BOOKING WILL OPEN IN JANUARY 2026 – Subscribe to Rupert's newsletter to be notified of ticket launch dates and more.

This will be the second of two back-to-back week long retreats at Mandali. There will be one day between the retreats to allow for a change over; guests are welcome to book into both retreats, if they wish. For those booking both weeks residentially at Mandali and wishing to stay on-site for the night between the two retreats, this can be arranged. Please email Neil for further information.

For those who love to dive deeply into the heart of the non-dual understanding, retreats offer an unprecedented opportunity: seven days with Rupert and friends, nestled in a beautiful location in nature, where we steep together in the peace of our true nature. Retreats gather us in the heart of being, where we spend our days in self-abidance, friendship and creativity.

Each day features guided meditation in which we rest in being, as being, as well as dialogue in which we discuss the non-dual understanding. Between gatherings, we enjoy three delicious vegetarian meals, where the love and understanding effortlessly transmits itself through friendship. In the evenings, we might relax with friends, watch a film together or celebrate through poetry and music.

Whether you seek peace, happiness, truth, love or freedom – or if you would simply like to reunite with old friends – retreats provide the priceless opportunity to taste your true nature in an atmosphere of kindness and beauty. The people you meet on retreat will quickly become your non-dual family, so please join us as we gather in the spirit of friendship to celebrate the unity of being.

Accommodation
Mandali offers a range of exceptional on-site accommodation, with additional nearby options for those who prefer to stay off-site.

Meals and Refreshments
All meals are vegetarian and served buffet style, with a variety of healthy and delicious selections, including some vegan and gluten-free dishes at most meal times.

If you are following an exclusive gluten free, dairy free, or vegan diet for the week, please select this when booking so the kitchen can prepare suitable alternatives. If you have any other dietary requirements, please contact the organiser before booking to check whether the kitchen can accommodate them. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that all special diets can be catered for.
