THE LOCATION
Lombok Island
There is truly no place like Lombok Island to connect back to the natural world. Lombok has emerged as a prime destination for hosting retreats focused on yoga, wellness, surfing and adventure. Often referred to as the "Island of Peace," it owes its reputation to the stunning and untouched natural landscapes, serene ambiance, and rich cultural heritage.
With exploration & adventure at the forefront of this Retreat, we have also included a Day Trip on a private boat to the infamous Gili islands! Think white sand beaches, palm trees, snorkelling with schools of fish and lots of Turtles.
For 8 days you will have the jungle at your doorstep, be just a 10 minute scooter from the Ocean and only a short walk away from the local village. We can assure you, you’ll have all the magic of this beautiful island to soak up during your stay.
OUR RETREAT HOME
A Boutique Jungle Hotel
For this experience we have reserved 18 of 22 rooms at a lush Hotel in Kuta Lombok. Each of the 3 types of rooms are individually designed to embrace the charm of the exotic environment, with comfy beds and block out blinds to assure a peaceful night sleep.
The rooftop yoga terrace has breathtaking views of the wild jungle & mountains, the perfect backdrop for our workshops and classes. Imagine being guided though yin with a view of the sunset & meditating with the sunrise.
On this retreat you will be totally immersed in the vibrant nature of Lombok, but with all the necessary comforts needed to help you completely rest and restore.
It’s truly paradise and we are so excited to meet you there.

JARRAH VOLPE
☼ Capricorn ☾ Scorpio ↗ Aries
Meditation guide
Breathwork Facilitator Comedic ReliefJarrah, a storyteller who believes in the art of narrative and our power to rewrite our own stories. Once upon a time, Jarrah felt he could be doing more with his life than selling dreams he’d rather wake up from. So, he packed his bags and embarked on a year-long journey through Southeast Asia to find himself. Classic. He explored meditation, yoga, and breathwork—everything you’d find in a spiritual handbook. But where he truly found home was paradoxically working at an orphanage in Thailand. The children there, embodying profound presence and joy, taught Jarrah the power of connection, the richness of the present moment, and how our stories shape our reality.
Since his return, Jarrah has committed himself to helping people find that connection and take control of their own stories. He’s worked with organizations like The Man Cave and Movember, helping over 6,000 boys and men break limiting narratives. He has also facilitated community events that connect people to the shared human experience. Jarrah is honored to offer this service to you at The Inner Temple Retreat.

Testimonials
“I spontaneously attended a pop up class with Taylor and Georgia in Puerto Escondido. The energy I felt after the class told me it was the right thing for me to go on their Transcendence Retreat, and I'm so glad I did! Thank you for creating this wonderful experience for all of us. And thank you for doing it in a way that is so natural to who you are and not putting up masks.”

“The Cosmic Serpent retreat is as unique as retreats come. It dives deeper than your normal yoga retreat, it's much more than that. It was an experience I couldn't even imagine and still can't quite describe to this day. The people who were naturally draw to this event were such an eclectic group, all looking for the same thing; spiritual guidance. The Hunter sisters successfully helped everyone find this spiritual connection. Cosmic Serpent was a safe place for everyone to be vulnerable and search deep within themselves. Everyone came to the island believing they were strangers, only to leave realising how connected we truly were. Family. Whether or not if you're a believer of spirituality, astrology, or any of those things. I guarantee you'll leave Cosmic Serpent feeling a sort of way that no words will ever be able to describe. You have to experience it for yourself.”

“The Cosmic Serpent retreat was exactly what I needed after 5 years at a faced paced tech startup. The location, people, and yoga were nothing short of incredible. Experiencing Taylor & Georgia’s classes (and playlists!) in the jungle was truly special. The Yin classes were the perfect way to end each day and left me feeling relaxed and recharged. The photo shoot with Georgia was also so fun and was a great way to capture the energy I felt at Xinalani. The whole experience was one I’ll never forget and highly recommend! Thank you!”

“I have very rarely felt such a calling to anything in my life as I did to the Transcendence Retreat. The environment and experiences Taylor and Georgia created were truely magical. A time of deep exploration, connection and what I can only describe as blissful oneness. It has been a huge catalyst for change in my life, and has enabled me to begin on a path of alignment and fulfilment that I had never expected. I cannot thank these truely magical souls enough for bringing us all together and am so grateful for the time we had together”

“Taylor and Georgia truly cultivate a portal to transformation and release. Their yin and yang energies balance each other perfectly and come together to create an incredible energy and container to show up as your most authentic self. The level of connection that's fostered at the retreat is otherworldly and deeply authentic. They are both serving their unique divine medicine through movement, human design, and astrology. Georgia and Taylor have come together to create an experience where heaven and earth collide, and my soul could not be more free. I feel revitalised, seen, held, and deeply in touch with my inner worlds. Thank you, thank you, thank you. This was the medicine I needed so badly without even realising it.”
