In a world that rewards constant doing, “The Light House” invites you to step into your being. This retreat isn’t an escape — it’s a conscious return to yourself.
It’s a thoughtfully designed journey — where every ritual, conversation, and moment has been intentionally designed to help you see your life with renewed clarity.
Because every meaningful turning point begins with one powerful pause.
