Picture your retreat unfolding amidst untamed woodlands, babbling streams, and majestic mountains. Your group can gather for meditation, yoga, and movement practices in our serene meditation hall or on the lush grass fields nearby. A leisurely stroll along a forest path invites you to immerse yourself in a communion with the trees and birdsong, a grounding nature experience.
Our skilled cook will serve three nourishing and delicious vegetarian or vegan meals each day. These can be enjoyed beneath the protective canopy of our mulberry tree, with vistas stretching towards the magnificent Comanegra mountain. As dusk descends and envelops you in its hush, you will find solace and deep repose in our well-appointed accommodations.
We will be delighted to host your group at Kshanti.
Coming to Kshanti you will find yourself in the midst of native forest and you will be touched by the profound tranquility of mountain stillness. Here, you can realign yourself with nature’s timeless cycles and embark on a journey of self-discovery—making it an idyllic setting for individual retreats or for a break in nature.
We can tailor your retreat or stay to your own needs, offering guidance in meditation, sessions of qi gong and yoga, deep relaxation practices, information on hiking routes, forest explorations through guided walks, dream analysis, and psychological therapeutic support.
One of the beautiful opportunities for us living here is to listen deeply to nature and allow our imagination to roam with what emerges. Our seasonal newsletter is one way we can share this with you and also let you know about life here as well upcoming events. We hope you will enjoy it.
