Bhutan
Step into the mystical beauty of Bhutan, the Land of the Thunder Dragon, for a soul-nourishing retreat unlike any other. Surrounded by sacred mountains, ancient monasteries, and untouched nature, you'll reconnect with what truly matters.
Bhutan is no ordinary destination — it's the world’s only Buddhist kingdom, where Tantric Buddhism is not just a religion but a way of life. The country is guided by both a King and a Supreme Lama, with a national philosophy rooted in Gross National Happiness — placing the well-being of every living being and the preservation of nature above all else.
Here, there is no industrial production, and laws strictly prohibit killing animals, cutting down trees, and even mountaineering on sacred peaks. Bhutan is also home to the world’s only Ministry of Happiness, a testament to its deep spiritual and ecological values.
This retreat is your invitation to experience a culture that honors inner peace, harmony with the Earth, and the wisdom of ancient traditions — all in a land where time seems to stand still, and every step brings you closer to your true self.
Kathmandu
The Kathmandu Valley — and Nepal as a whole — has been home to powerful spiritual traditions for centuries, enduring and evolving over time. Kathmandu, in particular, is renowned for its mystical temples and shrines devoted to the divine feminine in all her forms. Whether through Hinduism, Buddhism, or Shamanic practices, feminine deities and their sacred lineages are deeply woven into the spiritual fabric of the region.
