i'm planning on going to bali for a month (next month!)....hoping to do much relaxing and wandering around on foot...with some occasional touristy activity...but really hoping to find a fair amount of quiet. but thinking...maybe i could use some extra super quiet. does anyone know of meditation retreats on bali or lombok...or other places that are not too difficult to reach from bali? and not super duper expensive ideally. and silent would be great! i've searched the internet a bit and found some $1000 spa type hotel meditation retreat thingers. oof.
i have heard that there is one buddhist monastery on bali and sometimes they let people stay there....would that be a go there and visit and ask in person sort of thing? or a phone call?
though i guess....a nice quiet place will do...with nice paths to wander on foot nearby....so miscellaneous recommendations of places to stay for a few days to be quiet and wander would be helpful too.
thanks...

Re: meditation retreats on bali (and surrounding areas...)
Tue, January 15, 2008 - 7:39 AMCheck out www.balispirit.com/ for info. I spent the Christmas holidays in Ubud and never found a medition class or event, however, the town was so cool I just enjoyed walking around. Made a video of my stay that you can find on my profile: people.tribe.net/paulmcd or at YouTube at: www.youtube.com/watch
