Where we work.
Aureum runs contemplative programming at partner properties in Bali under the RASA banner. Those partnerships are the proof of concept for everything on the consultancy and retreats pages, and they are where the operating model was built rather than theorised.
Akasha NewEarth Haven
A conscious hospitality property in Ubud with the two things contemplative work actually needs: rooms that hold silence, and a team already used to guests who came for something other than a pool. Aureum programmes wellness experiences and retreats here.

A working model, ready to extend.
Both partnerships run under our most demanding discipline. Every other format on the retreats page applies the same operating model to a lighter subject, which is a smaller ask rather than a larger one.
The model transfers
Property study, programme design, facilitator sourcing, delivery. The sequence does not change when the theme changes from silence to longevity.
The network is real
Recurring retreats mean facilitators who have worked with us repeatedly and know how we brief, which is what makes a new property's first retreat survivable.
The demanding case works
Silent retreat is the format with the least margin for error. A property that can host one can host anything else in the range.
The first year.
Roughly how a new property moves from first conversation to a running calendar. Exact timing depends on your season and how much your own team carries.
Study and strategy
We visit, walk the property, meet the team, look at your booking data and your quiet months, then write the wellness strategy and the retreat portfolio plan.
First retreat produced
One retreat, designed to the property, staffed, priced, marketed, and put on sale. Small enough to be a real test rather than a bet.
Calendar begins
Daily and weekly programming starts running between retreats, so wellness is present in the building on ordinary nights and not only on retreat weeks.
Season and review
Flagship retreats repeat, the format that worked is scaled, the one that did not is cut, and we decide together whether the programme becomes permanent.
Your property could be the third.
We take on a small number of properties at a time, because the delivery model depends on being present rather than licensed out.
