Setting

Rina Golan's retreats are held in carefully chosen venues that prioritize ecological integrity and a strong connection to the land. These are typically family-run, eco-conscious estates rooted in regenerative principles. For instance, the longevity retreat takes place on a regenerative estate where food is sourced directly from on-site gardens or local farms. The spaces themselves are designed to be calm, natural, and supportive of deep rest, healing, and attunement to seasonal rhythms.

The practice

While the specific tradition isn't named, Rina Golan's retreats are deeply rooted in Ayurvedic clinical practices. This ancient Indian system of medicine focuses on holistic healing, balancing mind, body, and spirit through personalized approaches. Expect practices like yoga, pranayama (breathwork), and meditation, all aimed at supporting physical and emotional renewal. The programs are tailored to your unique constitution, offering a path to preventative and restorative health.

A typical day

Daily structure varies by retreat and individual program, as care is highly personalized. However, a typical day would likely involve morning practices such as yoga and pranayama, followed by personalized Ayurvedic treatments and consultations. Meals would be prepared with locally sourced, regenerative ingredients, supporting the detoxification and rejuvenation process. Afternoons might include educational sessions or embodied practices, with evenings dedicated to rest and reflection.

Accommodation

The specific accommodation details vary as Rina Golan utilizes different venues. However, all selected locations are family-run, eco-conscious, and designed to support deep rest and healing, often with food sourced from on-site gardens or local farms.
