Near the ancient temples of Angkor in a traditional Khmer farming village, Hariharalaya has spent fifteen years refining a single six-day programme that has now reached over sixteen thousand participants from more than a hundred countries. Founded by Lokta Joel Altman, whose practice draws from Buddhist, Yogic, and Khmer traditions, the retreat runs digital-free throughout: no Wi-Fi, no social media, just daily Integral Yoga, pranayama, sitting meditation, plant-based Cambodian cooking prepared from local markets, and a community rhythm that includes an Angkor Wat sunrise meditation and a traditional water blessing by Buddhist monks.
A resident team of healers including acupuncturists, craniosacral therapists, sound healers, and shamanic practitioners deepens the work for those who want it. What repeatedly appears in guest accounts across fifteen years is the same word: home.
