Festival’s objectives

A peaceful forest, full of joy, light and spirituality - this is the image

• Give the opportunity to gain knowledge and information from experts in various field,

whether it is in literature, music, ecology, environment, health or well being

Tapovan took its inspiration from Nalanda and Takshashila, ancient universities of

antic India, where studies not only developed the intellect but also sensibility,

emotions, creativity, psychological and spiritual openness to create an

« Open University of yoga and Ayurveda ».

Our main activities include:

•Seminars and courses (in Ayurveda, massage, yoga)

•Ayurvedic retreats and treatments
