GANESHISM RETREATS
All our retreats are nature, yoga, meditation, art and/or sound based and all are located In Sri Lanka, a country we know and love for its breathtaking natural splendors, its cultural heritage and the warmth of its village communities.
Rachel has been training and experiencing Kundalini yoga since almost 10 years, adding on top it now the science of Sound and the connection to nature, via Analog Forestry and Forest Bathing. Mahen has been an artist from birth and has been devoting his painting time almost entirely to painting Lord Ganesh for about 30 years now. They have found their own ways to spirituality, one through meditation in painting, the other through yoga, sound and nature connection.
All retreats have been carefully crafted to offer you some specific knowledge and experience. The locations have been specifically selected because of their connection to the teachings we propose. We have visited them all and know their owners personally. More than just being our friends, they all are very gentle and caring souls who are committed to preserving and helping their surrounding environment and local communities.
