Be A Monk For Three Days

Two nights & three days to reset, reflect, and simply be

Be a Mountain Monk for 3 Days

• Private, premium, small group, exclusive, guided, non-religious, meditative retreats •

[ENTRANCE OF OUR ACTUAL RETREAT COTTAGE IN VAGAMON]

Mountain detox for your soul—3 days & 2 nights of clearing, calming & coming back to yourself.

Three days & two nights to totally unwind in a fresh way

Forget screens, deadlines, and city noise. Come live in the cold, green, blue mountain in Kerala — a pause for the body, a reset for the mind. You’ll walk through misty trails, eat food slow, cooked in a native kitchen, and rest without your phone and notifications. Step into a safe space, blend in pure nature, with a happy, non-dual mentor to teach you nine (yes, nine!) mind clearing programmes to help you breathe like a new being again.

This will be perfect for you,
if you are tired of the urban rush, longing for a real reset, or simply seeking pure peace & calm. Come in now — and you can thank us later.
