Private Forest Studio Chalet Wake among the rainforest, surrounded by stillness, birdsong and the ancient landscape of Wollumbin. For those seeking a deeper sense of comfort and privacy, the Private Forest Studio Chalets at Ecoasis Mami Wata offer a beautiful retreat within the surrounding rainforest. These unique two-storey, architecturally designed chalets are thoughtfully positioned amongst nature, creating a peaceful private sanctuary to return to between practices, workshops and shared retreat experiences. Each chalet features a private bedroom, ensuite bathroom, spacious living and kitchen areas, and private outdoor space, with beautiful views towards Mt Wollumbin. Wake slowly with the morning light, unwind amongst the trees after a day of Raga and Yoga, or simply sit on your balcony and watch the changing colors of the mountain as the day comes to a close. The chalets offer a beautiful balance of nature, privacy and comfort — a place to rest deeply while remaining connected to the landscape and the rhythm of the retreat. Limited private chalets available. The price listed is per room for single occupancy.

The overall experience blends disciplined musical training with devotional practice, nature immersion, silence, and Himalayan stillness, supporting inner alignment, creativity, and embodied understanding of raga as meditation in motion.

Testimonials

I just wanted to say some words of gratitude, post integration of our RAGA journey. How beautiful to see you all in one spot last week at the Raga retreat. I feel like I am still bathing in all of your frequencies. Expanded & open to the flow of life and a whole lot of love. For me, it was the perfect spot and perfect timing to be reminded of how much light there actually is in this life, and how powerfully our vibration creates our reality. Effortlessly manifesting love & joy.. just by surrendering and expanding to true self, to truth. Thankyou to Shivam Rath & Mico Sundari for allowing us to bathe in your divine light - and initiating us into the use of the sacred sounds ourselves. It was beautiful to see how the use of our voice allowed each and everyone of us to open up to our unique vibration.. expand.. together creating a rhythmic resonance of truth & authenticity. All your tones will forever remain with me, thank you for resonating and co-creating our rainbow! With all of my gratitude for you all (the facilitators & everyone who held the space for everyone) Keep shining your unique colour & tone.. let our rainbow songs carry us through this adventure of life

Shivam is a brilliant musician and teacher. Having completed his recent 5 week Raga course I can say he imparts his expert technical knowledge clearly and patiently and in an a way that holds our attention. As a musician and Slide Guitar player he presents his music in a way that lifts and entrances his audience displaying not only technical brilliance but also displaying diversity and thoughtful intermingling of various styles through a fusion of Indian Classical with Electronic genres on an underlying spiritual/yogic base. Brilliant!
