Highlights

  • A deeply nourishing mountain retreat offering yoga, meditation, sound healing, ceremony and nature immersion, designed for rest and reconnection.

Details

This retreat is set in the Apuseni Mountains, a region known for its powerful spiritual energy, silence, and unspoiled nature. It's a rare blend of deeply spiritual practices (cacao ceremonies, Theta Healing, Akashic readings, hypnosis, shamanic and crystal sound baths) with luxury comfort. There will be ensuite rooms only, a heated swimming pool, and a sauna offering true rest and nervous system reset. With a private chef and nourishing, home-cooked meals using local inspiration. There's also a balance of inner work and outer exploration: mountain trips, village visits, and traditional cooking lessons. We will be a small, intimate group creating a safe, grounded, and supportive atmosphere. Optional experiences available, such as horse riding and massages, allowing guests to personalise their journey. This retreat is not just a getaway, it’s a sanctuary designed to reconnect you with nature, yourself, and a slower, more meaningful way of being.

Mandala Retreat is where Nature blends with the comfort of a space specially created for people like you who want something different. It is a place of rest for the soul, a place of respite to enjoy the energy of Mother Earth. Mandala Retreat is not just a new project. It’s a space bathed in Light, a space made 100% by Octavian’s hands, helped from time to time by the people of the village, each of them bringing a part of their soul, built with their hands between these walls, in the wood beams, in the plaster and in every detail. We have created this space out of a desire to bring you closer to nature and to be able to open your hearts to receive all the healing you need, whether it’s an evening in the sauna gazing at the mountains or a morning spent in the heated outdoor pool with the sound of sheep bleating nearby.

I felt completely overwhelmed with everything in my life, I needed to reset and recharge. The retreat had everything I was looking for from yoga, meditation, healing, and a place to unwind. After only a few days at the retreat, it gave me so much clarity to move forward with my life. The whole experience was up there as one of the best retreats I’ve ever been on. From the guys who ran the whole experience to the people I met was by far the best weekend I’ve had in years. Raluca is amazing in every way, kindness, patience, and knowledge are second to none, the chef will have you in fits of laughter, and the whole team needs so much praise.
