Overview: Homecoming’s six-day retreat is more than a getaway; it’s a guided journey through our four foundational pillars: Discover, Release, Invent, and Charge. Each day is carefully crafted to encourage self-reflection, foster meaningful connections, and spark personal growth. The retreat combines rich cultural and historical insights, rejuvenating wellness workshops, delicious cuisine, exceptional accommodations, and, most importantly, the warm presence of local hosts who will share their unique perspectives on life in Dali, making you feel truly at home..
Nestled in the foothills of Cangshan Mountain, Fengyu is a serene town located in Dali, Yunnan Province, in the southwestern part of China. Known for its breathtaking landscapes and rich cultural heritage, this region has long been a meeting point for diverse traditions, sitting at the crossroads of ancient trade routes.
The Bai people, who have called this region home for generations, embody a way of life steeped in balance and connection—values that resonate deeply with the goals of our retreat. Fengyu’s rich cultural heritage is celebrated through festivals like San Yue Jie, a vibrant event that highlights the Bai’s harmonious relationship with nature and community. From traditional tea ceremonies to exquisite craftsmanship, every aspect of life here reflects mindfulness, gratitude, and unity.
At Homecoming, we believe in guiding individuals toward growth through exploration and understanding. This retreat encourages you to step out of your comfort zone while grounding yourself in clarity and purpose. Through intentional experiences and mindful practices, we create a space where curiosity meets insight, empowering you to find harmony within yourself and the world.
Our retreat is for curious souls seeking personal growth, cultural immersion, and meaningful connections. If you’re ready to explore, reflect, and transform, this journey is for you.
