Kshanti
Find a quieter rhythm in nature
A retreat at Kshanti can take several forms: meditation, yoga and qi gong have all featured here, with each style making room for rest, insight and time in nature. The team has been hosting retreats since 2012 at Les Gavaxes, in Beget, a small Catalan village whose quieter pace suits a break from busy routines. Rather than being tied to a single practice, the program varies by retreat, so visitors can choose an approach that feels right for them. The setting is part of the appeal, with opportunities to step outside between periods of practice and let the surrounding landscape set a gentler rhythm. Kshanti runs paid retreats, though fees and what they include depend on the booking. Check the center’s website for upcoming dates, and ask about the schedule, lodging and what to bring for your chosen retreat.
