Visioned and stewarded by Ari Bhakti, The Bhakti Way Retreat is an intimate, earth-rooted journey of embodiment, healing, and remembrance. Through movement, ritual, rest, and sacred sisterhood, participants are gently guided into deeper presence—softening the nervous system, awakening pleasure and vitality, and reconnecting with the innate wisdom of the body and spirit. Each experience is intentionally curated to feel held, spacious, and reverent, offering time for reflection, integration, and true restoration. Guest teachers, facilitators, and artists are invited in only when their presence naturally enriches the collective, allowing the retreat to unfold with depth, integrity, and devotion.

01 / Premium Lodging

Our retreat homes are chosen with great care—places that feel safe, grounded, and nurturing to the nervous system. When the body is comfortable and held, the heart can soften, and the deeper work can unfold naturally. This is a space where you are supported to arrive exactly as you are.

02 / Expert Facilitation

Each retreat is guided with discernment, presence, and devotion. Ari holds the container with attunement—knowing when to lead, when to listen, and when to allow silence and mystery to do their work. The process is structured, yet responsive, honoring both individual journeys and the collective rhythm.

03 / Collaborative Energy

Bhakti is a path of relationship. Healing happens not only through the practices, but through witnessing, being witnessed, and walking alongside one another. The circle becomes a living teacher—reflecting truth, amplifying insight, and reminding each participant that they do not walk this path alone.
