The Healing Journey
Amanwana, Moyo Island, Indonesia. Six days of ancient healing traditions, by appointment, mid-October to mid-December 2026.
The immersion
A six-day immersion into the ancient wisdom of Indonesia's healing traditions, held within the pristine sanctuary of Moyo Island.
Curated by Silver Linings Wellbeing's founder, Chrissy Sundt Dolan, and guided on the shores of Amanwana by the revered local healer Frendy Dewanta, the journey unfolds through sacred blessing ceremonies, ancestral healing rituals, bonfire meditations and water energy healing: practices that have tended to the human spirit long before any contemporary approach.
These are healing traditions built on centuries of understanding the body and mind, offering a depth of restoration that modern wellness rarely reaches.
Nutrition is integral throughout, with bespoke menus crafted in collaboration with nutritionist Clarissa Lenherr and Amanwana's Executive Chef, celebrating local, vibrant flavours and giving your body exactly the support it needs to thrive.
Each journey is tailored to your individual wellness goals, with healing at its centre. A considered, immersive experience designed around what you need most, so you leave feeling genuinely restored, body and spirit alike.
The journey
This restoration is held within Silver Linings' five pillars of wellbeing: Sleep, Nutrition, Connection, Rest & Illumination, and Mindful Movement. On the shores of Moyo Island they guide the practices that carry you through this healing immersion, which unfolds through the classic Indonesian healing journey:
- Transformative bonfire ceremony (Permisi)
- Rhythmic ocean meditation
- Ancestral sound healing
- Spiritual Melukat waterfall cleansing
- Earth meditation
- Sacred and ancient Pranayama (yogic breathwork)
- Shamanic wisdom and ancient rhythms

Your journey pillars
The rhythms of sacred alignment and restoration.
Sleep
Sleep is where the healing consolidates. Away from the mental clutter, the body finds its own rhythm again: undisturbed, unhurried, and finally restorative.
Nutrition
Every meal is structural support, not indulgence. Crafted by our own nutritional specialist, Clarissa Lenherr, each dish gives the body precisely what it needs to restore.
Connection
To land, to water, to lineage, and to the people beside you. Connection is built through shared ritual: bonfire meditations, blessing ceremonies, and the quiet company of others walking the same path.
Rest & Illumination
True rest is more than sleep. It is the unhurried hours that allow the mind to settle and the spirit to surface. On Moyo, rest becomes a practice in its own right, held by the wilderness and the rhythm of the tide.
Mindful Movement
Movement here follows the rhythm of stillness. A slow morning in the ocean, letting your body rest and your thoughts quiet, and a Pranayama moment with Frendy, blending sacred breathwork with timeless rituals.
Your sanctuary
Your immersion into a world of understated luxury, natural light and total stillness begins the moment you settle in.
Your sanctuary is the Ocean Tent: perched on the shoreline, open to the rhythm of the waves, where the sea becomes your soundtrack and the horizon your view. More than accommodation, this is a personal haven of comfort. The boundaries dissolve, and the forest, sea and sky become your walls.

An Aman representative will welcome you upon landing. From there, a 45-minute crossing over the Flores Sea follows, where the island gradually unveils itself, framed by endless open water.

For a swift and scenic arrival, private helicopter transfers can be seamlessly arranged from Bali through the Amanwana concierge team.
Bespoke coordination
We are here to seamlessly orchestrate every detail of the journey, aligning your arrival schedules, custom wellness itinerary, dietary requirements and welcoming rituals.
From our guests
Words from guests on our previous retreats.
I had the most wonderful week in Kamalame. Getting strong and healthy in the most heavenly of settings. Classes were challenging but well balanced, with a mixture of Yoga, Barre, Pilates and stretching. I finally learned the proper techniques thanks to our incredibly skilled team of teachers. The food was absolutely delicious, organically grown and locally sourced. I already miss the Bahamian welcome and warmth and highly recommend spending a week with SLR on this gem of an island.
What an incredible week: amazing classes, delicious food and the most beautiful location. Feeling totally relaxed and restored!
I had one of the most restful and regenerative times of my life! This magical island and resort seems like it's out of this world, the classes were of the highest quality.
