      • “After years in finance, this retreat gave me the reset I didn’t know I needed. The care from the TCM team and the quiet power of nature brought exactly the deep renewal I’d been seeking.”

        Sarah B. | Sydney, Australia

        Michael T. | San Francisco, USA

      • “I’ve been on other trips in China that felt rushed, crowded, and surface-level—this was nothing like that. As a solo traveler, I felt truly seen. Every part of the retreat—the rituals, the meditative hikes, even the meals—invited a quiet presence I hadn’t felt in years.”
