Shaanti is a culmination of the dreams of many people, an anthropologist, an engineer, a yogi, a Dutch artist, a filmmaker, an economist, a musician, a spiritual seeker and a social entrepreneur. More importantly it included the dreams of local artisans of Kwale, the bricklayers, the masons, the artists, the candle stick makers and many more. To all we say a great big "Asante" for bringing in their collective energy to create this haven of peace
Surrounded by this energy, the concept of Shaanti Holistic Health Retreat was born.. After that, a universal flow took over with a wave of serendipitous events. The right manager, the right yoga therapist and practitioner, the right designer, landscape artist and local artisans from Kwale came to us as if they had lain in wait for just such a project. As with all the staff working at Shaanti, they all had something unique and special about them and were driven by the same compassionate energy for people and health, for well being and quality, for service and trust.
