What Others Say About Us

“During our two-week trip to Bali in August, we were seeking something meaningful as a family - something beyond the ordinary. Although my husband wasn’t initially drawn to the idea of a retreat, we hoped for a private, authentic, and transformative experience we could share together. At Giri Sunyata, we found exactly what our hearts were looking for. 

From the very first moment, we were embraced with warmth and love that made us feel instantly at home. The energy of this beautiful family radiates authenticity, wisdom, and compassion. They created a sacred space where we, and even our children, aged 12 and 14, felt completely at ease, safe, and connected.

We began with a Day Retreat, a deeply nourishing experience, and concluded our stay with a powerful Fire Ceremony. Both experiences were profoundly moving, guiding us through cleansing, healing, and awakening as a family. We left with a renewed sense of connection, lightness, and clarity that we will carry forward in our daily lives.

What touched us most is that this isn’t offered as a business - it’s a way of life for them. Their devotion is evident in every detail, and simply being in their presence, within the sacred space of their home temple, brings a sense of healing and inspiration.

If you are seeking guidance, light, or a spiritual awakening for yourself or your family, Giri Sunyata is truly the place to be - a sanctuary of love, wisdom, and transformation.”

“After an emotionally challenging year, I felt the need to travel alone to Bali. I wanted to dedicate a part of this journey to spiritual experiences rooted in Balinese and Indonesian traditions. Ubud seemed like the right place, but nowadays it is becoming harder to find practices that remain truly authentic, away from tourism. 

I was fortunate to meet Buddhi and his wife Ratih, who sincerely preserve this real spirit and true traditions. They welcomed me into their home, a place that radiates incredible energy the moment you step inside. I felt like it was a sacred and safe place.

This experience deeply nourished me. I was seeking to reconnect with myself and release some things and thanks to them, I truly got it. 

I am endlessly grateful to have found them and I highly recommend them to anyone in search of authenticity and inner healing.”

"In a world where it’s common to find false gurus and overnight instagram healers, discovering Giri Sunyata was like finding a diamond in the rough in my spiritual journey. First and foremost, they are trustworthy, high-integrity, and competent - a rare combination in the “spiritual marketplace.”  

Jero Buddhi and Jero Ratih are a truly special union blending both Universal teachings and sacred Balinese wisdom, making the experience accessible and relatable, yet mystical and mesmerising. They are an offshoot of their ancestor’s practice “Griya Sunia”, who are very well respected and connected in many of the temples in Bali, providing extra support and credibility in their service.

Perhaps what stood out for me the most is the power of the family unit, all in devotion, and all “living the life” of spiritual practitioners. This isn’t something they just do as a business - this is their life, and simply being around that in their home temple is healing and inspiring in itself. If you are a sincere seeker open to “true healing” and “real Bali”, then I can highly recommend booking a session with Giri Sunyata.   Enjoy your journey :)"

 "Giri Sunyata is my second home, where I found myself and changed completely. There are no words to explain the change that happened within me which affected all my surroundings. I have experienced pure and unconditional love thanks to my soul family. 

The time I spent there was one of the best times of my life because that was a huge turning point that I made. I have understood the theory of god and that is priceless. I recommend anyone to experience the same to transform their past, present and future."

"Jero Buddhi and Jero Ratih give you a feeling of “home.” Without judgement they are able to convey what they “sense”. They provide insights in a loving way so that you can heal as a person if needed. 

I wish everyone such a wonderful experience. It brings you closer to yourself, and that's how you discover who you truly are. It has brought us a lot in our spiritual journey. We are very grateful for that."

"The time I’ve spent in Giri Sunyata was one of the most profound periods in my life. I’ve started this journey during one of the most depressing times in my life and I can honestly say right now that it was a journey from darkness to light. Time in Giri Sunyata was just like a holy time where I can experience divine energy within me deeper than any other time in my life before. The amount of support, healing and guidance I’ve received from the Giri Sunyata team have been priceless. I got mirrored with my own light by them and was able to bravely step into my own individual spiritual path. If I were to describe the experience in its essence I would call it: embodied feeling of unconditional love and embodied divinity.

Their hearts are so pure and they follow a purpose bigger than themselves.. what always inspired me: to surrender to the higher path and let go of my ego desires along the way. I’m forever grateful that I became a student of University of Divine and received so much, that now I’m on the path to support others in finding their way back to light."

"Would you trust some stranger with the most vulnerable, hurt and aching pieces of your soul? Often when searching for healing I’ve met with groups, healers and other kinds of gurus or guides, but in their presence I have always stayed closed and skeptic thereof unable to truly open up. To my surprise and given a chance to witness the magic of existence, honestly also curious, I was brought to the healing hands of Jero Ratih and Jero Buddhi. At their home temple in Denpasar, Bali they supported me in a process long aching to be crystallised and I found I could trust them with exactly that my most vulnerable.

Their traditions, new to me, opened the gates of my soul and allowed me a passage into a soul family, a welcome into a world unknown until now to me. I am thankful to my soul family (still getting used to this) and burning to share with all in search of healing in your mind, body and soul that there are gates and places that still have truth. Jero Buddhi and Jero Ratih are here to help people like me, like you, those searching and willing to engage from the heart. Amidst despair there is hope and sometimes is found in the loving hands of guidance; I am at awe of what life has in store for us if we are willing to connect with our inner wisdom and guides that bring truth and healing into our lives.

Thank you for supporting me in this process."

"Today I spent time with Jero Buddhi and Jero Ratih and their family at their home in Ubud. This experience is hard to put into words. I instantly felt welcomed and safe. We shared deep and very meaningful conversations around spirituality and I felt totally aligned and understood in what I shared with them. 

They understood the essence of me more than I did myself and I have left them feeling more love for myself than ever before in my life. I am truly humbled and grateful for this profound awakening. Wherever you are on your journey, spending time with these kind, generous and genuine people will be invaluable. Thank you from my heart to yours."

Deanne - New Zealand

"There are almost no right words to describe the wonderfully enriching experience that my children and I have experienced under the guidance of Jero Buddhi and Jero Ratih.

They have taken us on a journey inward, in an accessible and appropriate way. It is a moment in time that will be cherished forever. A gift for your life."

Jessica P. - the Netherlands

"Jero Buddhi and Jero Ratih have been an integral part of my spiritual journey and growth. The times I've spent with them in some of the most picturesque and powerful sacred sites, have left a lasting impact on me. Their style of guidance resonates with me and I appreciate how authentic and congruent they are with what they teach. 

Many can claim to be spiritual guides or healers but few actually walk that path. I highly recommend anyone seeking spiritual guidance or those just wanting to gain more knowledge to seek them out."

Belle L. - Malaysia

"Working with Jero Buddhi has literally been eye opening for me.  Despite all my work over the last decade in growth and personal awareness he was very quickly able to take me to a place where I could see the patterns I was still subscribed to, and playing out, within my relationships.  

This has been extremely valuable in becoming aware and then making the commitment to move toward change. Jero Buddhi has a special gift of guiding and a deep understanding of our values and motivations in life.  He most certainly is leading by example in embodying his purpose in living to inspire others. Thank You!"
