Join us for Feeling at Home: A 6-day residential retreat exploring Belonging, Identity & Roots
May 3–8, 2026

What does it mean to feel at home?

For many of us, home is not a simple place. It is shaped by the places we’ve lived, the cultures we’ve moved through, the stories we carry, and the identities that continue to evolve over time. In a world where movement, transition, and change are constant, the question of belonging often returns to us.

Through somatic practices, reflection, dialogue, nature-based experiences, and creative expression, we will explore what belonging means in our bodies, our stories, and our relationships, and how our understanding of home might begin to shift.

This retreat is facilitated by Manisha, a Dharmalaya community member and facilitator. Her own journey of connecting with her roots has shaped her work and her desire to create spaces where belonging, identity, and the idea of home can be bravely and joyfully explored.

If this speaks to you, you can learn more and apply through the link in bio. We look forward to connecting with you!

When hands move together, work becomes joy. Passing mud bricks in a chain, not just to build a wall, but to build collective spirit.
Natural building is not only about materials, but it’s about people, rhythm, and shared intention. 🌍✨

The 5 Elements & Natural Building
Designing and Living in Harmony with Nature 🌍✨
6th–14th March 2026
Join us for 9 immersive days exploring how the natural elements 🌱💧🔥💨✨
Earth, Water, Fire, Air & Space
can shape, nurture, and inspire the built environment.
Through hands-on building practices 🤲🏽 and moments of quiet reflection 🧘🏽‍♀️, we will develop a felt understanding of what it truly means to design in harmony with nature, while learning practical and meaningful skills.
Natural building is about much more than mud bricks 🧱🌾
It is about our relationship with shelter, structure, and the materials of the Earth, and how these relationships shape the way we experience the world.
No prior experience required 🌿
Just curiosity for the natural world, an interest in contemplative architecture, and a willingness to journey inward together.
Sustainability begins on the inside 💛
