Women’s Wisdom

Cultivating Strength & Grace

by the Arrigo Programme

Udaipur, India

10 - 17 November 2024

WOMEN’S WISDOM — INDIA

Introduction

This retreat is the ultimate bespoke Arrigo retreat set in the Aravalli hills in the Devigargh Palace, Rajasthan, where we come together to do our work and take time to review what the year has been, to examine who we are, what we aspire to, what we want to let go of and what we want to call in.

Fiona and Kalindi’s work is held in in deep philosophical and personal enquiry. Through morning reflections and workshops, we examine what service to ourselves and to the world means.

This is your time to be nourished and drop out of the busyness of your everyday life.

We are living in times of great change in an increasingly complex world. This retreat offers self-nurturing, deep bodywork, daily yoga, temple visits and exquisite palace dining which all weave together to create a truly magical experience for cultivating the strength and beauty of life as a deep spiritual practice, nourishing the seeds of change within.

YOUR ACCOMODATION

You will be staying at the beautiful, 18th-century palace hotel, RAAS Devigarh. Chosen for its tranquil and scenic atmosphere, deeply rich in local history, with incredible attention to detail. The surroundings will allow you to deeply relax whilst being cradled in the Aravali Mountains. It has been beautifully, responsibly restored and updated with modern, eco-minded environmentally-conscious choices.

This week invites deep rest and relaxation a time to dream reflect and be held in kindness asking gentle questions of who are we as women, what is calling, how can we serve what we can let go of. This will be an opportunity to dive deep into yourself to drink the perfume of this powerful land.
