Earthy living
Vanavas means to take abode in the forest and those that do are called Vanavasis. Six Senses Vana draws inspiration from the qualities of a forest — a place that protects, nurtures and nourishes, providing space to discover and flourish.
There is nowhere quite like Six Senses Vana. Over the years, the outside world has crept nearer to our 21-acre retreat, and yet, just inside the boundaries, you enter a different world. A modern-day Ashram, a temple of wellness, with an assembly of Ayurvedic doctors, Yoga teachers, Tibetan healers, fitness experts, acupuncturists, reflexologists, inspiring Ayurvedic chefs, and a team of caring therapists who all contribute to our lives in a profound way.
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), each season is associated with a different element: Fire, Earth, Wood, Metal and Water. The winter season is related with water and therefore tranquility, calm, peace, and rest.
Dressed in a kurta, compression boots, and Venom Back Wrap, Wellness Pioneer Anna Bjurstam joins us from Six Senses Vana to share her joy that this transformational retreat has come into our portfolio. Here, wellness runs deep to guide the entire guest stay.
We hear the word mindful all the time. At Six Senses Vana and in the world outside. What does it really mean to be mindful? How can you be mindful when you are drinking a cup of tea?
Buddha nature is a seed that we hold inside. If allowed to grow, it will ripen into enlightenment. In these excerpts, His Holiness the 41st Sakya Trizin and Her Eminence Mindrolling Jetsün Khandro Rinpoche, talk about Life, Dharma and Happiness.
The sun is on its northward journey and there is a re-awakening of blissful flora and fauna. The same state is mirrored in the body. There is a rise in humidity and an increase in temperature and it can be one of the best times to detox.
