Mauna: A Boutique Silent Meditation & Yoga Retreat in Hong Kong

Mauna, meaning 'silence' in Sanskrit, is more than just a quiet retreat; it's a carefully designed process of inward exploration. Your host, Vlada de Sousa, blends her expertise as an IFS therapist, spiritual mentor, and energy healer to guide you through a step-by-step journey from external noise to inner peace. Each day unfolds with guided meditations, restorative yoga, and mindfulness practices in the serene gardens, creating a sanctuary for deep personal recalibration.

The retreat takes place on an organic farm in Hong Kong's New Territories, a world away from the city's skyscrapers. Two private villas, previously a Jackfruit plantation, have been transformed into an intimate retreat space – think boutique farm, not spa. The air is fresh, the surroundings are green, and the silence is a welcome blanket that allows your own thoughts to surface and be heard.

This is a digital detox with a purpose. With your phone off and your attention inward, you'll move through three phases: first, meeting yourself through interoception (listening to your body's subtle signals); second, cultivating curiosity and self-compassion toward your thoughts and feelings; and finally, 'unblending' from the conditioned self to discover the calm, observing presence within. It's a powerful, transformative process that leaves you feeling clear, grounded, and deeply connected to what matters.
