Press Release Body:
Zen resorts' secluded location and pristine nature is idyllic to appreciate and
connect with the nature's elemental forces, the sky, earth, air, water and fire,
which according to Vedic understanding account for all Creation and provide the
hidden natural powers to balance our energy and mobilize the natural processes to
heal ourselves and achieve inner peace, realize contentment in life and living and
thus experience the Divine.

The Bali Surya retreat is designed to relax, heal and rejuvenate the body, mind,
heart and soul. Through out the day, the resorts' soothing and inspiring music and
Sanskrit chants will help you to gently detach from your personal concerns and
worries.

The daily retreat program begins with sunrise Surya meditation and a morning of yoga
and time for eco-forest walks, rice field trekking, along a secluded beach or simply
slumbering in a hammock or on a sun-bed getting a tan while reading and thinking of
personal resolutions to change course for a more sustainable and satisfying life
style and living

At noon there is an hour of Surya meditation and water exercises in the infinity
pool merging with the rice field terraces and the sea horizon beyond. The early
afternoon is devoted to satsangs and seminar discussions as well as personal Sai
Shakti healing consultations with Swathimaa and Raymond. In the late afternoon it is
time for ayuvredic consultation and treatments designed according to each
individual's personal constitution and health assessment. Following dinner under the
stars, the retreat group gathers around a cozy fire for an evening of singing and
chanting to relax for a night of deep sleep.

Zen Resort's unique design, serenity, spirituality and the wellness enhancing
environment makes for idyllic location for this retreat to heal, relax and recharge.
Next to the resort are the cave ruins of an ancient temple and 200 meters away on
the beach are a temple dedicated to the Goddess of the Sea and another to the moon.
Religious and spiritual leaders, who have visited Zen Resort and also many guests,
have described the resort's tree tops meditation deck on the northern sea view side
as one of the most spiritual and intensive energy sites they have ever encountered.

The architecture throughout the resort is traditional Balinese with each building
resembling a Balinese temple. The fourteen air-conditioned sea view villas look out
onto verdant landscape and down to the sea with sunset and sunrise views. Each of
the villas includes an elegantly furnished double bedroom with a private terrace and
a parlor leading to an open air designer garden bathroom. There are also two temples
at the resort for private prayer and where guest blessing and spiritual Balinese
ceremonies are regularly held.

There are three serene venues for meditation and yoga at Zen Resort, namely a 120 sq
meters pavilion surrounded by landscaped tropical gardens and a sunrise tree tops
center and a sunset deck overlooking rice fields, vineyards and natural forest with
wide open views of the Sea of Bali. The resort's resident certified yoga master Sri
Suresh organizes daily yoga sessions including a range of techniques such as Ashanta
Yoga and meditation training

The ayurveda spa at the resort offers over 30 authentic ayurvedic healing and
wellness treatments as well as traditional Balinese treatments, rejuvenating herbal
and floral baths and beauty treatments by qualified professionals from Kerala, India
together with a team of trained Balinese therapists..

Zen Resort's specialist chefs present a variety of nutritious dishes featuring
Asian, European and Ayurvedic vegetarian cuisine as well as catering for individual
dietary requirements. All meals are served in the tropical gardens with spectacular
views of the Sea of Bali abound with traditional fishing boats.

An hour's nature walk from the resort under the guidance of the resort's expert on
indigenous flora and fauna through an eco-forest and across rice fields and tropical
plantations leads to Banjar Natural Hot Springs for a rejuvenating bath and on to
the 6th Century Vihara Buddhist temple where the resident monks are happy to
organize meditation sessions.

Just a 200 meters walk along a paved pathway with vineyards on one side and rice
fields on the other leads to the secluded Puri Jati seashore with one of the world's
richest micro marine environment to snorkel and dive and a place to take off at dawn
for a sunrise dolphin sail. Also an hour's drive from the resort there is
spectacular scuba diving at Menjangan Island. Both these locations offer
opportunities to experience undisturbed harmony with the beauty and biological
richness of the underwater world.

There will also be ample opportunity for guided visits to local villages to
experience Balinese culture, the unique community way of life and ceremonial
traditions that makes Bali truly an Island of the Gods.

Zen Resort Bali is honored to host Swathimaa and Raymond Prohs's Bali Surya
Meditation and Ayurveda Retreat and very much appreciate their dedication and
contribution of their deep knowledge and practicality towards healing and enhancing
physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing that is so critically important in our
world of increasing stress and strains of everyday life and living.
