A natural spring-fed pool and a Finnish sauna add to the serene atmosphere, while the presence of a wild animal sanctuary fosters a deep respect for all living beings.
The practice
Rodayara's practice centers on the idea that art acts therapeutically, and therapy occurs through art. It's a journey of self-transformation through musicality, aromatic notes, and artistic expression. While not tied to a specific traditional meditation technique, the approach encourages internal alchemy and observing one's inner world, aiming to elevate consciousness through joyful and respectful engagement.
