Day One

Arrive & Settle

You arrive. Lunch together marks the beginning. The afternoon is yours to rest and acclimatize. As the sun drops, we walk to Shanti Stupa to watch it set over the valley. Dinner at Rabsal House, your home for the next four nights.

Day Two

Go Inward

Morning meditation and pranayama. Optional mandala painting for those drawn to something meditative and slow. In the afternoon, tea with a senior scholar monk — an open conversation about Buddhist philosophy, impermanence, and the mind. The evening closes with candlelit restorative yin yoga.

Day Three

The Monastery at Dawn

We leave early — 6am — to reach Thiksey Monastery in time for morning prayers. Watching monks chant as the light rises over the Indus Valley is unforgettable. Breakfast near the monastery, then back to Leh to receive a private Thai yoga massage session session and solo time to explore the market at your own pace. The evening: yoga nidra and sound healing.

Day four

Alchi Village & Bonfire

Morning meditation followed by tai chi. Then we drive west through lunar landscapes to Alchi Village, home to some of Ladakh's oldest and most intimate Buddhist temples. Lunch in the village, a guided monastery visit, and a slow return to Leh. The evening ends around a bonfire with a shared meal.

Day five

Integration & Farewell

A short gratitude meditation at dawn. A closing circle to integrate what has settled in. A long, slow breakfast before we part ways.


about the facilitators

Gillian brings seven years of international teaching experience to her work as a trauma-informed somatic practitioner, Thai massage therapist, and mindfulness teacher. Drawing from yin yoga, yoga nidra, Hakomi somatic psychotherapy, and Buddhist wisdom, her sessions are unhurried and attuned, designed to help the body release what the mind has been holding.

Grey works at the intersection of movement, therapeutic bodywork, and meditation, guiding people toward greater resilience, embodied awareness, and inner clarity. He brings two decades of embodied practice in martial arts, bodywork, and Buddhist meditation. His sessions are grounded, precise, and transformative.

Together, they hold space with care, experience, and warmth.
