“My wish for you is that you continue. Continue to be who and how you are, to astonish a mean world with your acts of kindness. Continue to allow humor to lighten the burden of your tender heart.”

Silence is not just the absence of sound; it becomes a pathway to deeper understanding and a way to cultivate lasting peace within.

In our fast-paced world, moments of stillness often feel elusive. This retreat, allows yourself to step away from distractions and tune into the deeper rhythms of your mind and body. It invites introspection, helping you uncover thoughts and feelings that may have been buried beneath the noise of daily life.

Without the usual chatter, you may find clarity in your thoughts and a renewed connection to your inner self.

Today, take a breath. Scan your body.
Feet, legs, knees, hips, belly, low back, spike, solar plexus, chest, arms, hands; neck, face, eyes, head.
Your whole body.
From down to up, from up to down. Slowly.
Take another deep breath.
How are you, at this moment?

Lake views that never get old. This view always fills me with inspiration, inviting me to dream bigger and recognise my limitless power and endless possibilities ahead.

Mandali is located in Quarna Sopra, a town overlooking Lake Orta. Lake Orta is the smallest and least known of the northern Italian lakes, and for us, it served as a backdrop for every meal.

Ps. The Body Care Center whirlpool bath is also overlooking the lake, a magical view available in every retreat.

There is a Spanish saying that goes like this: “Barriga llena, corazón contento” it literally translates as “full belly, happy heart”

It brings our attention the importance of food and it’s close relationship with our mood, health and overall well-being.

For those who have visited Mandali, I think they can agree that food brings happiness to our bodies.

Enjoy this sweet read this weekend by Emilio Mercuriali, who facilitates the Journey to Essence Retreats at Mandali ✨

Our life can be a wonderful experience, but it can also be mediocre and unfulfilling. At times, we feel free and full of potential, but other times, we find ourselves lost, unsure of what we truly want. We often invest our energy and potential into activities that lack meaning and fall into habits d...

Welcome Winter with this beautiful experience, facilitated by

When seasons transition, it is a call to “shake out” - an unfurling that summons you out of one energy field into another and initiates new growth. Glide from one season to another by fortifying your heart, mind and body with all the healing goodness that arises when you retreat from the demands of a frantic world. Resource yourself and enter the upcoming holiday season, new year and family obligations with stability and calm by cultivating solitude and stillness - silence and spaciousness.

“You are an artist of the spirit. Find yourself and express yourself in your own particular way. Express your love openly. Life is nothing but a dream, and if you create your life with love, your dream becomes a masterpiece of art.”
― Don Miguel Ruiz

Love is found in the smallest details—the quiet moments of care, the thoughtful touches. When we slow down to notice, we truly see how deeply we are appreciated.

The Mandali Experience is uniquely shaped by the teachers and diverse type of sessions.

These retreats offer flexibility, with no mandatory schedules, encouraging self-enquiry: “What do I feel like doing today? Should I join the yoga class or simply relax in the spa?”

Whether you choose one or the other, every moment feels intentional and restorative.

It’s an experience that leaves an impact and insights long after you’ve left.

What are the benefits of spending time in silence, the value of doing a silent retreat and taking moments of quiet during your day? Discover the magic and beauty of silence through Evelyne’s unique experiences in this heartfelt blog post 🤍

January is the silent month at Mandali. Everybody becomes silent, including the staff. So silent that you hear the wind, the birds, your breath. So silent that you feel yourself again, that you become aware of the very silent being that inhabits you. I love it, and most of my retreats are at leas.....

One part silence, one part listening, one part sharing, one part practice, one part being in nature, one part deliciously not-doing-a thing, one part learning to be kind to yourself, one part sharing this kindness with others ~ this is a recipe for truly meeting ourselves.
