Once fully immersed in the dynamic world of dance festivals, friends and founders Wouter and Wildrik reached a point where they longed for something deeper. Their own path led them toward meditation, self-inquiry, and truth-seeking. Mandali was born from that journey—and today, their intention lives on in the beautiful grounds, peaceful meditation spaces, and the spirit of Mandali.

Offering heavenly views of Lake Orta, the entire centre has been purpose-built for the ultimate retreat environment. Our meditation halls, bodycare centre, and cosy library have all been carefully designed with a focus on supporting a clear mind, focused practice and transformative groupwork. Beyond the walls of our centre, our permaculture team devotes their energy to the blossoming of our gardens and the expansion of our food forest.
I wish I’d spent more than 3 days there and truly hope to go back in the future. The rooms were very comfortable, the teachers were lovely, the food was delicious - I have absolutely no complaints and can’t say enough good things. Mandali was well worth the trip!
“I came to Mandali to learn to be in the present moment. In the end, not only did I find what I was looking for, but I also happened to have discovered Self Love, and found my Inner Trust.”
“I recommend this experience to anyone looking to slow down, reconnect in beautiful surroundings filled with attention to detail, and to give oneself the sweetest gift of self-care.”
“Being at Mandali allowed me to calm down and quiet my thinking mind. The calmness allowed me to realise how grateful I am about everything in my life.”
“Mandali felt like coming home and it made me open up so much and learn more about myself and others around me. Thank you so much for opening this part of me.”
“I came to Mandali to reconnect and maybe even find myself again. During my stay, I learned that silence is very treasurable, and with it, I could finally hear what my inner voice was saying.”
“Your generosity, your kindness and your warm smiles are the cherries on the cake. Being here means living life to the fullest in every single moment. You can let go of layers, and find such a peaceful side of yourself. Go silent, sit still, let it move you and take that ride.”
