Sanctuary · gatherings & events
A sanctuary for gathering
Our sanctuary is in perfect alignment for meaningful gatherings with friends, colleagues and kindred spirits. We have intentionally designed a combination of amenities — an arched temple, circular raised platforms and a multi-dimensional healing pool — set within two acres of tropical garden on the Kenyan coast.
The Shala Temple
A pavilion of circular arches. Today the 280 m² space hosts retreats and gatherings.
Water Therapy & Wellbeing
Designed as the second heart of the property, our multi-dimensional pool is a place for wellness, events and activities in contact with water — a grandiose setting for restoration and celebration alike.

The Swahili House & Circles
The Swahili house, renovated in Lamu-fusion style, has generous common areas, two verandas and a large kitchen; a second modern Swahili house stands nearby. There are six en-suite rooms in the area 50 metres from the Indian Ocean; two of them connect and can be two doubles or a family suite. Three more en-suite rooms, in Luce’s house in the park, are reserved for retreats and teachers. The Circles Area, three circular platforms, hosts activities and ceremonies under the open sky.
