2 – 8 August 2026
Element Retreat
About the retreat
Sometimes those of us with a natural desire to heal get lost in the idea that we need to be fixed. But, beloved, we are not broken. We are not blocked.
We are always in the process of remembering and becoming more of who we truly are.
If you are ready to put down the illusion of perfection, and separation, the attachment to overcomplicated ideas of what it means to be spiritual, and instead, make space for the natural ability within you to heal and be healed, I invite you to join me in the mountains of Italy.
Take space away from the constant distraction of modern life, the cultural obsession with doing more and getting more, and the lie we are unworthy exactly as we are.
In this week-long container dedicated to connecting to the elements to Be Your Own Healer, you will receive the space to feel your extraordinary presence, and find within you, a resplendent grace that revives your connection to all that exists.

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!

I learned that silence is very treasurable

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.”
