7 days – 6 nights of Gatherings, Yoga, Pranayama, delicious plant-based food and much more in Shanti Lake, France
A Week of Ahimsa: Yoga, Awareness & Community
Join us at Shanti Lake for a transformative week dedicated to the art of living together. We invite you into a welcoming, intimate, and collaborative sanctuary, a space free of judgment where the heart can truly open.
This is more than a retreat; it is a living laboratory for Ahimsa (the practice of non-harming). We extend this compassion toward animals, the earth, and one another. Whether you are lifelong vegan, simply curious, or a seeker of community, you are welcome exactly as you are. There is nothing to change and nothing to prepare—just bring your presence.
