Stay

Our retreat will be held at the Nirarta Centre for Living Awareness, an oasis nestled in the quaint and serene hills of Sideman (see-da-men), Bali. Located outside of Ubud, this tranquil sanctuary is surrounded by lush valleys and picturesque rice terraces, with the majestic presence of Mount Agung gracing the distant horizon.

This retreat center offers an idyllic setting for our journey, combining natural beauty and tranquility. Here, you will find a peaceful haven to reconnect with yourself and fully embrace the serene energy of Sideman during your retreat journey.

Kayla Gonzalez

Kayla is a dedicated yoga and meditation teacher, sacred space holder, facilitator, and lifelong learner passionate about restoring balance through liberating movement and breath. Committed to walking alongside others on their journey of remembering and embracing autonomy and joy, she creates environments where healing and growth flourish.

Kayla’s diverse experiences reflect her dedication to her Dharma—her true calling. From teaching high school biology in Liberia and working in nonprofits across Milwaukee, to facilitating yoga trainings and hosting international retreats, her unwavering dream has been to build meaningful relationships and provide spaces for joy and healing.

Her journey led her to earn her RYT-500 certification with a focus on Intuitive Wisdom and Holistic Psychology, and embark on travel to the Himalayas, Andes, Caribbean, and Central America. These transformative travels were guided by a profound call to healing through intuitive, ancient, and ancestral wisdom.

Spaces held by Kayla are infused with ceremony and shared from a deeply embodied place. Her yoga and meditation classes gently guide participants into their bodies, balancing challenge with ease and breath. Trainings, workshops, and sacred gatherings offer profound opportunities for connection, learning, self-reflection, and spiritual growth.

As Kayla continues her own journey of healing, learning, and evolution, she hopes to support others in embarking on their own paths of love and expansion.

Kathryn Julyan

Kathryn has been a seeker and lover of wisdom for as long as she can remember. After earning an M.A. in Philosophy from Tufts University and teaching Philosophy, Religion, and Gender Studies at Eastern Washington University for two decades, she came to understand that "Philosophia" is as much about seeking wisdom that is LOVING, as it is LOVING wisdom. She is also a Ph.D. Candidate in Asian Philosophies and Cultures at the California Institute of Integral Studies.

Kathryn launched URLOVE Mystic Philosophy LLC in 2024 after earning her 500 RYT from the School Yoga Institute in Costa Rica. She now shares the deeper mystical side of world philosophies as a yoga instructor, teacher trainer, and content creator through her URLOVE Mystic Podcast and YouTube channel. Kathryn has been blessed to study with spiritual masters such as Acharya Shunya, Carol Whitfield, and Dayananda Saraswati, who taught her that at the core, we are all ONE-LOVE-CONSCIOUSNESS. Her passion is to spread this vision through sharing the energetic and vibrational aspects of Yoga, Ayurveda, and Vedanta (non-duality) in ways that are accessible to all. Kathryn invites everyone to join her in awakening their sacred, sensual soul and unveiling their deepest love essence through the dance of vibration to help spread universal love and connection throughout our world.
