Creating Space to Savor
What happens when we let go of our propensity toward anxiety and starve the need to feed it? This retreat will soften us out of our deep tethering to stress and release us into our capacity to delight, to be in joy, to savor our lives for the deliciousness they hold. Through long-form Classes, holotropic breathwork, restorative yoga, a 22-instrument sound bath, freshly made pasta daily, and a refreshing trip into the waters of Lago D’Orta, the scene is set for savoring.

What will you experience?
-
Natalie’s Retreatment Classes start with 30-45 minutes of philosophy before bringing the teachings into the body for long-form practices. Classes are cumulative, building thematically from one day to the next to intentionally take students through a journey of transformation.
-
Alison will guide afternoon sessions that aim to relax and stretch the body from the morning's Classes. Expect yoga-based restorative movement and a special holotropic breathwork session to deepen the spiritual teachings of the week.
-
All meals during The Retreatment are sourced from the rich Mandali food forest of Italy and are vegetarian and free of refined sugars. There is filtered water, tea, and fresh fruit available all day. *Please note, no alcohol will be served until the last night, where a glass of wine is optional.

The Retreatment Package
Impact
Mandali’s founders, Wouter and Wildrik, envisioned a small village where people could experience inner peace, well-being, and transformation. A place for everyone to enjoy the benefits of meditation and yoga in a serene atmosphere. A sustainably-managed village of peace and joy in harmony with its environment.
This is why ecological sustainability is one of Mandali’s core values. Eco-friendly materials were used for its construction, wood chips fire the heating system, and solar energy powers the kitchen and swimming pool. Any surplus power is shared with the main local grid, so it can be used by the local community. Sustainability also applies to Mandali’s daily fresh vegetarian menu, which is sourced locally and organically.
