Embrace Transformation in Goa's Most Serene Beachfront Sanctuary
There’s a point where tired turns into something deeper. Not just needing rest, but feeling drained in a way sleep doesn’t fix. Your thoughts won’t slow down. Your energy feels off. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. And it doesn’t mean something is wrong with you.
This 6-day energy healing retreat takes place at Riva Resort on Mandrem Beach in North Goa, where the sea meets a calm rivulet. It’s a peaceful spot, away from crowds and noise. The retreat isn’t about escaping life or chasing a high. It’s about slowing down, rebalancing what’s been stretched too thin, and giving yourself the space to settle back into your body and your breath.
Here, the days are simple and intentional. The setting supports the work, but the real focus is on helping you feel clearer, steadier, and more at ease from the inside out.
Why Energy Healing? Understanding the Power Within
Many of us have lost touch with something very simple: how our own energy feels. Older healing traditions have spoken about this for centuries, whether in India, China, or elsewhere. They all point to the same thing. When energy is blocked or out of balance, it doesn’t stay in one place. It shows up in the body, in our moods, and in how clear or foggy our thoughts feel.
Energy healing works with these subtle systems in the body, like chakras and meridians. The intention isn’t to chase symptoms, but to gently clear what’s been held for too long and allow things to move again. When that happens, the body often finds its own rhythm and starts to settle.
People usually notice changes in quiet, practical ways.
Physical:
Tension eases. Sleep feels deeper. Energy becomes steadier. The body feels more at home.
Emotionally:
old stress begins to loosen its grip. Anxiety softens. Reactions aren’t as sharp. There’s a bit more space to pause and choose how to respond.
Mentally:
the constant noise fades. Focus returns. Decisions feel simpler. Creativity comes back without effort.
On a deeper level, many people feel more connected to themselves. They trust their inner sense a little more. Life feels less pushed, more guided.
Your 6-Day Healing Journey: What to Expect
Day 1: Arrival & Opening Ceremony
Your time here starts the moment you arrive at Riva. After settling into your private villa, everyone gathers for a simple welcome. You’ll meet the healers guiding the retreat and the others sharing this space with you. A gentle energy check helps notice where things feel stuck or out of balance, and you’ll set a few intentions for the days ahead. The evening stays quiet, with restorative yoga and a guided meditation to help you settle in, not just physically, but inwardly too.
Day 2: Reiki & Dynamic Flow
The next morning begins with a Reiki session. People experience it differently. Some feel warmth or light tingling. Others just feel very relaxed. The aim is simple—to help the body let go of what it’s been holding. Later, a flowing yoga practice brings energy back into motion. The day ends with a breath-based meditation, offering easy tools you can use to calm your system anytime.
Day 3: Chakra Balancing & Sound Healing
As the retreat unfolds, attention turns to the body’s main energy centers, often called chakras. Through meditation, visualization, and gentle hands-on work, focus is given to what needs support. Restorative yoga in the afternoon helps open things up without pushing. In the evening, a sound healing session uses bowls, gongs, and chimes. The vibrations move through the body and often release tension in quiet, unexpected ways.
Day 4: Pranic Healing & Energy Flow
One day is focused on pranic healing, which works with the body’s natural life force. The session is guided by what you’re dealing with, whether it shows up physically or emotionally. Later, gentle yoga and breathwork help keep energy moving. In the afternoon, a slow walk along the beach turns into a quiet meditation, giving everything time to settle while staying close to nature.
Day 5: Energy Reset & Community
The final day is about bringing it all together. A closing healing session helps restore balance, and the last meditation offers simple guidance for continuing these practices at home in a way that feels doable. The retreat ends with a farewell ceremony that quietly honors the work you’ve done and the courage it took to show up. You leave with practical tools, clearer awareness, and a steadier sense of energy to carry with you.
Day 6: Integration & Closing Ceremony
Your final day focuses on integration—the crucial process of anchoring your healing so it continues long after you leave. A closing healing session addresses any remaining blockages and seals your energetic field. In a final meditation, you'll receive personalized guidance for maintaining your practice at home. The farewell ceremony honors your courage, celebrates your growth, and sends you forward with tools, insights, and renewed energy for the journey ahead.
Your Sanctuary: Riva Resort, Mandrem
A Rare Dual-Waterfront Paradise
Riva Resort sits in a rare spot where the Arabian Sea meets the Mandrem rivulet. The moment you arrive, everything feels quieter. Calmer. It’s just a short walk from Mandrem Beach, yet tucked away enough to feel protected from noise and crowds. The resort itself is a four-star boutique space that blends comfort with a simple, natural feel. Nothing flashy. Just thoughtfully done.
What Makes Riva Resort Special
Mandrem Beach is known for its wide stretch of white sand and its peaceful pace. People come here for quiet walks, long swims, and space to breathe, not parties or loud music. It still carries the feeling of an older Goa, the kind people discovered decades ago. Soft sand underfoot, the sea stretching out ahead, and a gentle creek nearby. It’s the kind of place where calm comes easily.
What Sets This Retreat Apart
Expert Practitioners Who Walk the Path
The people guiding this retreat aren’t just trained on paper. They’re experienced energy healers, yoga teachers, and meditation guides who’ve spent years doing this work, both with others and within themselves. They know the process because they’ve lived it. That makes a difference. You’re being supported by people who understand what it’s like to move through healing, not just talk about it.
Small Groups, Big Transformation
We keep the group small on purpose. Healing isn’t one-size-fits-all, and it shouldn’t feel rushed or generic. With fewer people, there’s space to pay attention to what you actually need. Sessions can be adjusted, questions can be asked, and nothing gets lost in the crowd.
Luxury That Supports Healing
Feeling safe and cared for matters more than most people realize. At Riva Resort, comfort isn’t about excess, it’s about support. Meals are nourishing and thoughtfully prepared. Spa treatments help the body release what the mind can’t. And the rooms feel like places you can truly rest. All of it works together to make healing feel possible, not forced.
Beyond the Sessions: The Complete Healing Experience
Nourishment for Body & Soul
Each day includes three fresh, organic meals, prepared with care. The food is simple but thoughtful, drawing from Ayurvedic ideas and modern nutrition. It’s meant to support your energy and digestion without feeling heavy or restrictive. Most people notice they feel lighter, clearer, and more steady just by eating this way for a few days.
Natural Healing Environments
Mandrem Beach has a quiet beauty that’s hard to miss. Sunsets here are slow and wide, with the sky changing color minute by minute. Mornings might begin with meditation by the sea. Afternoons are often spent near the infinity pool or resting by the rivulet. Evening walks feel unhurried. Being in nature like this has a way of reminding you to slow down and move with a more natural rhythm.
Spa & Wellness Treatments
Alongside the healing sessions, you’ll receive spa treatments that support the work you’re doing. This might be a warm oil Abhyanga massage, a Shirodhara treatment with gentle oil flowing over the forehead, or reflexology that works through the feet. These treatments aren’t rushed. They help the body release tension and settle in ways talking sometimes can’t.
Free Time for Integration
Not everything happens in a session. Some of the most meaningful moments come during the quiet gaps in between. You’ll have time to journal, rest, swim, read, or do nothing at all. Many people say these open hours are when things really land, when insights surface naturally, without effort.
Who Is This Retreat For?
This retreat is open to anyone who feels drawn to slow down and take care of themselves in a deeper way:
It’s for people who feel worn out by constant pressure, full schedules, and never really switching off. If your nervous system feels overstimulated or you’re running on empty, this space gives you a chance to reset.
It’s also for those carrying emotional weight. Unresolved feelings, old experiences, or past hurts that haven’t had the space to be felt or processed. Here, you’re supported gently, without being pushed.
Some people come because their body is asking for attention. Ongoing pain, low energy, trouble sleeping, or a general sense of imbalance. The practices here are meant to support the body as much as the mind.
Others arrive during a turning point in life. A career change, the end of a relationship, health challenges, or a moment of not knowing what comes next. This retreat offers grounding when things feel uncertain.
It’s also suitable for those wanting to go deeper with yoga and meditation. Not just movement, but understanding the subtler layers of energy, breath, and awareness.
You don’t need any previous experience. Whether this is your first time with yoga, meditation, or energy work, or you’ve been practicing for years, everything is offered in a way that meets you where you are.
The Science Meets Ancient Wisdom
Energy healing has been practiced for thousands of years, long before modern studies existed. What’s interesting is that research is now starting to catch up with what practitioners have observed all along. Studies around practices like Reiki suggest benefits such as reduced anxiety and low mood, less pain or better pain management, calmer heart rate and blood pressure, and an overall improvement in how people feel day to day. Some people also recover more easily from illness or injury when their nervous system is better supported.
Meditation has been studied even more closely. Research shows it can help people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress-related physical symptoms. It’s also been linked to changes in hormone balance, clearer thinking, and healthier brain function. Many people notice these effects in small, steady ways rather than sudden shifts.
What was once dismissed as abstract or mystical is now being explored in more concrete terms. The body’s electrical activity, energy pathways, and subtle systems are measurable and real. They play a role in how we feel, how we heal, and how balanced we are, physically and emotionally.

Testimonials: Real Couples, Real Transformation
"I arrived at Riva feeling like my batteries were at 1%. Six days later, I felt recharged, clear, and actually hopeful for the first time in years. The combination of energy work, yoga, and the natural beauty of Mandrem created something I can only describe as magical. The practitioners truly cared, and I felt held through some deep emotional releases. I'm not the same person who arrived—and that's exactly what I needed."
"As someone who's attended many wellness retreats, this one stands apart. The integration of different healing modalities was sophisticated and thoughtful, not just a random collection of services. The chakra balancing session on day three was profound—I released grief I'd been carrying for a decade. And the resort itself is stunning without being ostentatious. Just perfect."
"I was skeptical about energy healing before this retreat. I'm a lawyer, very logical, very 'proof-based.' But I couldn't argue with the results. My chronic shoulder pain that physio couldn't resolve disappeared after two pranic healing sessions. My sleep improved dramatically. And somehow, decisions that had been paralyzing me became crystal clear. I don't fully understand how it works, but I know it does."
