Welcome to Your Turning Point

 

The world moves at a relentless pace, and often, our souls are left trailing behind. At Garrya Bianti Yogyakarta, we believe true luxury is not defined by what we possess, but by the stillness we discover within.

 

What is “Hening Jiwa”?

“Hening Jiwa” is a curated 3-day, 2-night narrative of healing. It is a spiritual pilgrimage designed to help you detach from the external noise and rediscover the body’s natural flow.

 

The Purpose

To provide a safe space for you to simply pause, breathe, and restore, distant from the demands of the outer world.

 

The Benefit

Expect a recalibration of the nervous system, newfound mental clarity, and a sense of wholeness that stays with you long after you leave our grounds.

What Our Bodies Truly Crave

 

Before we begin, let us ask: “What does your body actually need right now?”

In our digital age, we often live in a constant state of survival. At a cellular level, your body is yearning for:

  • Silence: To lower cortisol levels and quiet the mind.
  • Earthing: To balance the body’s energy through a direct connection with nature.
  • A slower pace: To allow your metabolism and spirit the grace of total rest.

The Three Stages of Renewal

Day 1: SWAPNA

The Arrival of Dream

 

In Sanskrit, “Swapna” means “dream”. The first day is dedicated to transition. As you step into our serene haven, we invite you to shed your worldly identity and enter the space between reality and tranquility. This is the phase of surrender, preparing the heart to receive healing.

Day 2: SUKMA PRANA BUMI

Reconnecting with Mother Earth

 

The second day is the core of your transformation. “Sukma” (Soul), “Prana” (Life Force/Breath), and “Bumi” (Earth). Today, we align our breathing with the frequency of the wild. Through mindful movement and creative connection with nature, we learn that the best healing happens when we return to the source.

Day 3: SASMITA

Embracing Inner Wisdom

 

“Sasmita” represents an intuitive hint or inner wisdom. On your final day, before returning to the world, we celebrate the subtle realization you have uncovered. It is a moment to anchor the “signals” of peace within your heart, carrying them as a compass for the journey ahead.

Mindful Nourishment

 

We often forget that what we put into our bodies is an act of love. Here, dining is not just a daily routine; it is an extension of your wellness journey. Every single ingredient we place on your plate has been chosen with intention, because we know that true realignment happens from the inside out. What you consume during these three days will guide the energy flowing within you.

Your morning eggs come from a cage-free farm run by the three women-led farmers' communities that are fostered by Garrya Bianti Yogyakarta. By sourcing our produce from these neighboring communities, the food we serve carries the pure happiness from hens.

Our Executive Chef Edy Santoso, has curated a selection of mindful set menus designed to cradle your body through this transition. The purpose is not to fill you up, but to elevate your vibration, restore your vitality, and return you home feeling beautifully whole.

Is the "Hening Jiwa" package suitable for solo travelers and the sessions private?

Yes, we deeply welcome solo seekers looking for a self-healing journey. While our default luxury wellness retreat inclusions are tailored for two persons, the entire narrative from the traditional rituals to the sessions can be personalized exclusively for a single occupant. All activities, including the Ethnic Music Yoga, Meditation, and Eco-Pounding, are mindfully curated to ensure an intimate, serene experience. We can tailor the package to single occupancy, and please kindly contact our reservations via email: reservations-biantiyogyakarta@garrya.com.

What kind of mindful dining experience at Refresh All-day Dining is included in this package?

In line with our commitment to regenerative hospitality, these dishes showcase fresh local produce and cage-free eggs sourced directly from our fostered KWT community farms. 

 

Daily breakfast for two is also included throughout your 3D2N stay. Should you wish to enhance your realignment journey with additional lunches or dinners, our team will gladly accommodate you on an additional basis. Please inform if you have any dietary requirements, allergies, or vegan preferences.

Which villa category is highly recommended for the best wellness experiences?

The "Hening Jiwa" wellness retreat is available for Sunset View Villa, Pool View Villa, and River View Villa. For the ultimate immersion into silence and balance, we highly recommend booking the River View Villa. The organic sound of the river acts as a natural sound healing mechanism by elevating your Swapna. Sukma Prana Bumi, and Sasmita renewal stages. 

What is the prepayment and cancellation policy for this wellness offer?
