2026 NEW YEAR RESIDENCY
Cross the Year Fully Alive
Three weeks of power, pleasure, and purpose with a hand-curated tribe of world-class misfits.
Can't make this one?
The three weeks that anchor your most alive year yet.
Imagine living with 24 extraordinary, multidimensional humans in the paradise of Bali. Think artists, founders, teachers, healers, tantrikas, technologists, and experts in their fields. In a container that creates the conditions for us to be fully expressed.
World-class misfits who pour their hearts out in a cuddle puddle. Blow your mind with an unofficial Ted talk over breakfast. Get down with you on the dance floor and remind you that you're not too much and you can have it all.
Over three weeks, you will form life-changing connection, shape your 2027's North Star and begin actually taking the actions. Alongside that, immersive experiences will bring you back into your body, your joy, and your full aliveness.
By the end of the residency, the courage, clarity, and liberation you've accessed will no longer feel like a temporary high. They'll be an embodied state that carries the rest of your year.
You'll begin 2027 with your vision in motion, your full self switched back on, and a tribe you can be completely naked with—figuratively and literally.
An intentional arc that launches you into your full power.
Week 1 · 28 Dec – 3 Jan
Exhale
Through structured reflection across every life dimension, we'll celebrate the highs, honor the lows, and release what no longer serves us. We'll close 2026 with an onsite day festival and many days of afterglow cuddles — a wholesome easing into the new year.
Week 2 · 4 – 10 Jan
Expand
Mastermind your north star and tap into the collective genius of the room. Each of you get a hot seat to share the biggest breakthrough that would transform your 2027 and let the tribe challenge you, connect the missing pieces, and expand what you believe is possible.
Week 3 · 11 – 17 Jan
Embody
Turn your vision into motion that you will carry for the rest of the year. Build the prototype. Begin the practice. Create the structure. Take the first meaningful steps toward your North Star while surrounded by people who won't let you disappear back into hesitation.
Co-creation Spirit
Libera Residency is a living masterpiece we co-create through your active participation. Each resident is chosen for the gifts and wisdom they bring, with space to share through a talk, workshop, or spontaneous offering.
Spacious by design.
With only one or two optional experiences most days, there’s room to work, rest, explore, and follow what feels alive—allowing friendships, collaborations, adventures, and unexpected magic to emerge organically.
Wild Aliveness
As we put 2027 in motion, curated experiences are woven throughout to light you up—moving us between depth and expression, intimacy and play, ceremony and celebration.
Workshops & Talks
Residents and guest teachers-led sessions around an idea, practice, and experience that will expand you
Included with your residency
Pangaea New Year Festival
On Dec 31st, the entire residency village will be transformed into Pangaea—a conscious New Year festival alive with high-vibe music, workshops, and experiences with some of Bali's most magnetic DJs, musicians, artists, and teachers.
Together, we'll cross into 2027 with a whole day of wholesome celebration, surrounded by the Libera residents and the wider Bali community.
Full festival access is included with your residency.
The firefly effect
A field of light. A force of possibility.
There's a phenomenon among fireflies: when they gather, one light catches another until the whole field pulses brighter. Each firefly shines brighter because the others are near. That is the power of proximity—and the power of this container.
Living alongside people who refuse to compromise recalibrates what feels normal. The extraordinary becomes ordinary. What once felt too bold becomes available. You stop editing yourself to belong and become unapologetic about who you are and the life you're here to create.
In week one, guards come down and real connection takes root. By week two, ideas collide and collaborations ignite. By week three, the room has become a living network of possibility—and a new standard for how fully you get to live.
The Space
Nayaveda Vastu, Ubud —
your home for three weeks.
A sanctuary in the Ubud jungle built for exactly this: enough beauty and ease to let you drop all the way in. Open-air spaces for circle and ceremony, quiet corners for deep work, and a table long enough for all 24 of us.
The orchestrator
Edric Subur
Libera is curated by Edric, an ex-Googler, startup founder and facilitator who's been orchestrating transformative containers for six years. Curating extraordinary rooms is his craft.
He composes tribes of people from wildly different worlds and builds containers safe enough for everyone in them to be fully, unapologetically themselves. He's walked his own road from hiding to fully alive, and it's exactly that distance that lets him take a room there too.
The result is a space where you're radically safe, radically seen, and radically alive.
Testimonials
Words from our previous gatherings
"You'll leave as a version of yourself beyond anything you could imagine."
Do not go here if you want easy. Go here if you want expansion. Do not go here if you want to hide parts of yourself. Go here if you want to transform — to finally express yourself fully. If you imagine what you can be at your very best, come here and try. I have rarely felt more truly seen and supported, even by my own friends and family.
Kyle Findley-Meier

"Libera is one of the safest spaces I've ever experienced for authentic human connection."
I felt held and celebrated in both my messiest and my most powerful parts, while making friends for life. It gave me the space to heal from patterns that no longer serve me and step into my next chapter with genuine excitement. The level of talent, co-creation, and production is out of this world!

"Libera cracked my heart and mind wide open."
The group felt like a safe, familial tribe almost immediately. The programming was the perfect combination of personal development, self-expression, and joyous, loving connection. Of all the festivals and retreats I've been to, Libera was the best organized — every little detail felt intentional. Edric poured his heart into this experience and it couldn't be clearer.
Anjali Venga
Tantric Embodiment Coach & Facilitator

"After more than 20 retreats, Libera is at the top — with no doubt."
Its quality of people, openness, and sincerity is unmatched. A really special space, curated with a lot of care. What an experience.
Mario Gonzalez Diaz
Film Producer, Retreat Space Owner

"A sense of belonging and trust that I haven't experienced elsewhere."
I left with a profoundly changed perspective, feeling not only more connected to myself but also to humanity. I realized how seriously I had been taking myself, and that weekend helped me rediscover a lighter, more joyful approach to life. I can't recommend this experience highly enough.

"The connections you make here are life changing."
If you are someone who has achieved success in life but feels disillusioned with society's measure of it, and you are looking for something deeper and more meaningful, this is for you. Libera is an incredible gathering, with amazing people, in a beautifully held container.

"It changed my life."
What made it so powerful wasn't just the outrageously beautiful experience itself, but the community around it. Being able to integrate together, to witness and learn from each other's lessons, created a depth that no solo journey could ever reach. Edric has a special kind of magic — he somehow gathers the most unique, kind, talented and authentic humans into one space. Every time I attend his events, I walk away with new friendships that feel soulful and lasting.
Dr. Ting Jiang
Behavioural Scientist, Founder

"Trust me, this work is real."
There are very few people who are capable of creating a truly safe container for deep connection and transformation. Edric is one of them. In a world where many coaches and healers try to "fix" you, Edric flips the narrative, empowering you to transform from the inside out. You enter as who you think you are. You leave more connected to your true, authentic self. I didn't realize how many multitudes I contain.

"The most transformational experience of my life."
I have attended Edric's retreat for three years in a row, and every time I leave, I feel like I have taken another massive step forward in my personal growth. It is rare to find a space that can seamlessly transition from intellectual, high-level business talks to deep, emotional storytelling about resilience, and then pivot immediately into pure playfulness. Edric's leadership creates a container of safety and inspiration that allows this magic to happen.

"I came disconnected and contracted. I left expansive and tapped into my fullest, truest essence."
Libera is liberation. The kindness of everyone, the thoughtfulness of the space, the joy and playfulness and depth in the programming — I felt safe and loved by everyone.

"Libera has helped me uncover my own power."
It made me feel powerful, despite many uncomfortable moments. I got to share my own workshop, and it really opened up my creative side.
Tamara Stupalova

"Magical, silly, sexy, expansive and profound."
It was absolutely brilliant how Edric created a unique spin of a fully connected journey where all of us were able to bond so deeply. He really has such an eye for detail and fun.
