More Information about this Transformational Experience
I’m very, very excited to invite you to “Harmony Haven: Ayurveda Bliss & Yoga Retreat.” This is an Ayurvedic and Yoga Wellness Retreat I’ve organized to take place in India!
Harmony Haven: Ayurveda Bliss & Yoga Retreat is scheduled for the first two weeks of November 2024 ( November 6-20th/ 15 days & 14 nights). I’ve leaned heavily on my long-term, deep experience and practice of Ayurveda and Yoga to put this retreat together. It is carefully designed for a small, intimate group of kindred spirits who seek profound healing effects on the mind and body and long-term health benefits that authentic Ayurvedic and Yogic practices together can provide.
There are just 10 spots I plan to fill for this trip, and they are filling quickly; the totality of the package is much, much more than described in this letter.
This is an opportunity for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. If you are interested, I urge you to contact me at 609-651-6052 or nancy@healingheartayurveda.com for further details.

Healing Heart Ayurevda 2026- Ayurveda and Yoga Healing Retreat: Kerala, India
A Journey Beyond Wellness -An Immersion into the Heart of Ayurveda
- A retreat that goes far beyond the typical yoga or wellness escape. While most retreats offer a brief pause from daily life, this 16-day journey in Kerala — the cradle of the world’s oldest healing system – offers something far deeper.
- At The Health Village, a renowned center of clinical excellence, you’ll receive daily authentic Ayurvedic treatments, personalized herbal protocols, and comprehensive healing guided by senior physicians.
- Your days open with yoga, meditation, sacred self-care, and continue with Ayurvedic education sessions to help you integrate healing practices into your life long after you return home. You’ll also experience the beauty and soul of Kerala through temple visits, a puja ceremony, serene backwater excursions, and journeys to lush tea plantations.
- This year’s retreat is especially meaningful because it coincides with Onam, Kerala’s cherished festival of abundance and joy. During Onam, Kerala blooms with floral mandalas, temple rituals, music, and community celebrations. Experiencing Onam at The Health Village – honored with devotion and authenticity — offers a rare and unforgettable glimpse into the true heart of Kerala.
- Personally guided by Nancy Raffa, C.A.D. L.P., B.S. Psy., every treatment, meal, and moment is thoughtfully curated to restore balance and awaken inner peace.
- Comparable international retreats often cost twice as much for half the depth. Here, you receive a deeply immersive, clinically guided Ayurvedic experience — including two daily treatments, personalized care, yoga, meditation, culture, and community – at an exceptionally accessible rate.
