“Gardens of Sophia” – coming soon…

opening dates to be announced

The name “Gardens of Sophia” encapsulates the essence of this healing space, drawing inspiration from both nature and wisdom. The term “Sophia” derives from the Greek word for wisdom, symbolizing a deep understanding and connection to life, healing, and balance.

Located amidst a jungle in North Goa, this small day retreat mirrors a garden — lush, alive, and brimming with life. It becomes a metaphorical “Garden of Sophia,” where visitors can find wisdom and rejuvenation through nature and therapies.

The therapies offered — acupuncture, red light therapy, sound therapy, essential oils, yoga, and Ayurvedic medicines — all work synergistically, much like the elements of a thriving garden. Each therapy nurtures a different aspect of the self, allowing for holistic growth and healing.

Visitors are not only treated but also educated about their well-being, empowering them to carry the wisdom of health and self-care into their everyday lives.

Throughout history, gardens have been seen as sacred places of retreat, contemplation, and healing. They are where humanity reconnects with the earth and the divine, aligning with the spiritual undertones of this healing space.

The name honors the nurturing, intuitive, and healing qualities often associated with the feminine divine, creating a welcoming, compassionate environment for all visitors.

Nestled in the tranquil jungles of North Goa, away from the bustling tourist hubs, lies a serene healing sanctuary designed to restore harmony between the mind, body, and spirit. Surrounded by lush greenery and the soothing sounds of nature, this small yet intimate space offers a blend of ancient wisdom and modern therapies.
