Wellness & Spiritual Retreats at Jivan Parivartan
Choose a 1, 3 or 5-day retreat of yoga, meditation, breathwork, sound therapy, nature walks and rest. Every length follows the same daily pattern. Longer retreats give you more time to settle in and practise.
The Jivan Parivartan way
A women-led center teaching in Tarkeshwor, Kathmandu since 2021: thousands of sessions, guests from more than eleven countries. Groups stay small.
The 1 day, 3 day and 5 day retreats compared
Every retreat draws on the same holistic foundation, yoga, meditation, breathwork, sound therapy, nature immersion, and rest. Longer retreats add more practice and more rest. Not sure which length is right for you? Tell us how much time you have and what you're hoping for, and we'll help you find the retreat that fits.
1 Day, Quick Reset
One day of yoga, meditation, healing and rest. The One Day Retreat is ideal when you need a break from stress or fatigue but do not have time for a longer retreat. It's a balanced day of yoga, meditation, healing practices, rest, and nourishing meals, and it works just as well for individuals, small groups, or organizations.
The One Day Retreat includes breakfast, lunch, and evening tea with snacks.
3 Days, Deep Balance
Three days give the body and mind time to slow down properly. With more space between sessions, you can move past the initial settling-in and into a steadier sense of balance, carrying the calm of the first day into a deeper, more settled state.
5 Days, Transformation
Five days give you time to go further than rest: to deepen your meditation and healing practice and build habits you can keep at home.
What a day on retreat looks like
Here is our Complete Wellness Day, the itinerary for the One Day Retreat, which includes breakfast, lunch, and tea with snacks. Longer retreats follow the same schedule across several days, adding nature walks, group workshops, and more time for meditation, healing, and rest.
