Background:
Three Jordanian sisters are turning the wellness world upside down with their unique approach to retreats, combining introspection with joyous expression. Lara, Tania, and Maya Kalla have created Wellness and Wildness, a series of retreats where participants can meditate at dawn and dance under the stars by night.
Their journey began with yoga as a personal refuge and evolved into a shared calling. “Opportunities knock on your door. You just have to know when to grab them,” says Lara Kalla. What started as a private practice soon became a collective gift for connection. Participants find themselves unburdening and opening up in ways they never expected, turning each retreat into a sanctuary of growth and belonging.
The retreats are carefully designed to balance wellness, yoga, breathwork, and meditative workshops, with wildness, spontaneous dancing, shared meals, and lively social experiences. Tania Kalla describes her role as amplifying joy: “If there’s joy, I take it to even further joy.” Their events are luxurious, yet the real focus is on human connection, offering moments that leave lasting impressions.
One of the retreats’ special workshops, the Japanese Kintsugi heart exercise, lets participants reflect on their own struggles, break a ceramic heart, and repair it with gold, a symbol of personal growth and resilience.
Looking ahead, the sisters plan couples’ retreats, trips to the Swiss Alps, and seaside escapes in Greece, taking care to maintain a slow and thoughtful pace.
Thanks to their dedication and strong sisterly bond, the Kallas have created more than retreats; they have made a place where people can relax, connect with themselves, and enjoy life.
