If your soul isn’t getting much of a look-in in an overly busy life, a Walk your Talk retreat at Chera Rocks with Vanessa and Mano is the perfect way to restore balance and gain a new perspective on life. Each time I come (and this is the fifth time I’ve been) I really appreciate Vanessa's creativity and generosity in creating an environment where we can all untangle ourselves and remember who we really are.
Vanessa and Mano's expert blend of teaching, yoga, Qi gong, meditation, somatic movement and pampering Ayurvedic treatments and massage all combine beautifully to calm a whirring mind and allow your body and spirit to expand and your energy to recharge.
Chera Rocks itself is a rare and beautiful place. The staff go above and beyond to ensure you're comfortable, with each meal a feast of exceptional Keralan food.
It is also a great place to come on your own as a present to yourself. Some people keep coming back, others are welcomed for the first time. Whichever you are, by the end of the week you will have talked about everything under the sun and laughed yourself helpless over breakfast, lunch and dinner, relishing each other's company.
Almost my favourite part of all is the many happy hours spent fooling around in the blissfully warm sea, chatting and laughing and playing in the waves.
Trust you'll have a wonderful time and you really will.
I have just returned from the Good Vibrations Retreat held by Walk your Talk Retreats at Chera Rocks. It's my 5th time returning to this location and it never fails to totally renew my mind, body and spirit. I always learn something new and the teachings of Vanessa and Mano always seem to adapt to what the group needs at the time in terms of rejuvenation and overall wellbeing. If you want to take some time just to "be", reset and recharge your life in a safe and nurtured environment then this is most definitely the place. Superb location, amazing food and accommodation. And a truly life changing Retreat. Thank you again Vanessa and Mano for your support and guidance. Blessings
My third visit to this delightful place
I have never been to such an unspoilt beautiful peaceful place
If you want to totally unwind have good food and rest this is the place for you
The retreat is enjoyable and the meditation in the backdrop of the beach and ocean
I learnt a great deal on each separate retreats which I apply to my day to day liven
It is safe and suitable to go alone and as an older women
I look forward to returning again ad seeing Vanessa and Mano again
Chera Rocks had a magic associated to it
Walk your Talk Retreat was a magical experience for me. I had always wanted to go to Kerala and this was the first time I had travelled alone, plus this was the first time I had ever done anything for myself and I had the most magical experience of my life.
I knew very little about Reiki or Qi Gong but I love to learn new things. I had tried meditation at home but my mind always wondered off in the wrong direction, however Vanessa's guided meditation was magical, it helped clear my mind and focus on my own personal journey for the first time. I loved the Hatha yoga and was intrigued with the spiritual healing aspects and the mindfulness techniques and just having the time to reflect, evaluate and recharge my batteries was exactly what I needed.
Vanessa and Mano are the most warming couple you will ever meet, they complete your journey in every way. Plus the location at Chera Rocks, Nivedh and his staff, the tasty freshly cooked food, the beautiful beach, warm ocean and the people I met (who are there for exactly the same thing) completed my magical experience.
I wouldn’t normally go back to a place I have visited before however I have no doubt that I will return!
This is my 4th time at this Resort. And every time I have a new and amazing experience. This time I attended Reiki Master training and also Creatively Conscious Retreat. I learnt so much again and the teachings of Vanessa and Mano were as always first class. If you want to de stress and take time out for you.And return with your mind and body fully recharged then this experience is for you. The nurturing environment of Chera Rocks make it the ideal paradise location to maximise results.
Its where magic happens!!
Thank you Vanessa and Mano for another amazing time.
I looked out of my window this morning (in England) and mentally transported myself back to the beach in Kerala a few weeks ago; doing Qigong on the beach staring out to the Arabian sea with the sun smiling down on us. It really doesn't get much better than that. The week was my second experience with Vanessa and Mano and was just incredible. Did the most amazing meditations and did some inner child work which was extraordinary. Vanessa is extremely talented and the quality of this retreat is second to none. The love and care put into it was superb and I definitely came home happier, chilled out and in love with myself... again! What a tonic - for anyone who wants fulfillment or to achieve a more positive outlook on life and themselves; the experience is a must for everyone! Thank you to two of the most amazing people on the earth. Namaste x
Thank you Louise, we are so glad you brought your magical energy along to the beach retreat in India for a second time. It was a total pleasure to host you and we hope to see you again.
