This will be Rupert’s second meditation retreat held at the beautiful Mandali Retreat Centre in Italy.
There will be three guided meditations each full day plus a Q&A session each afternoon with ample time in between sessions to connect with the other attendees or enjoy the spa and surroundings.

ACCOMMODATION
Mandali offers Twin/Double and Shared dormitory room accommodation on site. If you would like to stay in a single room, you will be able to add your name to the waitlist when the tickets are available in November. We may offer single occupancy in twin rooms on a first come, first served basis if there are spaces available closer to the retreat date.

Couples can note a preference for twin beds or a double bed during the booking process.
Most of the Twin rooms are booked in pairs for couples or friends who wish to share together, the system will automatically add two tickets to your basket for you. It is possible to book a twin room to share with a friend or to be allocated to a twin room sharing with another person. If you wish to book only for yourself, please book using the appropriate button for a male or female twin room, and you will be allocated a room with one other person.

Shared dormitory rooms will have 4 attendees in total and are allocated by gender; please choose the appropriate ticket when booking so that we can allocate your room properly. There are single beds and single bunk beds available in shared rooms, please book with your preference. Please note that bunk bed tickets are either top or bottom bunks, which will be allocated by the organiser according to availability.
If you wish to share a room with a friend, you will be able to book your tickets and email Niya with your sharing preference when booking is open. The waitlist is now full so we are no longer taking new requests; for those already on the waitlist, we may only offer out tickets close to the start of a retreat; it may be possible to upgrade your ticket closer to the date.

Commuter tickets are for those who prefer to stay off-site at a local B&B or if you live close by. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and refreshments are included in the Commuter price, along with access to the spa facilities. Contact Niya if you would like a list of outside accommodations.

MEALS AND REFRESHMENTS
All meals will be lacto-vegetarian. It is possible to select gluten or dairy free meals during the booking process; if you have special dietary requirements, please contact Niya to check that your requirements can be met by the catering team before booking.
