Discover Our Retreats
Vikara has guided many individuals on transformative journeys of self-discovery, fostering profound personal growth. With expert guidance and compassionate support, your retreat experience begins with pre-retreat preparation, transportation, and welcoming accommodations designed to help you feel at home.
During the retreat, you'll connect with like-minded individuals while engaging in guided journaling, gentle yoga, meditation, breathwork, bodywork, sound healing, and a sacred ceremony. To support your journey beyond the retreat, a follow up integration session helps you weave your insights into everyday life.
“Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation.”
