6 Day Mandali Experience Special

Every now and then, we become playful with our in-house program, and offer a week of celebration. Keeping the spirit and structure of the Mandali Experience, this retreat offers options for those who wish to get more from their experience and dive deeper into a themed workshop.

In addition to our daily yoga, meditation and Qi Gong practice, we invite you on a journey to the Tibetan Plateau through sound, movement, nature and ritual. In this special edition of the Mandali Experience, we are joined by Valentina and Bone Lhamokyap, who will be guiding an Ancestral Blessing & Mantra circle, Energy Awakening Dance Meditation, the Voice of the Eagle, and an evening of Tibetan Music & Live Fusion. Rather than observing Tibetan culture from a distance, you are invited to experience it directly, as something alive, embodied and relevant today. Together, we will travel from roots to rhythm: from intention and ancestry, through sound and nature, to movement and celebration.

Lovingly curated for everybody, this programme offers the following:

• Twice daily, guided meditations
• Twice daily, Yoga and/or Qi Gong
• Daily special workshop (Mantra, Dance Meditation, Eagle Whistle, or Tibetan Music)
• Access to the nourishing Body Care Centre (pool, jacuzzi, sauna & steam room)
• Nature Walks
• Delicious, freshly prepared vegetarian meals

This is a playful, heart-warming experience, where you can design the journey that best serves you, participating in as much or as little of the program as you wish.

Arrival & Welcoming

You’ll be welcomed as a group to meet your teachers and fellow participants in an Opening Circle at 15:30 on Sunday, and to learn about the programme and workshops.

From there, the experience is yours to shape, and you’re invited to follow your own rhythm: join a morning class, rest and reflect, enjoy the Body Care Centre, or simply meditate with the view. Feel into every day; this is your time to connect with what it means for you to come home to yourself.

The Mandali Experience Special begins at 3 PM, with check-in from 2 PM. For more practical details, please visit our FAQ page.

From Roots to Rhythm: A Tibetan Journey with Valentina & Bone Lhamokyap

Ancestral Blessing, Intention & Mantra with Bone
Our journey opens with Bone’s Shonghomah heritage, his Tibetan tribal roots, shared through photographs, film and personal storytelling. From there, we reflect on our own ancestry and the generations whose presence continues through us. Each participant sets a personal intention for their time at Mandali, sealed with a simple blessing from Bone’s tradition. We then move into Tibetan and Sanskrit mantra chanting, our voices woven together with live music, until the sound gradually turns inward into silence.

Energy Awakening Dance Meditation with Valentina
A dynamic movement meditation to release tension, awaken energy and reconnect with the intelligence of the body. Guided by music, breath and awareness, you are invited to step outside habitual patterns and move freely. There is no choreography to learn and no dance experience needed. The practice builds gently, then slowly settles into stillness, bridging the vitality of movement and the quiet that follows it.

The Voice of the Eagle with Bone
Bone introduces the eagle whistle, its cultural roots and its connection to the sound and landscape of the Tibetan Plateau. Each whistle is handmade by Bone from natural materials, and every participant receives one to learn and play alongside him. Ideally held outdoors, this playful encounter gradually becomes quieter, inviting us to pause, breathe and let the sounds of nature become part of the music.

Tibetan Music, Storytelling & Live Fusion with Bone
An evening in the musical world of the Tibetan Plateau. Bone begins intimately, sharing the folk and tribal music of his homeland, a tradition rarely heard outside it. The music then transforms into his contemporary electronic fusion, weaving Tibetan influences with flute, voice and modern rhythms. As the energy rises, we are invited to move and dance, celebrating how heritage can evolve while staying connected to its roots.
