Besakih Temple Spiritual Healing Retreat

As promised our Besakih Temple Spiritual Healing Retreat experience is finally here.

Whilst we are still able to take our week long retreat guests on a sacred tour of Besakih Temple, post Covid, the individual personal healing experience with Shelly and the Mangku became no longer possible for us to facilitate within the temple.   

In adapting to this, Shelly has created a weekend spiritual healing retreat for small intimate groups of six people, which will be held at the Mangku’s newly completed Besakih retreat centre.

The retreat runs from Friday through to Sunday and includes:- Meditation, Sharing Circle, Group Energy Healing Process, Fire Ceremony-Agenihotra, a Welcome Gift and a Powerful Individual Healing with Shelly and the Mangku.  Culminating in a Unique Personalised  visit to and experience of the Mother Temple, Besakih.

About

The Mangku

Has a warm, gentle and reassuring presence. You will feel welcomed and instantly at ease by his calm confidence and gentle grace as he greets you

Shelly & The Mangku

You cannot fail to notice the genuine connection, joy and ease between Shelly and the Mangku as they greet each other.

They share an incredible tangible bond, built on the deep love and respect they have for each other.

Your Individual Healing

The pure divinity of the sacred connection between the Mangku and Shelly is the foundation to facilitate your deeply personal healing experience at Besakih Retreat Center.

Together they work from a state of humility, surrender, grace, and a pure intention to serve.  This creates a beautiful force of harmoniously blended, balanced, masculine and feminine energy.  As they work they become one mind, one heart, one language and one love, which is then transferred to you through their loving hands into your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies.

This transference of pure love creates an opening for a powerful cathartic emotional release.  Your healing experience is assisted by setting your own intention to grow and evolve, by your willingness to surrender the control of your ego, which in turn, allows the limitless healing power of love, grace and self-acceptance to flow freely through you.

Besakih Temple

Traditional Balinese clothing will be provided for your use for your visit to the temple. In this holy place, the wearing of these items is a ritual robing, a sign of respect, a tangible connection to the ancient energy of the temple, and a symbolic connection with the others in your group. 

There are many levels to the Temple and many paths leading to them. The Mangku chooses the journey. Along the way he will stop to explain the significance of a level, a gateway or some specific architecture.

Two or three times during the visit you will be offered the opportunity for prayer and blessing.

The Mangku will inform you of the Gods who are being asked to bestow the blessing and the gifts they offer.  This is so you can set your own intention and request. The ritual of the blessings includes burning incense, offering flowers, private prayer, and being anointed with holy water. They are simple and profound, and assist in clearing your mind and bringing peace to your soul.

The Mangku will also be praying for you, offering words of wisdom and insight and he will complete your journey with the gift of a traditional Balinese Benang Tridatu.

The Benang Tridatu is the tri-coloured red, black and white bracelet traditionally worn by the Balinese Hindu population. White represents purity and divinity, red symbolizes the creative life force or energy, and black stands for protection and power.

“Visiting a huge ancient and active temple is memorable, informative and fascinating in itself. However, a visit with Shelly is much more than that.

When you experience these ancient rituals and meditation on this holy ground with Shelly and the mangkku, it will move you and stay with you forever. The soul longs to be met at its own level – spoken to in its native language. In our busy western lives it rarely gets this opportunity. A trip with Shelly to the temple does just that – speaks directly to the soul and spirit – nourishing and enlivening them.

The experience will be profound and will remain with you. I encourage you to take the opportunity and attend.“
