Healing Heart Ayurveda 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.
