Program Details

Welcome to a growing sanctuary of eco-conscious living and inner healing in the heart of the Pokhara Valley, Nepal. I am Narayani, and I am gently nurturing a vision of creating an intentional eco-village — a sacred space where humans, animals, plants, and spirits live in harmony.

This land is home to a Holistic Healing Center in progress, where we honor the wisdom of nature, celebrate local culture, and slowly build spaces with statues of gods and goddesses for reflection and peace. Everything we do here — from taking care of fish and the home to tending the garden — is part of a larger intention to live with mindfulness, simplicity, and love for the Earth.

Volunteers are invited to support in light daily care while also enjoying the beauty of slow, intentional living. This is a unique opportunity for travelers seeking a deeper connection with land, local life, and a more heart-centered way of being.
