1:1 mentoring with Matt and Mairead
What makes this retreat truly special is the ongoing, in-person support you receive throughout the process. As you move through deep meditation and Ayurvedic treatments, you’re supported by two experienced facilitators:
Matt, whose unique gift lies in helping people let go and sharing the knowledge of the Vedas in a grounded, practical and relatable way.
Mairead, who offers compassionate guidance to help you find clarity through change and challenge, grounded in her rich knowledge of Vedic astrology.
Together, they create a deeply held space for emotional release, insight, and transformation as it unfolds during the retreat.
HIGHLIGHT
Personalised Rounding Program
A key component of the retreat will be the daily Rounding program which consists of a sequence of yoga asanas and breathwork to prepare the body and mind for meditation. No previous Rounding experience is required as we will instruct you in the practice on the retreat.
Each guest's Rounding program will be personalised, with the option to get up to teacher-training levels of 14 Rounds a day, where appropriate.

Vedic Ceremonies & Temple Visits
The retreat takes place at a peaceful Ayurvedic centre surrounded by 8 sacred temples. You will be guided through powerful Vedic ceremonies, including yagyas, pujas, full moon celebrations and new year rituals.
We will explore local spiritual sites — including a day trip to a sacred Shiva mountain nearby where sages and saints have meditated for centuries.
HIGHLIGHT
This is NOT for you if:
You’re not open to dietary changes – We follow a very simple Ayurvedic diet to reset digestion and support detoxification.
You’re looking for luxury – Accommodation is simple, clean, and comfortable, but not luxurious.
You prefer constant stimulation – This retreat is about slowing down. Stillness, silence, and simplicity are at its core.
You’re not ready to unplug – There will be no social media and only limited phone use, to support deep rest and inward connection.
You’re not ready for inner work – This space invites honest self-inquiry and emotional release, supported with care — but it does require willingness.
You are not willing to give up your daily coffee (or chocolate!) – We gently remove stimulants like caffeine and chocolate to help de-excite the nervous system.
