WHAT IS UNFOLDING POTENTIAL?

A 7-day private retreat experience in Bali.
Blending Ayurvedic wisdom, modern psychology, holistic movement, mindfulness practices, and creative coaching, the programme provides a comprehensive approach to reconnection.

A return to yourself.

  • The daily schedule offers a curated journey rooted in ancient wisdom. Each day features immersive workshops focused on a core life element and three practices that bring
    mind, body, and soul in alignment. 

  • This balance forms the foundation of our program by restoring harmony so true transformation becomes possible. Holistic movement, breathwork, and meditation are thoughtfully combined with Western methods, creative sessions, and cultural expeditions. Journaling, coaching, and free time provide moments to pause, while evening activities and sunrise walks create space for integration.

  • Participants gain more than inspiration.
    They leave with a clear framework for their next chapter.

    Expect profound clarity, courage,
    and insights that shape both inner alignment and outward action.

    You’ll clear your mind, find your compass, release tension, and reclaim energy through powerful practices with like-minded people. 

    From exploring nature and culture to guided inner journeys, every element is designed to deliver measurable transformation, lifelong strategies, and resilience that endures well beyond the retreat.

THE STORY BEHIND
WHY IM CREATING THIS EXPERIENCE

Portrait of Mury Yalcinkaya — founder of the UNFOLDING POTENTIAL retreat — resting his face on his arm at the beach in Bali, with sunlight, ocean waves, and rocks in the background. A calm, introspective moment reflecting transformation, clarity.

I've spent years building global brands and helping others shine,
but somewhere, I lost my own light.

Success without alignment. Beauty without depth.

So I paused. Stepped into silence.
To remember who I am. “ To rebuild myself. ”

This retreat is born from that path I'm walking.
Not as a product but as a lived experience.

I invite you, not as a teacher above you, but as someone beside you.

Someone who knows how hard it can be and how beautiful it becomes when you come back home to yourself.

THE written.by FOUNDATION CAUSE WE BELIEVE GIVING IS RECEIVING

10% OF ALL EVENT PROCEEDS WILL BE DONATED

Children from a local Balinese community were supported through the written.by Foundation — representing the retreat’s commitment to giving back, education, and conscious contribution.

The written.by foundation is how we put our words into action. 

This non-profit arm of our organisation is dedicated to supporting and inspiring vulnerable youth in developing nations. 

We are a company created to consult brands and individuals, supporting them with a holistic, purpose-driven branding and personal-development solutions. Therefore, written.by is built on firm principles of love, compassion, and global gratitude. 

We operate our foundation in-house to ensure that the lowest possible administration costs allow us to direct as much money as we can straight into the lives of young people who need it most. 

Our contributions specifically focus on giving vulnerable and poverty-stricken young people access to athletic and creative resources, such as education in the arts and community-owned sports facilities.

This is because we believe that education fuels aspiration, and in teaching the next generation ways to lift themselves out of difficult circumstances, we can contribute to the long-term development of communities in need.
