5 Elements
Ayurveda & Yoga Retreat
28 May - 2 June
Rose Mountain Retreat Center, Portugal
Imagine..
Waking up to the songs of hundreds of birds. The soft morning sun is caressing your face while you stretch and poor yourself a warm morning tea. Oh, this silence... so delicious.
You feel grounded and connected and at the same time joyous for the day ahead of you - where you get to relax, learn and laugh. You truly enjoy the yoga practices and the chance to dive into the wisdom of Ayurveda. Bit by bit you discover what you are all about.
The food is nurturing and delicious and you connect to the people around you from a place of wellness. There is time for silence and discovery and of course for fun and play.
After 6 days you feel recharged and you take something home that is most valuable - a more true version of yourself.
6 Day Retreat
A co-creation with Karen van Ginkel
This retreat will be your safe ground to connect to your source and experience the healing qualities of Yoga and Ayurveda.
Empowering. Profound. Transformative. Heartfelt. Tender. Personal. Rejuvenating. Life-changing. Nourishing. Informative.
Ayurveda is a holistic system that encompasses body, mind and spirit. The main principle is that we are an expression of mother nature and are made of the five elements. Each and every single one of us has a slightly different distribution of the elements, which expresses in different qualities.
The retreat will be a journey through the elements where each day, we will explore a different one: Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether. After the 5 days you will understand how the elements express in your body and how you can use food and lifestyle to adres imbalances that show up. How to life in sync with your nature.
Whether you are just new to yoga, or you have been practicing for a while, this will be a safe playground for you. It will be an invitation to deepen your journey on your mat as well as your understanding in the Ayurvedic wisdom.

Already upon arrival you feel lighter, as if somethings falls off your shoulders. Looking around you see stunning veiws everywhere. You are Nature. The smell of the wild mountain rose completes the picture. This is the only place you want to be right now.
Karen the founder of Tripti discovered Rose Mountain Retreat in 2019, the year she permanently moved to Portugal. At first she fell in love with the owners, truly loving people that will do anything to make your stay perfect. And after visiting the place she knew; that this is the place where she wants to hold group retreats. Karen and I have held retreats before together in the Netherlands, and when she moved to Portugal we knew that soon we will together sit in a space holding retreats. We are super excited and proud to invite you to the magical hills of Rose Mountain retreat.
And - not unimportant :) -let's talk food! During your stay you will be spoiled with fresh Ayurvedic food prepared with love and understanding of the qualities of its ingredients. You'll learn what role food plays in the equilibrium of your system and get to experience the effects of well balanced meals yourself. Yum!
