Mandali Retreat Center

At Mandali we believe that the combination of yoga, meditation, silence, and self-care facilitates accelerates personal growth.

We will be here to support you every step of the way, whether you need professionals on hand to help support you or simply be given time for yourself.

Believe it or not, the story of Mandali starts with two entrepreneurial friends, Wouter Tavecchio and Wildrik Timmerman, who had high-flying careers as organizers of international dance festivals.

The success of their businesses filled their fast-paced lives with ever-increasing abundance. But with this came the nagging feeling that there was something ‘missing’.

Wouter and Wildrik started to attend silent meditation retreats and slowly, but surely began to spread a different and more ‘spiritual’ message at their dance events which eventually led to them realizing their ultimate dream: to create a center where people can experience inner peace, well-being, and transformation in a safe and supportive environment.

After a long search for the right location and the right architect, and subsequent years of planning and building, Mandali finally opened its doors in March 2017. The center welcomes teachers, groups, and students of all traditions and from all over the world - beginners and experienced practitioners alike.

The Center is created by the Mandali Foundation, a non-profit organization set up by Wouter and Wildrik, alongside one of their amazing teacher, Cali Ornelas.
