Alila Hotels and Resorts has partnered with meditation expert Christian Kurmann to host a series of Mindful Leadership Retreats at its different resorts this autumn and winter. 

The first of the week-long resorts will be held at the Alila Manggis in Bali on September 19-25, followed by a second at the Alila Villas Soori, also in Bali, on October 26-November 2 and a third at the Alila Jabal Akhdar in Oman on November 30-December 6. 

The retreats will include various meditative excursions and exercises, starting before sunrise and ending after sunset. They will take a holistic, body and mind, approach to wellbeing, including offering participants consultations on their leadership abilities. 
 
The cuisine on the retreat will be adapted to the personal needs of the individual, by chefs and nutritionists. The Alila Villas Soori retreat on October 26-November 2 will be for women only, while the Alila Manggis and the Alila Jabal Akhdar retreats will be open to both men and women.
