Healing doesn't end when you leave.
The retreat plants the seed.
The Continuum tends the garden.
The work you begin at The Place is too important to leave unsupported when you return home. Our Structured Aftercare Programme extends the clinical architecture of your retreat – psychiatric oversight, psychotherapy, and integrative practice – into the weeks and months that follow your stay, with the same rigour and personalisation you experienced in Bali.

The session framework
Your weekly clinical programme
Every week, structured, supervised, and personally calibrated
Each aftercare week is built around five anchoring sessions – held remotely with The Place team and governed throughout by psychiatric and medical oversight. Session notes feed into the clinical review cycle and inform formal progress reports at each milestone.
S1
Psychiatric Oversight Session
Structured session with our in-house psychiatrist - clinical progress review, medication management where applicable, risk monitoring, and care plan adjustment. The same psychiatrist who held your intake assessment in Bali. This is formal psychiatric care - not a check-in.
Held via secure video · clinically documented · feeds into progress report cycle
S2–3
Individual Psychotherapy
Continued psychotherapeutic work in the modality most suited to your clinical profile and stage of healing - with your retreat psychotherapist or a dedicated Place clinician. The depth work begun in Bali continues, building on the therapeutic relationship already established.
With your retreat therapist or dedicated Place clinician · clinically supervised
S4
Integrative Breathwork — Full-Spectrum Breathing
Full-Spectrum Breathing practice - live and guided - to sustain the somatic and nervous system regulation work begun at The Place. The Eastern somatic thread from Bali continues: nervous system regulation, somatic release, and the integration of experiences surfaced during your retreat.
Live-guided via secure video · somatic observations reported to clinical team
S5
Personal Growth · Introspective Development · Core Energetics
One session per week from three pathways depending on your phase of healing - the Eastern inner development practices from The Place, continued remotely.
Personal Growth
Builds life-forward momentum – the way of the heart over the limited dominion of the mind.
Introspective Development
Deepens mindfulness through meditation, Ayurveda, and Tantra – addresses body, mind, and spirit.
Core Energetics
Pathway chosen based on clinical phase · integrative observations feed into clinical review
"Lasting change is not an event. It is a process that requires witnessing, support, and clinical courage over time."
— Jean-Claude Chalmet, Founder · The Place Retreats
Duration tiers
Choose your duration
Five programme lengths - each clinically designed, each psychiatrically governed
3-6 Weeks
Stabilising retreat gains. Re-integrating into daily life with nervous system support and weekly clinical anchoring. The somatic and psychotherapeutic work is held – not left to fade.
9-12 Weeks
Continuing to embed and live the shifts begun in Bali. Patterns addressed in retreat are tested by real life – and held with clinical support. Both Western therapy and Eastern practice continue weekly.
24 Weeks
Transformation that lasts. Sustained, documented change across every domain – with The Place team at your side throughout. For complex trauma, personality patterns, and long-standing dysregulation.
We recommend a minimum of 6 weeks for most guests returning from a retreat stay – and 12 or 24 weeks for those working with complex trauma, personality patterns, or long-standing emotional dysregulation.
Clinical governance
Psychiatric & medical oversight throughout
The same clinical architecture as your retreat - extended into your life at home
The aftercare programme does not operate on goodwill alone. It is governed by the same joint psychiatric and medical oversight that defines care at The Place – with formal progress reporting, clinical observations, and the authority to adapt your programme in real time.
In-House Psychiatrist
Conducts all weekly psychiatric sessions. Holds medical responsibility for the full programme. Issues progress reports and adapts the care plan – the same psychiatrist who held your intake and discharge in Bali.
Clinical Manager (MD)
Co-governs alongside the psychiatrist. Coordinates Western therapists and Eastern practitioners – integrating therapeutic and medical feedback between formal reports.
Psychotherapy Team
Your retreat therapist or aftercare clinician. Session notes feed into the clinical review cycle – nothing operates in isolation. Psychotherapy and psychiatric oversight are one system.
Integrative Practitioners
Breathwork and integrative leads report somatic observations to the clinical team. Embodied responses – how the nervous system is responding week to week – are part of the clinical picture.
Written Progress Reports
Structured clinical documents at each milestone – psychological progress, symptom change, and treatment response across all modalities.
Clinical Observations Log
External Referral Letters
You leave Bali with a discharge letter, a care plan, and a team who knows you. The Continuum means that team does not disappear. Two Medical Doctors remain jointly responsible for your wellbeing – not just available if something goes wrong, but actively, structurally present throughout. Your Western psychotherapy and Eastern somatic practice continue in genuine clinical relationship, governed by the same hands that held your retreat.
