A home in the Sacred Valley for the retreat you have in mind
Up to 40 guests, spaces for circle and ceremony and a team that plans every detail with you. You lead your group. We take care of everything around it.
Where your group arrives, settles and opens
Melissa Wasi sits in La Rinconada, a quiet corner of Pisac a short walk from town, surrounded by eucalyptus, native flowers and the mountains of the Sacred Valley.
For more than fifteen years we have welcomed travelers, practitioners and retreat groups here. Reserve rooms for your group, or privatize the entire center for your dates.
A private home for your retreat in the Andes.
Rest among the gardens, in the heart of Pisac
Each room opens onto the gardens, with Andean weavings, warm wood and the quiet of the valley. Your group sleeps steps away from the shalas, so mornings begin slowly and evenings end by the fire.
Melissa Wasi welcomes up to 40 guests in 8 double rooms and 6 bungalows. The bungalows have their own living area with a sofa and a loft and the whole group shares a covered terrace with a hammock and a dining hall under wooden beams.
Room for every part of your program
Morning practice, evening circle, ceremony under the open sky.
Shala Sol
Our main circle space for about 20 to 25 people, with floor cushions, woven Andean rugs and a mezzanine above. Made for ceremony, sharing circles and long evenings together.
Shala Apu
An upstairs shala for about 10 to 15 people, with a wooden floor, floor cushions and windows over the mountains. Ideal for yoga, breathwork, meditation and teaching.
The gardens
Native plants, flowers and eucalyptus, with the mountains all around. A natural setting for ceremony, integration and quiet time between sessions.
