So please do bring some cash with you.

As part of the retreat we will be organising a day trip out. Or you are welcome to stay at the centre to relax, or have some space for something you would like to do.

The trip to the Buddhist Monastery will be combined with a stop at the Hot Springs.

The temple complex is around 1,5 hrs drive from Prana Veda and is situated in the middle of the mountains. The multilevel temple offers a breathtaking view across the valley to the sea onto abundant rice paddies, vineyards and jungle-like forest. The Brahma Vihara monastery is surrounded by a big garden with tropical plants, a lotus pond and many exotic flowers. Spread across the compound, you can admire numerous stone sculptures and ornated buildings. It is a peaceful and contemplative place where visitors are welcome to meditate.

It is allowed to take pictures inside the temple compound. You will also find possibilities to buy water and snacks across the parking.

Clothes: - long trousers, long skirt or Sarong - Sarongs can be borrowed for donation - women should cover their shoulders

The sacred Hot Springs are an old site located in the midst of the jungle in a beautiful tropical garden setting. The sulfurous water is of volcanic origin and has an agreeable warm temperature of 38 degrees Celsius. There are several pools of 1-2 m depth.

There is a cozy restaurant on the grounds of the hot springs where you can have a snack. Also, you will find many shops along the way to the Hot Springs that sell sarongs, towels etc.

The mystical and holy Hot Springs are also very popular among the Balinese families. On the way back you can stop in Lovina to buy clothes and souvenirs or round out the day in one of the beach cafés.
