This Mandali Experience Special offers our signature program the opportunity to explore a probably new practice: sound healing and mantra chanting.

Sounds and their vibrations have a magical way of working in our systems, especially our nervous system. While mantra chanting is one of the most liberating experiences for the throat chakra, allowing us to let go of those unspoken words.

You can choose your own pace and the experiences you feel called to.

“Always do your best. Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.” - Don Miguel Ruiz

Sound healing at Mandali.

Each vibration touches something unseen, stirring the spaces between our mind, physical and energetic body. Sound moves through us in ways we often can’t explain.

The gentle release as tension melts, the quiet unraveling of thoughts, the subtle shift back to balance.

In the presence of sound, layers begin to fall away. The mind softens, the body remembers how to relax, and the soul—often drowned by noise—finally has room to breathe.

In these vibrations, healing doesn’t feel like effort but a return to something ancient and deeply familiar. via .app

At Mandali, we offer a unique opportunity to step into a space of expansion and connection, where the shared experience nurtures both body and soul. Our Shared Rooms are beautifully designed to help you reconnect with others in a way that’s both intimate and restorative. It’s not just about sharing a room—it’s about opening yourself up to new connections and discovering the beauty of community in the serene surroundings of Mandali.

Sharing never felt so good, especially when it looks like this.

While it’s a chance to connect with others, it’s also a space for personal growth. Here, your group becomes your family, and the experience allows you to share not just a room, but a deeper sense of understanding and connection—something you may not even experience with your closest colleagues or friends. The shared journey is one that brings both comfort and growth, offering an experience that stays with you long after you leave.

“The most promising time to meditate [is] when the circumstances [are] the most challenging, the environment the most bumpy and noisy…Mindfulness isn’t training to be present in peaceful places. It’s about practicing presence in all kinds of situations, including those that are the most difficult. Distracting circumstances, even intense ones.” — Jay Shetty

Unlike humans, animals don’t carry the weight of past regrets or future anxieties. They experience life through instinct, sensation, and connection to the world around them.

Whether it’s the quiet focus of a horse standing in a field, with its deep, intuitive connection to the present, or the deliberate movements of our beautiful cats, Barolo, Shanti, and Bhumi, they remind us of the quiet beauty of simply being—whether they’re lazily stretched in the sun, intently watching the world through a window, or the serene glide of a fish through the pond.

Animals remind us not to do or strive constantly but to be fully immersed in the here and now. Through their presence, we learn that stillness, attention, and pure experience can be as profound as any thought.

What if inner peace isn’t a luxury but something you can practice? Try doing just one thing, lovingly, at a time:
Wash the dishes with care
Notice your footsteps as you walk
Follow three slow breaths
Listen to the rhythm of your typing

Presence is the way

“The stillness of the ocean, the depth of the sky—these are reflections of the infinite space within us. When we quiet our minds and look deeply, we begin to realize that we are not separate from the world around us, but rather, we are woven into its very fabric. Just as the sky stretches beyond what the eye can see, so too does the potential for peace and love within each of us. We are limitless, and in our stillness, we return to the truth of who we are.”

— Unknown, inspired by spiritual traditions of oneness

Our Story

Just an hour’s drive from Milan lies Mandali. A beautiful new retreat center that overlooks the spectacular Lago d’Orta in Northern Italy. Built on a hilltop. And built for everybody.

Believe it or not, the story of Mandali starts with two entrepreneurial friends, Wouter Tavecchio and Wildrik Timmerman, who had high-flying careers as organizers of international dance festivals. The success of their businesses filled their fast-paced lives with ever-increasing abundance. But with this came the nagging feeling that there was something ‘missing’.

Wouter and Wildrik started to attend silent meditation retreats and slowly, but surely began to spread a different and more ‘spiritual’ message at their dance events which eventually led to them realizing their ultimate dream: to create a center where people can experience inner peace, well-being and transformation in a safe and supportive environment.

After a long search for the right location and the right architect, and subsequent years of planning and building, Mandali finally opened its doors in March 2017. The centre welcomes teachers, groups and students of all traditions and from all over the world—beginners and experienced practitioners alike.
