Your Week at A Glance
Across 9 days at Gaia Oasis, you’ll be held in a lush, nature-immersed sanctuary designed for deep nervous system regulation. Each day weaves together morning meditation, focused guided practice, spacious integration time, and grounded community support. The rhythm is intentionally slow and attuned—prioritizing safety, felt sense, and gentle titration—so your system stays within capacity while allowing meaningful, embodied work to unfold.
Your Daily Rhythm
A steady pace for meaningful work
Sessions are consent-led and titrated. We keep a consistent pace so your body can trust the process and integrate each session.

Your venue
A restful space in Bali
The venue for this BBTRS® Training is set in the beautiful Balinese countryside, facing the sea. It’s a stunning spot for snorkeling and with a bit of luck, you might even see some dolphins. During the training, there will also be opportunities to just relax and enjoy the pool or to treat yourself at their Wellness Centre which offers Balinese, Ayurvedic, and Western-inspired beauty and health treatments. Accommodation is in Balinese-style bungalows constructed out of bamboo, natural stone, and wood, equipped with open-air bathrooms, hot water, fully-equipped kitchens, and bedrooms with mosquito nets. We will enjoy three buffet meals a day with a large variety of healthy Indonesian and Western-inspired foods, largely vegetarian and some fresh fish dishes, served at the beach-facing restaurant. Mineral water, different teas, Balinese coffee, and cocoa are available throughout the day.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Have questions? Here are some of the most common things people want to know before joining—especially around safety, certification pathways, and logistics.
Is this safe for trauma work?
Yes sessions are intentionally gentle and paced. You’ll always stay within what feels safe and supportive for your body — no force, no breath holds.
Is this workshop part of the certification path?
Yes—this immersion fulfills one of the three required in-person trainings for the Advanced Professional Practitioner Certification (for those on the practitioner track). Personal-growth participants are also welcome.
Refunds and transfers?
BBTRS® does not offer refunds. Limited transfers may be possible depending on timing; please review the full policy before booking. Travel insurance is strongly recommended.
Is intense work better for releasing trauma?
Not necessarily. BBTRS® avoids forced catharsis; we work within your capacity using pacing, consent, and titration. Strong sensations can arise, but we let the body lead so change integrates rather than overwhelm. You can always slow down, observe, or pause—no force, no breath holds.
