Our cherished alumni week brings together women who have shared this journey for years, creating a deeply familiar and heart-led atmosphere from the very first moment. It is a special gathering for long-time alumni to reconnect, reflect, and return to a space that holds shared memories, growth, and meaningful connection.
Designed with warmth and intention, this week offers the comfort of being among women who already know the spirit of the experience, while also making room for new layers of insight, presence, and renewal. Expect a supportive environment shaped by trust, openness, and the kind of ease that only comes from years of walking a path together.
This is a week to honor the legacy of the community, celebrate the bonds that have formed over time, and step into a shared rhythm of connection and belonging.
Designed for comfort and simplicity, these spacious six-sided tent-bungalows offer a peaceful stay close to nature without giving up the conveniences of a well-appointed room. Inside, you’ll find the same comfortable beds and inviting lounge area as in the other accommodations, along with electricity, practical storage space for clothing, and plenty of fresh mountain air to enjoy throughout the day. For safety, candles are not permitted.
Guests also have access to attractive, clean shared bath facilities set among garden surroundings, just a short walk away. The layout is ideal for travelers who want a more grounded, open-air experience while still enjoying a restful and comfortable setting. Bedding can be arranged as either one king-size bed or two twin-size beds, making it a flexible option for couples or friends traveling together.
With a wraparound balcony and expansive picture windows, this suite opens onto magnificent panoramic views, creating a bright and uplifting atmosphere from the moment you arrive.

One of the most distinctive features is the bathroom, where a glass shower and a luxurious bathtub are framed by greenery. This thoughtful detail brings a natural, tranquil feeling into the space while still maintaining privacy. The result is a setting that feels both refined and connected to the outdoors.
