An elemental journey with horses, jungle, and the ancient power of Borobudur
There are places in the world that do not merely welcome you. They initiate you. Java is one of them.
Where the desert teaches spaciousness and stillness, the jungle teaches something different: abundance,
aliveness, the unstoppable force of life renewing itself. Roots that hold. Water that flows.
Green that rises, again and again, without effort.
The Java Spirit Retreat is an immersive 9-day journey into the heart of that aliveness — guided through the Soul SPARCK Method, with horses as mirrors, the elements as teachers, and the ancient stones of Borobudur holding the field.
Rooted in embodiment practises, systemic awareness, and shamanic guidance, the Soul SPARCK Method invites a return to your inner rhythm—where body, emotion, and soul begin to move in alignment.
Each day, we enter a different element. Each element invites a different quality of soul: the grounded power of earth, the flowing truth of water, the transforming heat of fire, the liberating
spaciousness of air. Together, they form a complete inner journey — from what is held and heavy,
to what is free and fully alive.
This is not a wellness holiday. It is an initiation into your own nature.
My intention is simple: to create the space in which you can embrace the fullness of your heart — and allow your next inspired step to rise from that deep inner knowing.
Let the jungle, the horses and the wisdom of Borobudur take you on an unforgettable journey.
This is for you if....
-
You are ready to nourish your soul — not push, not perform, but genuinely receive the abundance that life is offering.
-
You feel called to let the horses guide you into a deeper truth — one your mind has been circling but hasn't yet landed.

ELEMENTAL JOURNEY
Where the desert invites you into spaciousness and stillness — a vast, open emptiness that clears what is not yours — the jungle asks something different of you.
It asks you to receive. To let the green nourish you. To let the water move through you. To feel the fire of transformation in your chest and the open sky above you holding it all.
In the Java Spirit Retreat, each day opens with a different element — not as a concept, but as a lived encounter. The horses, the land, and the Soul Sparck practices meet you inside each one.
Earth grounds you in what is real, what endures, what is yours to stand on. Water invites release, flow, and the trust that you do not have to force your way. Fire calls forward the truth that wants to burn bright, no longer dimmed. Air opens what has been held — and offers the freedom of what becomes possible when you let go. Together, they move you through a complete inner cycle — from rooted, through released, through ignited, into open. This is the Soul Sparck Method, held in one of the most alive places on earth.
ITINERARY
Day 1: (NOV 21) - ARRIVAL- Havana Horses FB.
You arrive into a serene, intimate Indonesian setting, held by nature and simplicity.
This day is about arriving gently—into the space, the group, and most importantly, into yourself.
In the evening, we open the field with a welcoming circle, grounding practices, and a first connection to your intention for the journey.
Day 2: (NOV 22) - EARTH & GROUNDING - Horse Alchemy.
We begin with the element of Earth—grounding, presence, and connection to
the body. Through guided embodiment practices and your first encounter with the horses, you start to sense what is truly present beneath the surface.
The horses meet you beyond words—inviting honesty, awareness, and a return to your natural state.
Day 3: (NOV 23) - FIRE & TRUTH- Horse Alchemy.
We move into the element of Fire—energy, transformation, and inner truth.
Through guided wellness processes and deeper work with the horses, you begin to activate your life force, meet what wants to move, and step into a more authentic
expression of yourself. Fire brings clarity, courage, and the willingness to
see what is ready to shift.
Day 4: (NOV 24) - WATER & FLOW - Visit waterfall.
The element of Water invites emotional release, softness, and flow.
We journey to a sacred waterfall, where nature supports the process of letting go—of what has been held, carried, or controlled. This is a day of cleansing, opening, and allowing your inner world to move freely.
Day 5: (NOV 25 ) - AIR & EXPANSION - Borobudur
We enter the element of Air—spaciousness, awareness, and connection to spirit.
At Borobudur, surrounded by ancient wisdom and vast perspective, you are
invited to rise above the personal story and connect to a deeper sense of meaning and possibility. Clarity emerges as the mind softens and the heart opens.
Day 6: (NOV 26 ) - HEART & INTEGRATION - Horse Alchemy
We return to the horses for a day of integration and alignment.
Here, the experiences of the previous days begin to settle into the body. What has been seen, felt, and released becomes more grounded and tangible.
Through gentle guidance, you anchor a new way of being—more connected, present, and aligned with your truth.
Day 7: (NOV 27 ) - TRANSITION & BEAUTY- Karimunjawa
We shift into a new rhythm as we travel to a tropical island paradise.
The energy softens. The pace slows.
This is a day of transition—from inner work into spacious integration.
Day 8: (NOV 28 ) - INTEGRATION & JOY- Karimunjawa
Surrounded by ocean, light, and openness, you are invited to simply be.
Optional practices, gentle rituals, and time in nature support the integration of your journey. There is nothing to achieve—only to feel, rest, and allow.
Day 9: (NOV 29) - CARRY THE SPARK- Departure
You leave with more than memories. You leave with a deeper connection to your body, your truth, and your path. The invitation is simple:
to carry this presence into your life
and to keep the spark alive.
EXPERIENCE ABUNDANCE
-
BE COURAGEOUS – Meet what is with honesty and presence — and stand in the truth that opens the way for life to move through you
-
BE CURIOUS – Listen beneath the surface — to the patterns, the signals, the deeper why — and allow meaning to reveal itself in its own time.
-
BE CONFIDENT – Trust the movement within — and step forward into what is calling you, even before the path is
fully clear.
HORSE ALCHEMY
Systemic Rituals with the Herd
Experience systemic coaching with the herd as your leading spirit guides. Together, we create a constellation in the paddock and explore themes such as balancing the Feminine and Masculine energies, connecting with our Ancestral Field, and navigating Attachment versus Authenticity.
“Reflect in nature - with the elements, rocks and horses”
Based on the collective input of the group, we co-create a ritual that facilitates a shift in consciousness and a healing movement for the client. This process allows for old stories to dissolve, lost soul parts to be embraced, stuck energy to be released, and identity to be transformed. As a result, you gain more manifesting power to direct towards your authentic visions.
THE GIFTS OF THE JUNGLE
ABUNDANCE - Life so dense and generous it dissolves the story of not-enough. The jungle does not withhold.
FLOW - Water finding its way through every obstacle. A reminder that ease is not weakness — it is wisdom.
VITALITY - Raw green life force — the energy that rises in every seed without permission. Your body remembers this.
DEPTH - Layers upon layers — canopy, understorey, root. A mirror for everything in you that is still waiting to be discovered.
SACRED FREQUENCY - Ancient, alive, and always present. Java carries the memory of those who came here to awaken — and that memory is still in the ground.

About Anna
YOUR HOST AT HAVANA HORSES
Anna left a fast-paced life in Amsterdam to follow a deeper calling in Indonesia, where she co-founded Havana Horses—a natural horse sanctuary and school in Central Java.
For over 20 years, she has been devoted to creating a space where horses can truly live as horses: in herds, barefoot, and free from force. Her work is guided by a simple yet powerful belief—when we respect and honour the horse, we learn to respect and honour life itself.
Anna’s passion is to contribute to a more conscious, compassionate world—for horses, for people, and for all living beings. Through her presence and work, she invites a return to awareness, connection, and harmony with nature.
The horses, and the peaceful rhythm of the land, remind us how to come back to ourselves—grounded, open, and in sync with life.
