AnnapurnaBlue Heath and Wellness

AnnapurnaBlue Wellness is a sanctuary for transformation, healing, and self-discovery. Our award-winning retreats are thoughtfully designed to help individuals reconnect with their purpose, release life’s obstacles, and rediscover balance in mind, body, and spirit. Blending ancient Tibetan healing wisdom with modern wellness practices, AnnapurnaBlue offers a truly holistic approach to living well. Each retreat is set in breathtaking natural environments—from serene forests and lakes in Minnesota to the beaches of Costa Rica, the sacred lands of Nepal, and the tranquil coasts of Greece. Participants are immersed in daily practices such as Qigong, sound healing, meditation, breathwork, and mindset workshops rooted in the Five Life Poisons: anger, ignorance, attachment, ego, and jealousy. Through these teachings, guests learn to transform negative emotions into clarity, wisdom, and joy. What makes AnnapurnaBlue Wellness special is our deep commitment to whole-person healing and community. Every retreat is guided by compassionate experts with decades of experience who support each participant’s journey toward peace and empowerment. Guests leave not only renewed, but with practical tools for lasting change—and the gift of connection with like-minded souls. Whether you are seeking personal growth, emotional healing, or a peaceful reset, AnnapurnaBlue Wellness provides the space, guidance, and inspiration to help you awaken the best within yourself.
