THE EXPERIENCE
In a fast-paced society where we are too often living on 'autopilot', disconnected from ourselves and the world around us, we offer a moment to pause, with a mindfully curated retreat that will help you establish new habits to live a more present and sustainable life.
Take refuge from your everyday hustle in a luxury estate surrounded by peaceful gardens and fresh air. Enjoy a much-needed sleep in or opt for a morning yoga flow or nature walk. Stretch your mind with daily Mind Training sessions and informative seminars. Cultivate new mindful, sustainable habits and nurture your creativity with inspiring workshops. Indulge in some self care with an optional organic massage. Nourish your body from the inside out with nutritious, farm-to-table meals prepared by our in-house chef. Connect with likeminded people, and delight as strangers becoming life-long friends.
