AWAKEN - Ladakh | June 27 - July 04, 2023
AWAKEN RETREATS are transformational experiences – blending Inner Work with Nature & Culture Travel.
What you'll experience on this Retreat?
Why Ladakh? Ladakh, mini-Tibet, perched high up in the Himalayas offers world-weary seekers the solace needed to deeply Self-Reflect.
Living in Shey village by the river Indus, we'll integrate with the local Ladakhi culture.
We'll immerse in the world-famous Hemis Tsechu festival, meditate by the banks of the heavenly Pangong Tso & walk through the otherworldly moonscapes of Lamayuru and many more experiences
Inner Work? Yoga, Breathwork & Meditation + Sound, Dance, Art & Journaling masterclasses lead us deeper within ourselves.
