Katha Wellness Retreat 2019 (25 – 31 July 2019)

A break is exactly what you need when you feel drained of energy and fatigued by daily routines. This is the moment to reflect inward and regain harmony among your mind, body, and soul.

And where better to discover and reinvent YOURSELF than in God’s own land, Kerala!

We present to you Katha Wellness Retreat at Kairali – The Ayurvedic Healing Village.

Unwind in nature’s embrace, encircled by lush greenery, inhale the crisp air and appreciate the peacefulness following a rejuvenating period of Yoga and meditation.

There’s even more to anticipate in a storytelling session where you’ll discover the ancient Vedic texts presented straightforwardly, allowing you to easily integrate the deep teachings into your everyday life for an improved existence!

Additionally, you can indulge in soothing Ayurvedic massages that will revitalize you and assist in restoring the physical vitality that a demanding life has taken away from you.

This retreat aims to help individuals who wish to escape stress, restructure their lives to incorporate healthy habits, both physically and spiritually, and to lead a more fulfilling life upon returning home.
