A coastal setting for slower work
Goa is not just the backdrop. It shapes the retreat: morning light for practice, warm evenings for walking, and enough distance from your normal week for the body to begin trusting rest again.
The house
Everything happens at Xavier's, Anjuna, Goa — an open-sided shala with a thatched roof and a red-oxide floor, a library room for reading and sitting, and a garden between them. You practise, eat and sleep in the same place, which is a large part of why a residential retreat works.
