Arrive Slow. Begin Anew
A soulful start to the year amidst tea gardens, temples, and mountain skies.
As the year folds gently into its last pages, step away from the rush of celebration and into the quiet rhythm of the mountains. The Welcome 2026 Retreat in Bir is an invitation to begin 2025 with meaning — surrounded by nature, stillness, and a community of like-hearted travelers.
Over four days, you’ll slow down to the pace of the hills — watch sunsets melt into golden fields, sip tea fresh from the plantation, walk ancient temple trails, and let conversations flow under a starry sky. We’ll greet the first sunrise of the year with yoga and paragliding (for the adventurous), wander through monasteries, shape clay with our hands, and share meals cooked with love on local farms.
Come for the sunsets, stay for the stillness — and start your year where the skies are wide, and the heart feels light.
