Program Details

Welcome to a small and soulful retreat tucked away in the peaceful surroundings of Varkala, Kerala. Our space is designed for healing, creativity, and community living. It has been a home for travelers, yoga lovers, and artists for the past five years, offering Ayurveda treatments, simple and clean accommodation, and now, a newly developing Yogashala where volunteers can practice or host workshops.

We recently moved into a new building, and this shift has brought both challenges and opportunities. With fewer visitors and financial struggles, we are opening our doors to volunteers who can help us rebuild, redesign, and bring fresh energy into our retreat.

Our place is surrounded by calm nature, warm-hearted locals, and is close to the famous Varkala cliffs and beach, known for stunning sunsets, ocean views, and a vibrant mix of cafés, markets, and cultural spots. It’s the perfect space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and be part of something meaningful.
