The Rooted Journey
5 days · 4 nights · Limited to 16 guests
Step away from the pace of the city and spend five days with the classics, the mountains, fragrance and yourself — guided throughout by RootLifeWell's course mentors and master artisans.
The Setting
A Restored Courtyard Above the Tea Terraces
Morning mist rises from the valley as we read the classical Huangdi Neijing beneath the courtyard sky. Afternoons lead into the tea gardens and forest to observe Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water in their natural form, before an evening of incense brings each day to a quiet close.
