    Astrology: Saturn in Pisces

    Making the Unreal, Real

    With Saturn moving into Pisces for the next 2.5 years, we can hold our dreams in our hands, pulling them into reality- acquiring a spiritual world where the magical and mystical live. A dissolution of long held structures will take place with new ones to come. 

    The instinct will be to escape any self-imposed structures immediately! Instead, we will consider a commitment (Saturn) to a creative or spiritual endeavour (Pisces) that can be adapted to your lifestyle. This is a process of not working for results but for the genuine, sincere experience of creating in that moment.

    This retreat will help answer questions like:
    How do you best create the world around you? What are you spiritual beliefs and practices? What is your next step in your transformation?


    Also, with Pluto just dipping his toe into Aquarius for the first time in over 200+ years, we can expect much transformation in humanitarianism, social justice, technology, science and the internet. A time of revelation and revolution of unconventional matters will take place over the next 20+ years. It begins now!

    cultural and spiritual mecca

    Ubud, Bali

    The world’s friendliest people, delicious food, and a unique and vibrant culture, set in the foothills of one of the world’s most beautiful islands. Add the stunning greenery of the rice paddies and the majestic Mount Agung as a backdrop, and it’s easy to see why Ubud has long been regarded as the spiritual healing center of Bali. In fact the word “ubud” means medicine in native Balinese.

    A true Bali stay

    Ananda Ubud Resort & Spa

    Set amid rice fields, Ananda offers a traditional Balinese-style accommodation and experience. The expansive grounds and welcoming staff exemplify Bali's natural beauty and friendly nature. Only 10-minute drive/25 minute walk from central Ubud and the Monkey Forest.

    The Schedule

    A Daily Example

    We strive to create the perfect balance between rest/adventure, learning/experiencing, & social/personal time.

    The Workshops

    Talisman-making

    Each retreat has its own special talisman- a symbol of the knowledge and wisdom aquired and inspired by the astrological theme. You will unleash your creative talent (yes, it is there- we promise) and take part in every part of the creation process. We do not disclose the type of talisman until after the opening ceremony.

    • Walk along the most beautiful rice terrace
    • Tour the island's beautiful waterfalls
    • Witness the talented Balinese artists at work
    • with even more surprises planned!

    The History of Ananda Ubud Resort

    In the 11th century, the great Hindu priest Markandya Rsi, was on pilgrimage from Ubud to the great Mother Temple of Bersakih, on Mount Agung. On the way he noted some sacred places and one of these was the holy hill where Ananda Ubud Resort now stands, a happy and holy place. Ananda means Bliss in the ancient Sanskrit language.

    In 1972 Wayan Pageh, the owner of Ananda Ubud Resort, built a home here for his wife Nyoman Suryani. He was then an assistant to the King of Ubud, as his ancestors before him. Nyoman was the local midwife. Later they built the family temple and the first guest rooms in the family compound, as friends visiting Ubud needed somewhere to stay.

    From this Ananda Ubud Resort grew over the decades to the family hotel it is now. New bungalows have been added through the gardens and the rice paddies, with halls for Yoga retreats and pools. There are now 3 generations of Wayan's family at Ananda Ubud Resort. His children Wayan ,Dewi and Yani have taken over the day to day running of the hotel, with Wayan and Nyoman looking after their 7 grandchildren.
