Past Workshops & Retreats
Our holistic journey began in September 2021, following the extensive restoration of the Lotus Resort, a property that had stood abandoned for more than a decade. Since then, the resort has evolved into a peaceful space dedicated to wellbeing, personal growth, and transformative experiences.
