ABOUT THE SCHEDULE
Nepal holds a special place for Jolie.
Since 2007, she has traveled to Nepal for charity work and to immerse herself in the rich philosophy and teachings of Yoga and Dharma.
These teachings and practices, though not religious, focus on personal development by drawing on ancient wisdom and integrating it into modern life.
In April 2024, Jolie revisited Nepal to inspect accommodations, film the experiences, explore guest facilitators, and engage a local guide Tsering who is an ex-monk from Kopan Monastery. Her aim was to curate a comprehensive program that encapsulates her powerful experiences in a single journey.
The locations for this retreat were carefully selected to offer a safe space for peace, quiet contemplation, and deep practice.
The schedule, arranged with Tsering’s help, may be adjusted to ensure you experience the guest facilitators and have enough time for practice and rest.
Daily Practice of Silence: Each day, you’ll begin with silence at dawn, continuing until the designated time to break it. Should you wish to maintain silence beyond this, simply let us know, and we’ll provide you with a ribbon to signify your choice.
