This Ayurvedic wellness experience will encompass healing of the body through 10 days of Panchakarma. Allowing the body and mind to rest and rejuvenate through a combination of daily Vedic Meditation and Yoga; as well as spiritual practices, spiritual experiences, great conversation, laughs, tears and a lot of joy! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6319a56bd802381c3f679d20/1707746036383-LEKOEUB0XFHUGIE1CCHJ/image-asset.jpeg Courses & Retreats - The inner pilgrimage - Ayurveda and Wellness Retreat, India What is Panchakarma? Panchakarma, a holistic Ayurvedic wellness practice, designed to enhance your health and vitality by cleansing the body and clearing the mind. The ‘five actions’ (Pancha – karma) helps to detoxify the body and strengthen the immune system, restore balance and well-being using the traditional five-fold therapy. The objective of Panchakarma is to promote a feeling of health and vitality by means of cleansing the body, clearing the mind and allowing the consciousness to take its rightful place in your life. Your Panchakarma programme will start with an Ayurvedic consultation with the Vaidya (Ayurvedic Doctor). This is designed to determine your state of health and well-being, assess any areas of concern, and to investigate your dosha (Kapha, Pitta or Vata or a combination). Following this, a personalised Panchakarma treatment plan is devised for the period of your stay. Panchakarma treatments place a heavy emphasis on massage of the body using specially prescribed medicated oils. An Abhyanga massage is not invasive and consists of long fluid strokes to encourage the expulsion of toxins from the body. The massage is followed by a ‘steam bath’ to encourage the pores of the skin to open and to release toxins. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6319a56bd802381c3f679d20/1707746181515-1BM1NST0APEGV4YN82AM/image-asset.jpeg Courses & Retreats - The inner pilgrimage - Ayurveda and Wellness Retreat, India - The Location Our home for the 15 days will be at Shanti Makaan (House of Peace), located in Jonk village, halfway between the two famous suspension bridges (Ram Jhula and Laxman Jhula) that span the Ganges River in Rishikesh. This is the ideal place to experience, learn and receive the benefits of the 5000 year old Ayurvedic Panchakarma principles of natural detox and healing. Shanti Makaan is the inspiration of` Dr M. L. Maurya who had a clear vision of creating a wellness centre where the natural and peaceful atmosphere - rarely found in the ‘hectic’ present day - would complement and enhance these ancient Ayurvedic therapies. The Shanti Makaan is approximately 10 mins walk from the Ganges, shops and cafes; and backs onto a Mango orchid that provides a calming ‘green-ness’ throughout the property. The rooms at Shanti Makaan are basic and comfortable and all are equipped with ensuites. I have booked single rooms, however if a twin share room is desired please let me know. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6319a56bd802381c3f679d20/1707745946859-VGEL4O0JGSA8UQ64GI7I/image-asset.jpeg Courses & Retreats - The inner pilgrimage - Ayurveda and Wellness Retreat, India - What’s included?

Our retreat centre on the northeast shore of Bali is unlike any other part of Bali we’ve been to. Away from the hustle and bustle, the Gaia Oasis Retreat Centre is set on the north coast of Bali, surrounded by towering palm trees and nearby mountains, and is peaceful, quiet with a deeply spiritual radiance. Your body will relax as soon as you arrive. Simply setting foot on the property feels like a deep exhale. Picturesque loungers on the oceanfront, crystal clear blue water, gorgeous palm trees and frangipani everywhere, the pool set just metres back from the ocean. Your retreat accommodation is a bungalow with ocean views and open-air bathrooms; all designed to work with nature, not against it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6319a56bd802381c3f679d20/f84e16ae-b8ff-49bc-8f95-0c98e522ef6f/Screenshot+2023-12-19+at+12.06.27.png Courses & Retreats - The ‘Unwinding’ Vedic Meditation Retreat - Getting there You will arrive at Ngurah Rai International Airport in Denpasar, Bali. The retreat centre is in Tejakula, approximately a 2 hour drive from the centre of Ubud (approximately 3 hours total from the airport). We recommend staying in Ubud the night before the retreat commences and the night following the end of the retreat, if possible. If unable to stay additional days, it is very easy to get a taxi directly from the airport to Tejakula. I would be happy to help you arrange this if needed, or support in taxi-share options with other retreaters, where possible. If you would like advice on where to stay before and after the retreat, or if you would like me to arrange additional nights accommodation at Gaia Oasis Retreat Centre, please get in contact. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6319a56bd802381c3f679d20/a57d45df-d06b-4bee-b8b9-08a0f4d1a99d/Screenshot+2023-12-19+at+12.09.34.png Courses & Retreats - The ‘Unwinding’ Vedic Meditation Retreat - What’s included 7 nights accommodation in a bungalow with ocean views from June 10 to June 17, 2025.
