Host & Book
The Retreat Centre in Bordei is part of the Ecovillage & Sanctuary, where we offer all the necessary facilities for the enriching retreat experience. Our retreats are in many different subject areas, from yoga to personal growth to vision quests to non-violent communication to mindfulness and much more. We offer in-house retreats, but also welcome external groups who wish to host their own retreats at the Ecovillage. The retreats in Bordei are on a full-board basis. We are also happy to co-create and help shape certain aspects of the retreats, such as a spiritual chanting, music or a ceremony event, a visit to the ashram and Sanctuary or sharing the Bhakti practice. Further information can be found in our detailed program.
Rejuvenate body, mind and spirit.
Cuisine
We believe that what we eat has a direct influence not only on our physical, but also on our mental and spiritual well-being. The cuisine we offer at our retreats is organic, vegetarian, healthy and delicious. It is prepared and served with love. In the yoga tradition, this blessed food is called prasadam or grace. We offer courses in which we show you how to prepare delicious, sattvic (in pure goodness) meals that perfectly nourish body, mind and soul.
