The majority of people coming on retreats do tend to come alone and meet other like-minded spirits to share the experience with. We understand it can feel scary to share a room with someone you don’t know, but it is such a beautiful experience on retreat. Rest assured, you will have plenty of privacy even with a shared room, as the property has a lot of space for you to have ‘me-time’. Upon placing your deposit, we will arrange an onboarding call with you to get to know you better and pair you up with the person we feel would be most suitable. The beds can of course be divided in two.

Contrary to popular belief, tantra is one of the most misunderstood paths of the ancient Indian arts. Tantra translates from Sanskrit as a ‘loom’ as it is a practice which weaves together many of the sacred ancient practices, such as yoga, pranayama, heart-expanding meditations and connection rituals. It is the sister science of yoga and ayurveda and invites us to connect to a path of deep love and respect for the self.
