for five days, you get to be the priority.
life gets busy.
somewhere between work, family, responsibilities, being the one people rely on and simply keeping life moving, it's easy for the things that matter to you to slowly move further down the list.
including you.
imagine five whole days all about you, where someone else has organised everything for you.
where you're not planning what's next, working out where to eat, checking times, organising transport, making decisions or making sure everyone else is having a good time.
REWILD | by the ocean is exactly that.
there’s time to slow down, laugh properly, try something new and experience west bali through the people, places and stories that make this part of the island so special.
swim beneath waterfalls. cycle through villages. walk barefoot along the beach. share beautiful food. meet local people and hear their stories. have conversations that stay with you. and spend time with women you may have only just met, but somehow feel completely yourself around.
and when you want some time to yourself, there’s room for that too.
everything has been thoughtfully taken care of, so instead of thinking about what happens next, you can simply be fully in the experience.
you know what gets forgotten when life gets busy?
sometimes, the really simple stuff.
the things that make you laugh until your stomach hurts. the things you're curious about. the things you want to try. the things that get you excited. the things you say yes to just because they sound like fun.
and when you're not the one organising everything, thinking about what's next or making sure everyone else is okay, there's a little more room to notice...
what makes you laugh?
what makes you sing?
what makes you silly?
what makes you fun?
what makes you, you?
REWILD gives you five days to remember.
and maybe that's why i've always believed travel can change so much more than our scenery.
sometimes it's the people we meet. a conversation we didn't expect. seeing how someone else lives. trying something we wouldn't normally try. or simply having enough space away from everyday life to hear what we couldn't hear and see what we couldn't see.
to me, transformational travel is travel that transforms the way we see the world and ourselves in it.
that's the essence that underpins every journey i create.
not because we're going looking for some big transformation, but because when we slow down, experience a place through its people and stories, and give ourselves room to notice...
sometimes we come home seeing things a little differently.
what's included
nothing in REWILD is here just to fill the itinerary.
i’ve experienced it myself, and if it’s made the cut, it’s because i genuinely think it’s worth sharing with you.
there’s enough planned to get you out exploring, trying new things and experiencing west bali... without filling every minute of your day.
because having nothing planned sometimes is part of the plan too.
and all the practical stuff? that's taken care of too.
have a look at what's included ↓
-
from the moment your deposit is paid, you’ll have access to your own private travel hub with everything you need for REWILD in one place.
your itinerary. important dates. what you need to do and when you need to do it. reminders along the way. the correct links for things like your visa and bali entry requirements. plus all the practical information you’ll need before we go.
you’ll have access to your digital itinerary while you travel, and I’ll also have a printed itinerary waiting for you when you arrive.
no searching through old emails. no wondering if you’ve missed something. no googling which link is the right one.
and if you’re unsure about something? ask me.
i’ve got you.
-
from the moment you arrive in bali, we'll take care of getting you where you need to be.
our driver will meet you at the airport and take you directly to puri dajuma on bali's west coast, so there's no navigating taxis, transfers or working out where to go after a long flight.
if you're already enjoying a few days in bali before rewild, we'll collect you from your accommodation in kuta, legian or seminyak instead.
and when our five days together come to an end, your departure transfer is taken care of too.
from arrival to departure, that part is on us.
-
your own private balinese cottage for the entire stay. no sharing. no single supplement.
choose between a deluxe cottage with garden views or a vip cottage with ocean views, depending on what feels right for you.
whichever you choose, it's completely yours. somewhere to close the door, have an afternoon nap, read, take a long shower or simply enjoy some time to yourself between everything we're experiencing together.
because as beautiful as the connection is, having your own space matters too.
-
breakfast, lunch and dinner are all included throughout rewild, with fresh, beautiful food prepared by the team at puri dajuma.
expect plenty of local produce, balinese flavours, fresh fruit, vegetables, herbs and spices, alongside a variety of dishes to enjoy throughout our stay.
mealtimes are relaxed and shared around the table together, often becoming some of those simple moments where the conversation flows, the laughter starts and nobody is in any hurry to leave.
come hungry. the food here is something special.
-
west bali is a different pace, and over our five days together, we'll experience it through the people who live here, the places they know and the stories they share.
many of the team at puri dajuma come from the surrounding villages, and our local guides know this part of bali because it's home.
begin with a traditional balinese welcome, a beautiful introduction to the culture and the place we'll call home for the next five days.
swim beneath waterfalls and cool off in mountain pools.
soak in natural hot springs surrounded by tropical forest.
spend time at a buddhist monastery, slowing everything down for a little while.
cycle through rice fields and local villages, stopping along the way, meeting people and experiencing everyday life in this part of bali.
this isn't about racing around bali ticking places off a list.
it's about travelling slowly enough to notice where you are, meet the people who call it home and have some incredible fun along the way.
-
one whole hour with absolutely nowhere else you need to be.
your 60-minute massage is included and you can choose when you'd like to enjoy it during rewild.
and having experienced these massages myself, i'll just say this...
they are something else.
so switch off, enjoy every minute and don't be surprised if you find yourself booking another one before we leave.
-
rewild isn't about filling every hour of every day.
there'll be beautiful experiences we'll share together, conversations around the table, laughter, simple mindset practices and moments that invite you to slow down and notice what's going on for you.
but there'll also be time that's completely yours.
have a nap. wander along the beach. read your book. swim. book another massage. sit somewhere quietly. or do absolutely nothing without feeling like you should be doing something else.
you'll also have your own private 1:1 mindset reset with jodi. a chance to talk about whatever is happening in your world, get curious about patterns that may be keeping you stuck and leave with practical tools you can actually use when you get home.
because rewild isn't about escaping your life. it's about creating enough space to see it, and yourself in it, a little differently.
-
the support starts from the moment you say yes.
you'll have your own private travel hub with everything you need in one place, including your itinerary, travel information, packing guide and important documents.
as we get closer, i'll let you know what needs to be done and when, and send you the official links for things like visas, entry requirements and anything else you'll need before travelling.
we'll also have a private whatsapp group where you can ask questions, get to know the other women and stay connected in the lead-up to rewild.
and because it's often the smallest things that create unnecessary travel stress, we'll even have a power adaptor ready for you, so that's one less thing to think about or pack.
and if you're wondering about something along the way, you don't have to figure it out alone. just ask.
from saying yes to arriving in bali, you'll always know what's next.
and before you head home, we'll even take care of your laundry, because coming home with a suitcase full of washing isn't quite the ending we had in mind.
-
we travel because people and places welcome us.
we're invited into communities, guided through places people call home and given the opportunity to experience a little of everyday life in bali.
so giving back is built into rewild too.
as part of our journey, contributions are made to local organisations supporting animal welfare, children's education and the protection of bali's rivers and environment.
there's nothing extra you need to donate or organise. it's already taken care of as part of your journey.
because travelling well isn't only about what we get to experience. it's also about how we leave the places that welcomed us.
-
there isn't much you'll need to arrange once rewild begins, but there are a few things that aren't included in your journey:
international flights to and from bali
your indonesian visa and bali tourist levy
travel insurance, which is required to join rewild
additional meals or beverages outside those included in rewild, including alcoholic drinks
additional spa treatments or activities you choose to book
personal shopping and spending money
personal tips for resort staff or housekeeping, should you choose to leave one
everything listed in your rewild inclusions is already taken care of, including your transfers, private room, meals, experiences, local guides, 60-minute massage and community contributions.
rewild is intentionally kept small.
enough women to create beautiful connection, laughter and shared experiences, while still giving you plenty of room to have time to yourself.
choose your place
$3,600 aud pp | deluxe cottage, garden view
or
$3,850 aud pp | vip cottage, ocean view
whichever you choose, your cottage is yours for the entire stay.
no sharing. no single supplement.
five days where everything is organised for you, and you get to be the priority.

how will i know if rewild is right for me?
if you've been saying “i need a break” for longer than you can remember, that's probably a pretty good place to start.
maybe life has been full. work, family, responsibilities, other people needing you, and somewhere in amongst all of that you've been thinking, what about me?
rewild gives you five days where you don't have to be the one organising everything or thinking about everyone else.
there'll be adventure and beautiful local experiences, plenty of laughter, time around the pool and by the ocean, conversations that might get you thinking, and space to disappear for a massage or an afternoon nap if that's what you feel like doing.
you don't need to come because something is wrong or because you need to “work on yourself”.
you can simply come because you're ready to choose yourself for five days.
do i need to come with a friend?
absolutely not. many of the women who join rewild come completely on their own.
that's actually one of the things i love about these journeys. you have the freedom of travelling solo without having to navigate bali alone.
from the moment you say yes, i'll help you with what to book, where to stay if you're arriving early, what needs to be done before you travel and all those little questions that inevitably pop up along the way.
and then you arrive and meet the other women.
somehow, very quickly, the strangers bit disappears. you eat together, laugh together, experience all sorts of things together and those friendships start forming without anyone having to force them.
of course, if you have a friend you'd love to experience rewild with, bring her too. where available, we can even arrange adjoining rooms so you each have your own private space while still being right next door to each other.
what if i've never travelled to bali or joined anything like this before?
then you definitely won't be the first.
on our last rewild, several women were travelling overseas on their own for the first time, some had only recently received their very first passport, and for some it was their first time in bali too.
that's one of the reasons the support starts well before we meet at puri dajuma.
i'll help you through what needs to happen before you leave, where to stay if you're arriving early, your transfers and all the practical bits that can feel overwhelming when you haven't done it before.
once rewild begins, everything on the ground is organised and i'm there with you throughout.
and if you'd like to hear what it was actually like from women who've already done it, have a read through the rewild reviews. their words will probably tell you far more than i ever could.
what do i actually need to organise myself?
not much, but there are a few things that are yours to organise.
you'll book your own flights to bali, arrange your travel insurance and complete the required entry requirements for indonesia.
but you won't be left to work out the practical stuff on your own.
i'll give you the information, links and reminders you need along the way, so you'll know what needs doing and when.
you take care of getting yourself to bali. i'll take care of rewild.
what happens after i book?
once you've said YES and paid your deposit, you won't be left wondering what happens next.
you'll have your own personal travel hub where everything for rewild lives in one place.
i'll let you know what needs to be done and when, including when your instalments are due. i'll send you the correct links for things like your visa and bali entry requirements, remind you when something is coming up, and keep adding the information you'll need as we get closer.
you'll also have your itinerary there, along with all the practical details for your arrival, transfers and our time together.
you don't need to keep a mental list. i'll keep track of it with you.
what's the average age of the women who join rewild?
generally, women joining rewild are somewhere from their late 30s through to their 70s.
but once we're all together, age tends to become completely irrelevant.
it's not what connects everyone.
it's the conversations, the laughter, the curiosity, the shared experiences and that wonderful mix of women who may live completely different lives at home but somehow find themselves sitting around a table in west bali having the best time together.
some women arrive with someone they know. many arrive on their own.
how fit do i need to be?
you don't need to be super fit to join rewild, but i do want to be really clear that some of our experiences are more physically active than others.
our waterfall day involves quite a lot of steps down to the waterfall, which of course means quite a lot of steps coming back up again. we'll also have the opportunity to cycle through villages (the bikes are electric) and spend time walking and exploring.
if one particular activity isn't suitable for you, that doesn't automatically mean rewild isn't.
you may decide that while we're heading down to the waterfall, you're very happy having some extra pool time or booking yourself another massage instead.
if you have mobility concerns, an injury or you're simply wondering whether the activities will suit you, have a chat with me before you book. i'll tell you exactly what's involved and we can work through it together.
what if i have dietary requirements?
that's absolutely fine.
let me know your dietary requirements when you book and i'll make sure the kitchen at puri dajuma has everything before we arrive.
if you have a serious allergy or something particularly specific, have a chat with me and i'll check directly with the team so you know exactly what's possible.
can i arrive early or stay longer in bali?
absolutely. arrive a few days early, stay on afterwards or build rewild into a longer bali adventure.
and if you're not sure where to stay, how to get somewhere or what might work around your flights, ask me. i'm always happy to share recommendations and help you work out the easiest option.
if you're already in bali before rewild, we can collect you from kuta, legian or seminyak on the day we begin.
when does rewild start + finish?
rewild begins at 4.00 pm on sunday 30 may 2027.
check-in at puri dajuma is from 2.00 pm, which gives you time to arrive, settle into your room, unpack, have a wander and take in where you are before we come together for the first time.
we finish at 12.00 pm on thursday 3 june 2027, with departure transfers arranged from there.
can i fly home on the day rewild finishes?
yes, but please keep in mind that puri dajuma is in west bali and the drive to the airport can take around two and a half hours or more depending on traffic.
you'll also need to allow the recommended check-in time for an international flight.
so before you lock in a flight for that afternoon or evening, send it through to me and i'll help you make sure you've allowed plenty of time.
the last thing we want after five beautiful slow days is a mad dash to the airport.
what about alcohol?
rewild isn't alcohol-free, but it is intentionally a low-alcohol kind of experience.
if you'd like a wine with dinner or a cocktail by the pool, absolutely. that's completely your choice. alcoholic drinks aren't included, so anything you order will simply be added to your own account.
what rewild isn't is a drinking holiday.
the feel of our five days is relaxed, present, connected and fun, and alcohol simply isn't at the centre of that.
who will be looking after us in bali?
me - jodi.
i'm with you throughout rewild, from our first afternoon together until we say goodbye on our final day.
i've personally researched, experienced and coordinated rewild, and while we're there i'm supported by the incredible team at puri dajuma and the local guides who take us out into west bali.
one of the reasons i've chosen to return to puri dajuma is the people. many of the team come from the surrounding village and some have been there since puri dajuma first began. that connection to the local community, culture and this part of bali is incredibly special.
i've travelled to bali more than 30 times and have been travelling internationally since my first backpacking adventure to timor when i was 17. these days you'll find me researching journeys through places like vietnam, india and indonesia, often going first so i know the people, places and experiences before i bring guests with me.
and rest assured, i also have the appropriate facilitator visa to legally host and facilitate rewild in bali.
what if i want to chat before i book?
please do. i love these chats.
bring your questions. ask me about the rooms, the activities, coming on your own, flights, arriving early, what the other women are like, or anything else you're wondering about.
click the chat first button and choose a time that works for you, or send me a whatsapp message on +61 488 488 266.
sometimes it's just nice to meet the person you're thinking about spending 5 days with.
