Retreats
Features
Nature
Immerse yourself in the magnificence of the mighty Himalayan mountains. Breathe in fresh mountain air, stand amidst snow-capped pinnacles, and discover unique animals that inhabit these higher elevations. There’s no denying that the sun rises higher and the stars shine brighter over a canopy of majestic peaks and valleys.
Professional Photography
What a priceless gift it is to disconnect from technology and reconnect to the present moment. Leave your phone and camera behind and experience the comfort of having a professional photographer in tow to capture snapshot after memorable snapshot of your life changing experience.
Cultural Immersion
Dive into the inclusive simplicity of ancient wisdom and traditions vastly different than your own. Experience for yourself how, in coming to understand the valuers of other cultures, you will develop a deeper appreciation for your own.
Daily Meditation
In a world that places so much emphasis on keeping busy and doing more, gift yourself the invaluable experience of quieting the mind. Clear your thoughts, settle into silence, and discover for yourself, how in just two weeks of regular practice, mindfulness tools can be instilled for a lifetime of enhanced joy and contentment.

Immerse in the present moment and more effectively adjust to changing elevations with daily altitude breath training. Professional instructors guide a simple practice that will drastically improve your immunity, enhance muscle recovery, and promote a more uplifted way of thinking.
Community

Personal Achievement
Step outside your comfort zone, meet resistance, and move in the direction of your greatest self. Relish in the accomplishment of conquering one of the world’s tallest mountains, develop a newfound appreciation for the strength of your body, and witness how the overcoming of adversity will expand and enhance every aspect of your life.
