What is mindful living and why it is important?
We invite you to experience mindful living in the Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan. Our carefully curated retreats are designed for anyone seeking mental, physical, and holistic well-being. We welcome individuals from all walks of life. It’s a week-long opportunity for deep connection and resonance, where you can rediscover the qualities within you and nourish both your mind and body. It’s a chance to reconnect with yourself and find true happiness. Through daily yoga, meditation, and the introduction to Gross National Happiness (GNH), you’ll have the chance to forge lifelong friendships with fellow seekers in a carbon-negative country. You will enjoy authentic, organic Bhutanese cuisine, explore breathtaking landscapes through hiking, and immerse yourself in the tranquil environment and the warmth of Bhutanese hospitality.
