What is the Uluwatu vision really about?

I'll start with the core belief behind 8AM Uluwatu:

If you receive a vision, you must follow it – no matter how scary or crazy it seems.

The origin…

Earlier this year, my life literally burned to the ground.

The Palisades fires took my neighborhood. Everything I owned became toxic.

I took a corporate job in New York for the first time in nine years.

And then, three months in, visions started flooding my brain.

Monks walking up stone steps. Gyms built into nature. People eating organic food around long tables. Philosophical conversations. A creative sanctuary.

I was so electrified, I couldn't sleep. I ran the images through AI just to see them.

The original vision ^ created in March 2025 ^

Weeks after creating this, I flew to Bali – and the visions started manifesting in front of my eyes. The stairs. The cliffside villa. The gym. One by one, the frames aligned with what I'd seen.

We even threw a party that looked like the original vision from my ai vision video.

8AM Uluwatu is that vision made totally real.

Twenty-one cliffside villas. Seventy-two brilliant people. Six days. One container designed for alignment, creation, and connection.

The purpose: remember who you were before the world told you who to be.

What is it?

8AM Uluwatu is a six-day immersion in Uluwatu, Bali. October 2026. Seventy-two founders and creatives living together across twenty-one connected cliffside villas overlooking the ocean – functioning as a single, contained village for the full duration.

Mornings begin screen-free. 7:00–8:00 AM meditation with monks on the property – connecting inward to the deepest part of your being to start the day.

Then we move into creative block #1. Different villas will be assigned to different flows: music production rooms, whiteboard strategy zones, hackathon spaces. We'll interview every participant beforehand – if you grew up playing drums, there will be a drum set. If you paint, there will supplies.

Whatever it takes to transport you to an environment totally designed for you to exercise your creativity to the fullest.

At noon we’ll have a late morning, slow breakfast – fresh fruit, coffee, organic food designed for clarity and sustained energy. Afternoons will be for the body at a state of the art indoor/outdoor gym. Sauna. Cold plunge. Even surfing or massage on request.

Around 2pm begins creative block #2, post meal, post movement, allowing nature and the creative air to let your ideas run free in whatever room suits your skill or vision.

At 7pm - dinner time and long, honest conversation discussing what everyone is working on, problem solving, vibing.

The final day will close with music – DJs and a communal celebration.

Who This Is For:

  1. People with exceptional drive who want to sharpen their vision.

  2. People who've built a lot but feel creatively dead.

You arrive unclear and leave renewed with a vision so sharp you can't sleep.

We are looking for 5 more committed attendees by January 1st.
