THE BEAUTY OF CAMBODIA
Each temple consists of multiple enclosures, embodying the three worlds, the five elements and the whole journey of consciousness. The vibration of Vedic mantras resonated continuously through these stone megaliths, magnifying the power of healing, protection and abundance. During your retreat you will have the opportunity to visit these ancient wonders.
The Ancient Temple Pyramids of Angkor are Shrouded in Mystery.
These powerful stone pyramids were built in perfect harmony with the cosmos, creating a bridge between the world of man and the world of the Gods. When seen from above we can appreciate the perfection of these mandalas, like ancient computer chips, for storing and emanating the supreme power.

What Our Guests Say About Us
Just do it
Okay let's break it down 1. Amazing food 2. Beautifully landscaped area that really allows for peace of mind (think resort meets homestay) 3. A program that transforms you if you let it The whole place is curated to allow you to confront whatever you need to confront. I'm not a very spiritual person and I was pretty hesitant, but I'm so glad that I came here. Just do it, it's pretty hard to describe what happens when you just show up and silence all the noise

Life affirming experience!
I traveled to Cambodia to meet my daughter (who was traveling throughout South East Asia and attend the Harihatalaya retreat. It was an incredible, transformative experience. I needed to start healing from many stresses and despair in life and this retreat was a beautiful starting point. I am forever grateful to the retreat teachers, staff and the amazing other people I met on this journey. .

Where do I even begin? Hariharalaya is like living in a dream. My time in the retreat was like nothing I’ve ever seen. The program is so well done, from the absolutely beautiful facilities, to the professional knowledgeable and fun staff to delicious meals!
My experience was so rich and beautiful and the teachings of stillness and mindfulness will be with me for life! Big love to Joel and his team! I’ll be back.
