rice-field walk. A further walk may be offered if it feels supportive, with the practice tailored to clarity, grounding, emotional balance or a particular life question.
Evening - the remainder of the evening is deliberately unstructured and yours to explore the magic of Ubud at night if you so choose.
-
By Day 4, you have had time to settle, receive healing and begin noticing what is changing. This day introduces a different lens for understanding yourself.
Breakfast & relaxed morning - time to rest, read, journal, swim or enjoy the villa.
11:30am — Personalised Energetic Blueprint session. Using Vedic Astrology as a foundation, this session will explore your energetic blueprint and the themes that may be particularly relevant to your current stage of life. The session can explore natural energetic strengths, where energy is expended, current life themes, areas requiring balance and what may support greater alignment.
Lunch from Unity Café - a nourishing lunch is served at the villa.
Rest & personalised contemplative practice. The afternoon remains spacious, with a contemplative practice selected to support clarity, grounding, emotional balance, perspective or integration.

Check-out & private transfer to Airport. Airport drop-off is included, allowing the retreat to conclude with the same ease with which it began.
A retreat that adapts to you
Although there is a carefully designed six-day framework, the retreat is never intended to feel like a fixed programme. Every guest arrives with different needs, experiences and intentions. The modalities, contemplative practices, depth of exploration and amount of structured time can therefore be adapted throughout the retreat.
The framework provides the container; you determine where the experience goes.
The private villa experience
Your villa is not simply accommodation — it is part of the retreat. It gives you privacy and space to sleep, swim, read, journal, rest, swim an integrate between sessions. Beautiful rice fields nearby provide an opportunity to walk in nature whenever it feels supportive.
Nourishment throughout your stay
Your breakfast and lunch are provided by Unity Café and are gluten-free and celiac-safe. Food is nourishing, beautiful and enjoyable, with organic coffee, plant-based milk options and fresh juices available. Meals are served to you in the privacy of your villa, allowing the relaxed rhythm of the retreat to continue.
The essence of the experience - Come for the healing. Stay for the rest. Leave feeling restored.

FAQs
What makes this different?
1
Most retreats ask you to join a group and follow a shared schedule. The Restorative Healing Retreat is private, spacious and personalised. There are no large circles, no forced sharing, no rigid timetable, no pressure to have a dramatic breakthrough and no requirement to identify as spiritual. Instead, you are supported by experienced practitioners in a calm, private environment where reflection, healing and integration can unfold at the right pace.
Do I need to be spiritual?
2
No. Many guests are spiritually curious, but no particular belief system is required. At The Juicy Effect, we combine the best from what works from a range of disciplines.
Can my partner come with me?
3
Yes, depending on the situation. The accommodation is a private villa and it is possible for a partner to be part of the accommodation.
What happens after I enquire?
4
You will be invited to complete a short pre-call questionnaire. If the experience appears suitable, we will schedule a private discovery call. From there, we create a personalised recommendation and proposal.
