When I first arrived, I felt physically unwell, mentally challenged by the many adversities. When I left I was physically more alive than I could remember having felt before, mentally refreshed, renewed and restored and spiritually soaring to heights I hadn't touched in decades.

The Chopra Health Retreat is truly the best gift I have ever given myself and I am so incredibly grateful for a safe, supportive, and loving space to heal and grow.

- Past guest

I walked away from The Chopra Retreat wide-eyed and transformed by the weeklong journey and practices I learned. It's hard to put into words just how much this experience has and will impact my life from this day forward. It was intense, emotional, and so worth it.

- Past guest

This experience has changed my life. I arrived feeling broken. I left feeling powerful. I know, without a doubt, I will continue to elevate my life, and others around me, through these practices. This 6-day course instilled in me the faith I needed in myself and the universe.

- Past guest

Smiling mature woman standing on a beach with her surfboard

To find oneself in the midst of the storms of life and then leave with changes that were subtle at first when I came home, but have grown significantly as I realize I am not the same person, but someone calmer, kinder, more alive and infinitely more grateful. This is like a new lease on life.

- Past guest

For curious souls or ones who are suffering or simply seeking to go deeper, this whole health approach to well-being, is such a gift. If the universe has put you in front of this opportunity, take it!
