ABOUT THE EVENT

The state of Kerala is a small piece of land on India’s southwestern coast, covered in lush greenery and crisscrossed by numerous rivers. Kerala boasts an exceptional mix of attractions including breathtaking natural beauty, intriguing history, rich culture, fascinating customs, distinctive architecture, and is the cradle of the age-old science of life, Ayurveda.

This retreat will be held in the seaside town of Varkala, overlooking the Arabian Sea. Nestled on a peaceful clifftop, away from the bustling activity of the city, Varkala offers a quaint beach-town feel with vibrant shops and restaurants in a sanctuary-like setting. At the base of the cliff are the waters of Papanasam beach which are considered to have holy, sin-cleansing properties.
