Meet Your Guide: Carolina

What began as a journey to Nepal became the place I now call home.

For the past two years, I’ve called Kathmandu home while studying Buddhist philosophy at Rangjung Yeshe Institute.  Living in Nepal has taught me to appreciate the quiet rhythms of everyday life, where mindfulness and compassion are woven naturally into the culture.

This retreat grew naturally from that journey. It became my way of sharing the Nepal that has given me so much.

Every practice, every place we visit, and every experience has been chosen with intention. 

Drawing on more than fourteen years of experience in yoga, meditation, sound healing, ceremonial cacao, and retreat facilitation, I’ve woven together the practices that have most deeply shaped my life to create an experience that reflects the Nepal I’ve come to know and love.

My hope is that you return home with more than beautiful memories, with a quieter mind, a grounded heart, and practices that continue to support you long after the retreat has ended.

I look forward to sharing the Nepal I’ve come to know and love with you.
