The Retreat

At the heart of Barbara's philosophy is a simple belief:

“The body is designed to heal when given the right conditions.”

There's a difference between learning about health and having the time and space to truly put those principles into practice.

Over eight immersive days, experience Barbara O'Neill's health teachings and the programme established at Misty Mountain, brought to the beautiful surroundings of Ubud, Bali. Each day follows a considered rhythm of education, nourishing meals, practical cooking demonstrations, quiet morning routines and time to rest, reflect and absorb what you're learning.

The retreat explores the foundations that support this through the nine pillars of Barbara O'Neill's Sustain Me:

  • Sunshine
  • Use of Water
  • Sleep
  • Trust in Divine Power
  • Abstain
  • Inhale
  • Nutrition
  • Moderation
  • Exercise

Barbara O'Neill's introduction to natural health began the way it does for many parents: with a sick child, and a search for answers beyond what she was being told. That search shaped the next four decades of her life.

She trained in naturopathy and nutrition through the 1990s and early 2000s, but it's lived experience that built her following — she raised eight children on the same principles she now teaches, long before she ever stood on a stage. In 2003, she and her husband Michael founded Misty Mountain Lifestyle Retreat in rural New South Wales — the retreat model this experience is built on.

Since then, Barbara has become one of the most widely recognised names in natural health education, her lectures shared across YouTube, television, books and international speaking tours, reaching millions of people across dozens of countries. Her teaching rests on eight simple, practical pillars: Rest, Nutrition, Hydration, Sunshine, Fresh Air, Exercise, Moderation, and Trust in God. It's a framework, not a fad — the same one she's taught, and lived, for over 30 years. This retreat exists because people don't just want to hear Barbara's teachings. They want to live inside them, even if only for eight days — which is exactly what Misty Mountain has offered guests for over two decades, and what this retreat now brings to Bali.

The Experience

Nothing is rushed, and every part of the programme has a purpose.

Every day follows a natural rhythm, from quiet morning routines and guided sessions on nutrition and lifestyle to nourishing meals, hands-on cooking demonstrations, treatments and activities. There is also plenty of time to rest, reflect and take everything in. The aim is for guests to leave feeling genuinely different, with more energy, a calmer mind, better sleep and a body that feels lighter and more capable. Whether you're feeling tired, run down, recovering from a period of poor health or simply in need of a reset, this retreat is designed to give your body the time, nourishment and support it needs to restore and recharge.

Through a considered balance of nutrition, movement, rest and stress management, the programme helps support your body's natural defences and overall wellbeing, leaving you better equipped to manage the demands of everyday life. Guests leave with practical, sustainable habits they can carry with them long after their time in Bali.
