Mindfulness
Attention/focus on each single task at each second: fully in the present moment
You will learn how to apply mindfulness in every single frame of your time to be completely grounded and absorbed by the intensity of the present. Knowing most of the time we think about our memories or we project ourselves in the near future. It will enlarge your perspectives and your perception. It will stand for our basis, our grid of reading (and co-writing) the Great Book of Life to apply for all our activities, eating, walking, standing, the 5 senses, sleeping…

Detoxification
“The lack” emphasizes what we have in daily life and of which we are no more aware. (fasting, detox of unwanted habits, behaviours…)

“Fasting allows to regenerate your immune system. It cleans your body, your mind and your soul”

4-During Shambali Retreat we recommend you to chase and avoid black ideas to adopt the positive filter for all.
*None of the options are compulsory. Our guests are free to continue to normal program without any fasting options.
Eating
The nutrition allows being conscious about the special intakes of each ingredient
In Shambali we propose 3 normal meals: breakfast + lunch + dinner but exclusively to experience vegetarian food balanced with raw food, Ayurvedic food, and gluten-free food. We believe wholesome, organic, seasonal, local and nutritionally dense ingredients combined with healthy cooking techniques are the basic building blocks of healthy cuisine. These foods are earth’s medicine and used consistently will restore health, vitality, and wellbeing. We have implemented a ‘farm to table’ cuisine whereby our organic garden produces and provides vegetables to the restaurant. We carefully prepare these ingredients into deliciously healthy dishes to delight our guests whilst taking them on an epicurean journey into different culinary styles. You will learn the miraculous ingredients, the tips to increase your health maintaining amazing tastes and pleasure of senses indicating some recipes. This is an alchemical approach of nutrition embodying a communion with the food in full awareness. We reserve you a large number of surprises and experiences regarding this delicious topic which is food.
Reconnection to 4 elements

During Shambali Retreat you will learn how to integrate the 4 elements and their good balance in your daily life. They stand for patterns applicable to different fields of the materialistic dimension: certain parts of your body, your different moods, your psychology, your resonance with Nature: an inner and outer world with a deep notion of feeling Nature, to be fully a part of it.

We will give you some tips to correct eventually your standing, your posture to be more balanced: to be healthier, to be more esthetical and psychologically to feel more confident and to give an image of serenity (that you will find in or after Shambali).
Reconnection to 5 senses

This allows being more grounded in the famous “now-here”, to be more present more intuitive and sensitive thereby more aware of the subtlety of the world as a whole a bit similar to Veda’s large cosmic breath.
Regaining your inner child
Relearn the capacity to marvel at simple pleasures
It is based on the Intensity of small happiness: each present second is a precious gift and to marvel at simple things, to enjoy the great game of life. The children observe, have purity in the eyes, no judgment, no anger… they are fully absorbed by their environment: they live naturally the Oneness. They are in their own cocoon or bubble: their magic fairyland full of beauties and fizzy colors.
