ABOUT KRISHNA DAS
Krishna Das is a Grammy Nominated American vocalist known for his performances of Hindu devotional music known as kirtan (chanting the names of God). He has released seventeen albums since 1996. He performed at the 2013 Grammy Awards, where his album Live Ananda (2012) was nominated for the 2013 Grammy Award for Best New Age Album. He's been described by the New York Times as "the chant master of American yoga.
When touring, Krishna Das often offers workshops, where practitioners and the curious are able to pick his brain on subjects ranging from the spiritual to the intimately personal. He is an advocate for regular spiritual practice, especially chanting, and for many, he has become a teacher of sorts, a spiritual Big Brother with a quick-witted sense of humor, as well as a calming voice of wisdom, reason and practicality. During the pandemic lockdowns, KD offered weekly online satsangs, showing up without fail to facilitate a safe space for people to connect, to practice, ask their questions, and share their troubles and joys. The impact, for many, was profound.

Let your spirit expand and discover more of yourself and the wonders of nature through unforgettable journeys. Get lost in beautiful jungles, rice paddies and picturesque yoga spaces.

THE HANUMAN PROJECT
The Hanuman Project is an ecstatic bridge between traditional lineages of Bhakti yoga to a meaningful, authentic and contemporary experience.
Potent in creating fields of deep coherence and deliciousness at festivals, gatherings and retreats… And often instrumental in creating a environment for participants to truly open up, offer their full voices, heart and souls to the practice for the very first time…
NINA RAO
Nina Rao learned traditional chants (bhajans) from her grandfather in a village in south India when she was nine years old. The chants quietly stayed with her until she rediscovered chanting with Krishna Das in New York in 1996. In 1998 she met her guru, Sri Siddhi Ma in the foothills of the Himalayas and spent time with her regularly for 19 years.
SHANI DAYAL
As a practicing Architect, at the age of 28, I started practicing yoga. Though professionally I took a different path and became an architect and also opened a design studio with my husband. Yoga brew as my passion for all these years as I understood that yoga is my calling and took it professionally. I started exploring the practice and it became an experience of growth, expansion of awareness, conscious living and finding my calm in chaos.

ABOUT SOULSHINE
WE CREATE AN ATMOSPHERE WHERE LIFE’S ALCHEMY CAN TAKE PLACE. WHERE THE ORDINARY IS TRANSFORMED INTO THE EXTRAORDINARY.
Soulshine is a boutique sound + wellness resort, located in the tropical paradise of Bali’s cultural hub, Ubud. Rooted in barefoot luxury and Rock & Roll, at Soulshine we believe it is just as important to connect to your heart on a yoga mat, as it is to let your soul soar on the dance floor, or spend time enjoying farm to table food grown right on location.
Owners International recording artist Michael Franti and former Emergency Room Nurse turned Entrepreneur Sara Agah Franti built Soulshine around the idea of ‘the joy of wellness’. A magical and open-hearted place where one can hit life’s reset button through the practice of inward and outward expressions of joy. We are a place of creativity where there is music and artwork around every corner. We want people to feel inspired to create, to express who they truly are and to be their best self.
We are dedicated to gathering people to share in the joy of wellness, music, incredible food and most importantly good vibes. Whether your purpose of travel to Bali, is to find something or let something go, to create, to transform, to soak in the sun in the day and rock out at night, it can be found at Soulshine.

What airport do I fly into?
Denpasar Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) is the international airpot you will be flying into. Remember you can lose up to two days with the time change and flight time, so double check your arrival date and retreat start date.
How do I get to Soulshine from the airport?
Airport transfer is included in your package. One of our trusted drivers will meet you with a Soulshine Bali sign and big welcome smile. If you need pick up from another hotel, we can arrange this for a small fee.
What is the electrical current/outlet in Bali?
Bali electricity runs at 220V. Adapters will be necessary if you are bringing any electrical items. We use the European plug (two round pins). We have adaptors for you to borrow and all our rooms have at least one American adaptor to plug directly into. You can also borrow adaptors from reception once you arrive.
We provide hairdryers in each room. Please do not bring your hairdyrer as it might blow.
Do I need vaccines?
Traveling outside of you home country can expose you to bugs your body might not be used to. The odd case of "bali belly" (diarrhea) is not uncommon. Packing an anti-diarrheal can put you at ease. It's always nice to check in with your family doctor or local travel clinic if you need any information on vaccines or medications to bring with you. We've got some great pharmacies ("Apotek" in Indonesian) and an awesome health clinic nearby Soulshine Bali in case you need anything. To enter Indonesia you need to have proof of Covid-19 vaccines.
What is the currency?
The currency here is called Rupiah. You can bring your own currency over and convert it, or use ATM machines to withdraw Indonesian currency. ATM withdrawal fees vary bank to bank, so make sure you check in with yours to get all the info. Many restaurants and stores take credit cards. Don't forget to let your bank or credit card company know you are traveling.
What do I pack?
Because we are located near the equator, Bali tends to have fairly stable weather with the ‘wet’ season occurring between November and March and the ‘dry’ season between May and September. The sun still shines bright during the wet season. It is generally always hot with temperatures hovering in the mid to high 80s and up. We recommend light clothing that breathes but can also protect you from the sun. Being near the equator, our sun is hot and can burn much faster than what you might be used to. Sleeves or a light jacket is also helpful in the evenings if you decide to take a scooter ride. We've got great natural bug spray and SPF 25 sunscreen, but don't forget to pack your own if you have your favorites.
