your breath, your being, and your true self
come back to your true nature
A letter from our founders
How It Started
We realized that the things we are searching for are, in fact, already within us. We are born with love and joy in our hearts, power, energy, and stillness in our bodies, and clarity and peace in our minds.
The seeds of Mandali were planted–to rediscover the essential qualities we carry within us. Taking time for yourself is food for your soul, and helps to shift the perspective from your person to your being, reminding you of who you truly are.
Mandali provides a point of light, a spiritual sanctuary of peace that supports you in reconnecting with yourself and others. Our beloved team of teachers as well as the Mandali family look forward to hosting you during this important time of your life.
May you leave behind what you no longer need, and may you receive what will help you to return to your heart.
We had no clue how profoundly our first silent retreat in India in 2009 would change our lives. We were both thirty-years-old and finally remembering who we really were, maybe for the first time since childhood. Up until then, we had found success organizing large-scale dance festivals. Although we had achieved everything we ever dreamed of, we were still unsatisfied and always in search of more. We were the perfect examples of people chasing external happiness, only to attain it briefly before it left us longing for something new.
During our first experience with the power of silence in India, it took us a couple of days to slow down. But then, we felt a deep inner silence and contentment emerging. We were in the middle of nowhere, with nothing to do and nobody to speak to, yet we felt happier than ever. We discovered the power of silence, self-understanding, meditation and yoga. It was then that a whole new world opened for us.
Much love and appreciation,

Foundation + Vision
We envision a world illuminated by sanctuaries for inner work, where love, joy, and peace ripple outward, for the benefit of all.
Established in 2017, Mandali was created as a not-for-profit retreat centre offering programmes exploring various wisdom teachings, meditation practices and conscious movement classes. All in the name of facilitating renewal, healing and personal growth. Unlike many retreat centres, Mandali reinvests all revenue into expanding its mission, and maintaining the space, ensuring the focus stays on purpose, not profit.
