Origin Story

A LETTER FROM OUR FOUNDERS

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.

Mandali was an incredible experience in a beautiful placE

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!

You can let go of layers, and find such a peaceful side of yourself

“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.”
