Bali holds a special place in my heart. It's where I dreamed of returning while healing from leukemia at 21, where I met my kids' mum at 27, and where I completely reinvented my path in life at 36.
It's also where the VysionQuest process was refined, during dozens of retreats on this incredible island.
There's something about Bali—the energy, the culture—that just opens doors, inside and out.
Our last retreat here was five years ago, right before the world turned upside down with COVID. I'm so glad to be coming back, and even more grateful to share this journey with you. Over the past five years, the VysionQuest process has evolved so much. I'm excited to watch what happens when she is reunited with our beloved Bali!
The venue we'll be staying at is incredible. It feels like stepping back in time to the Bali of 30 years ago. It's tucked away on a river, surrounded by jungle and rice paddies—an oasis of natural simplicity.
I stayed here with Amy (my partner) in 2023. It's run by her close friends Johnny and Cath, and while we stayed and surfed at several of my favorite beaches during those three weeks, it was this spot in the hills that turned out to be our highlight.
When I returned in 2024, Johnny and I started talking about hosting a VysionQuest retreat here in 2025, and the decision was easy—I booked it straight away.
Here's what makes VysionQuest different from any other retreat or personal growth program.
I'm not here to give you the answers. My role is to create a space, ask the right questions, and guide you to find those answers within yourself. That's my gift and that's where the process' transformative power lies.
This process is about uncovering what truly matters in life and reconnecting with the part of you that already knows what's next. It's like stepping outside your life, seeing it with fresh eyes, and coming back with clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose.
If you feel a quiet pull from inside to join us for this journey, trust it. That feeling often knows more than we do.
All my love,
Rick

From the moment you arrive, it feels like stepping into another world. There's no traffic, no city chaos—just the gentle hum of waterfalls outside your bungalow, the song of jungle insects, and the breeze moving through coconut trees.
This place isn't just where you'll stay—it's where you'll reconnect. Every element of the retreat is supported by the land itself. The food you'll eat is grown organically right here, harvested fresh for each meal. The water you drink flows directly from a mountain spring, pure and refreshing. Even the products you'll use—like shampoo and insect repellent—are crafted with care to be gentle on your skin and the environment.
Waking up here is something else. You'll feel it right away: the stillness, the simplicity, the connection to something bigger. It's the perfect space to let go of the noise of daily life and dive into your VysionQuest.
This sanctuary isn't just a backdrop—it's part of the transformation.
Stay in beautiful open-air, overwater bungalows surrounded by vibrant, ever-changing views of rice paddies, mountain streams, and food forests stretching to the horizon. On clear days, you might even catch a glimpse of the sea. By night, drift off to the soothing sounds of flowing water and the jungle's natural symphony—a primal lullaby.
Garden Dining
Rediscover the joy of real, wholesome food. Meals at Bali Eco Stay are made with organic fruits, vegetables, freshwater fish, and pasture-raised chicken, grown or sourced with care. The flavors are fresh, vibrant, and bursting with the authenticity of Balinese home cooking, prepared with love and respect for the land.
Nature Living
This is your jungle playground—a space to unplug and reconnect. Swim in freshwater rock pools, learn traditional crafts from the local Kakek (grandfather), or explore untouched landscapes and villages on foot or bike. Every moment here is an invitation to slow down, let go, and be fully present in nature.
Experience the magic of Bali in one of eight open-air overwater bungalows. These spaces immerse you in nature while offering total comfort and privacy—your own peaceful sanctuary, surrounded by waterfalls, rice paddies, jungle, and mountain streams.
The bungalows are designed to honor Bali's natural beauty, built from locally sourced materials that blend seamlessly into the lush mountain landscape. Their open-air design keeps them cool all day and night, no air-conditioning or fans needed. Being in the mountains, it's naturally 5–10 degrees cooler here than on the coast.
Step onto your terrace at night to watch fireflies dance under a canopy of stars and the moon. Drift off to sleep to the soothing sounds of crickets and rushing water. It's a sleep like no other, surrounded by the rhythms of nature.
At Bali Eco Stay, every meal is an experience. Fresh fruits, vegetables, and spices are picked straight from the permaculture garden, and you're welcome to visit it yourself. Our pasture-raised chickens and freshwater fish are sourced from nearby organic farms, and we even grow our own vanilla and cacao in rich volcanic soil—completely chemical-free.
Meals are served in the beautifully handcrafted restaurant, perched above rice paddies and food forests, with views stretching all the way to the Indian Ocean. Open windows let in cool breezes from the valley, so it's always comfortable—whether you're enjoying breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
It's not just about the food, though the flavors are incredible. It's about slowing down, savoring each bite, and reconnecting with the simple, nourishing joy of eating real food in a place that feels alive.
