Blue Mandala – a unique Silent Retreat in Bali

The Blue Mandala Silent Retreat is an oasis of silence secluded from the noise of the world – the silent extension of the Bali Mandala.

Free of given structures and dogmas the Blue Mandala Silent Retreat is a place at which the power of silence can be explored in a very personal way. Therefore the Blue Mandala Silent Retreat is an “island of silence” for all people who long for a time of retreat beyond the setting of a monastery, ashram, or other forms of spiritual communities.

It is located in an enchanted garden by the sea, the untouched beauty and timeless ease of this place invites people to find peace and “come home” to themselves.

Beach House

Garden House

Two Balinese style houses – the oceanfront “Beach House” and the tropical “Garden House” – offer the ideal setting for a time of undisturbed contemplation. The rooms are furnished with antique Javanese canopy beds, tasteful colors and fine Asian fabrics. Open bathing areas surrounded by bougainvillea, well-equipped kitchens and spacious porches welcome you to unwind in the midst of Eden like nature.

Guidance & Support

The Blue Mandala Silent Retreat is led and looked after by Gisela von Keiser.

“Living in the Blue Mandala close to the retreat houses I see myself as a ‘guardian of silence’ and competent contact person for all organizational, content-related and spiritual concerns before and during the retreat.”

Gisela von Keiser on her connection to the retreat:

“It is my wish and vision to share the magical atmosphere of the Blue Mandala with people who long for an individual retreat and time of contemplation.

Embedded in the vision and logistics of our resort, the Bali Mandala, I consider the Blue Mandala as a silent extension of the Bali Mandala. The power of silence of this place supports people to gain the inspiration and confidence to face the challenges of our time with new courage.”

Team

Alongside the personal supervision of the retreat place and the spiritual support possible on request by Gisela von Keiser, the Blue Mandala is run by a Balinese team of five. Our staff members are closely connected to this place since many years and take care of the garden, room service, nightly security, or whatever assistance may be needed.

As a matter of course it is natural for our team to work quietly and to respect the “noble silence” of our guests.
