There are many benefits to attending retreats, but one benefit that stands out for us is to be able to reset the mind and body. It allows you to have time for yourself, see life with a new pair of eyes and discover new ways to focus on things important to you.
The kindfulness retreat offers a chance to reconnect with your true self and be more resilient for the winter ahead. With a mix of meditations, creative workshops, teachings and mindful walks in nature, let your mind and body reset and receive the vitality that they deserve. Most of the workshops and teachings will be indoors in warm and comfortable place. With exotic food prepared by authentic Nepalese chefs, you will be nourished with healthy meals. Come with an open mind and be part of our mission to live more compassionately.
Creative workshops
Who you are today is a result of your past and if there is something holding you back from living your life to the fullest then we need to let go of unhelpful patterns from the past. In this retreat, Nitima Priya will guide you through letting go of your past through creative workshops working with your conscious and unconscious mind. She has a unique and energetic way of working with people where you will feel safe, held and not judged. If you are open and willing, she will help you discover yourself.
Authentic Buddhist Mindfulness & Philosophy
Balancing the body and mind is an integral part of being mindful and achieving happiness in daily life. In Buddhist mindfulness, balance is reached by cultivating a state of ‘calmness’ and gaining ‘insight’ into things as they really are.
In this retreat, Karuna Priya will share his wisdom on the importance of cultivating mindfulness in daily life and the values of kindness and compassion to lead a happier and fulfilling life at home and work.

Release covid related anxiety
You may be feeling uneasy or anxious about the future, getting back to work in person, mixing with people, readjusting to work life whilst covid is still around. You are not alone. It is crucial to make time to look after your own wellbeing and manage stress and anxiety. Mindfulness, kindfulness, and other self-care techniques can help you navigate the uncertainty. We have taken necessary covid precautions (details below), so you can feel safe to come and explore new ways to unwind, relax and find answers to what you are looking for. Come and rebound from the effects of the pandemic.
Testimonials
Really comfortable, dynamic and life-changing retreat! It really brought the group together, created a family atmosphere and really brought new ways of looking at old issues. Definitely the best retreat I have had in my life.
I would encourage anybody who is going through stuff in their lives to come to this retreat to find peace of mind.
I would highly recommend them to people who work with people and in large organisations, dealing with diverse group who are all looking at life from different perspective.
Akanista has shown me a simple yet highly effective way of becoming calmer and focused in my day to day life. The recordings are helping me practise the techniques on a daily basis.
I felt fantastic. So much more grounded and this was a massive lesson in dealing with stressful situations. They have something really special about them.
