8-Day Energy Healing and Wellness Retreat in Kathmandu

The retreat is organized around eight full days of practices and treatments, each with a specific focus. You will begin with an arrival day that includes an open session on philosophy and your first Ayurvedic healing massage and chakra meditation. From there, each day follows a rhythm: cleaning kriya and pranayama or yoga in the morning, a series of meditation and healing sessions through the day, and a different massage or energy treatment every afternoon. The instructors rotate too, so across the week you work with several experienced teachers rather than just one.

The schedule includes a variety of massage styles—Ayurvedic healing massage, relaxation massage, hot-stone massage, deep tissue massage, foot reflexology, Thai massage, and a session that combines sound healing with tratak. Yoga styles range from Hatha and Iyengar to Vinyasa, with dedicated pranayama and meditation sessions. On the fifth day, the group heads out to Shivapuri National Park for a day of hiking, with a nourishing lunch near the park before returning for a trekkers' massage in the evening.

What sets this program apart is its setting within a recognized teaching institution. The Institute of Natural Medicine has been training massage therapists and yoga teachers since the 1950s, and its curriculum is accredited by the Government of Nepal's CTEVT body. Swami Ji Manhal Tousis is one of the main teachers—a certified Reiki Master who pioneered singing bowl sound healing and crystal healing certification programs. He is originally from Jordan and has lived in Nepal for nearly a decade, blending Asian spiritual traditions with his own international training.

The location itself is a key part of the experience. Thamel is Kathmandu's bustling tourist hub, yet the institute sits in a quiet pocket above it, surrounded by holy trees and a lush garden. The contrast is exactly what makes it work: you can step out for coffee or a wander in the city, then return to a space that feels totally separate from it. The roof terrace is a favorite spot to relax in the evenings, and the garden is a calm place to read or practice on your own.
