Ayurvedic Health Retreat

Our Kerala retreat is a sublime paradise designed to reset, rebalance & reinvigorate you using the ancient healing practices of Ayurveda in the most authentic & honouring way.

This retreat allows you to slow down, to reconnect with yourself without distractions. To just BE.

Situated in south west India, only 20 minutes drive from the international airport of Trivandrum, this tropical seaside sanctuary houses you in delightful thatched roof cottages which are dotted amongst the abundantly lush gardens overlooking the ocean.  Kerala is the birthplace of Ayurveda ~ a 5000 year old form of healing translated to mean "the science of life". Its principle focus is the holistic rebalancing of your whole being - mentally, emotionally, spiritually, physically & physiologically ~ using the divine oil treatments, nourishing food, yoga, meditation, pranayama (yogic breathing) and environment to attain this.

Julie discovered this Ayurvedic Retreat in 2002 after 17 months of extensive research visiting many retreats from the north to the south of Kerala. This was the only one that ticked all the boxes for the quality of the treatments, the nourishing prana-rich food that is medicine for your body, the beautiful cottages, the traditional yogic practices; all enveloped by the peaceful energy of the land that this property sits on. All together making it the most authentically aligned retreat to the Ayurvedic principles that truly honours these traditions.  This has become the foundational retreat for Journeys of the Spirit and one which many people return to again and again.

Over the years, the owners of this magnificent property continue to work closely with Julie to create new and unique opportunities for our Retreaters, so they can continue to experience the deeply healing nature that is pure Ayurveda. Because of this long-term relationship, we are able to offer you exclusive extras and inclusions that no one else receives, making the benefits of your retreat deeply transformational and long lasting.

We would love to share this paradise with you. Come join us 🙏🏽

Past experiences

This experience took my breath away. The attention to detail that Julie puts into planning & facilitating her retreats, the incredible benefits of Ayurveda & the generosity of our hosts is sublime.
I felt so supported in Julie's presence to broaden myself energetically, emotionally & spiritually. My time in Kerala was life changing, uplifting, powerful, transformative.
"I was looking for rest and pampering and its given me that. The treatments were amazing and the food gastronomical - what more could one want!"
Kerala gave me a chance to slow down & reconnect without distractions, allowing me to be just BE. To think & to not think, to have a break from all the roles that I have in my fast paced life at home
My Kerala retreat allowed me to be in stillness, feeling safe & supported in every way. From there I had so many moments of clarity, confirmation & validation to step into my truth.
A beautiful experience & wonderful place. Amazing food & caring staff. Yoga, meditation, treatments - bliss. Peace & time to destress. A lovely group of people to share the experience with.
