Annual gatherings at Espacio Khungi — our spiritual sanctuary for weaving our collective prayer. Ceremony, expert facilitation, and integration held as a tribe under a high-mountain sky.
Once or twice a year we open a larger container — 14 to 24 people, five to seven days, lakeside in the highlands. Where homestays are intimate and bespoke, Khungi is communal and seasonal: a tribe forming around a shared intention.
The structure is consistent — opening circle, daily somatic and breathwork practice, a ceremonial centerpiece, integration, and a closing — and the theme of each gathering shifts with the season and the people who arrive.
Khungi itself is a working ceremonial center on the lake, built by friends and held by people we have trusted for over a decade.

I came in as a stranger and left feeling like I'd found a chapter of my own family I didn't know I had. The work was deep. The aftercare was deeper.
The ceremonial container at Khungi is the safest I've ever sat in, and I've sat in many. You can feel the years that have gone into building it.
What I didn't expect was how much the tribe itself became the medicine. Six months later we're still in weekly contact. That doesn't happen by accident.
Every seat at Khungi is held through a short application and a 30-minute call. We hold the container carefully; we want to know who’s arriving.
