Cure Monastery
In 2007, approx. 175 Km(109 mls) from Cochin, elevated in 1800m (almost 6000ft) we discovered a secluded Carmelite monastery remote to any civilization where monks are living in untouched nature, embedded in a magnificent landscape leading a contemplative life. With an average temperature of 25 C (77 F) the climate is most pleasant and more tolerable than the hot and humid coastal region.
Ayurveda in Paradise
In this decorated monastery and together with the Carmelite administration GlobalVeda realized a dream project, a dream come true to anybody with a true affinity to nature and Ayurveda. An Ayurveda partition was set up under the administration of competent and experienced ayurvedic doctors and therapists. For the time being 12 newly decorated rooms accommodate patients with a simple, yet western comfort. Not only the treatment itself is supposed to take it’s effects but the location’s magic with it’s nature, spiritual environment and biological food, food coming from an untouched nature on the one side, prepared to strict Ayurveda guidelines on the other. Meditation, Yoga, spiritual as well as mental guidance to your disposal will complement the program.
A place to get in touch with yourself
Patients at this health monastery get a unique opportunity to learn and practice the core of Ayurveda: to get in touch with your „self“ and your inner feelings without any external distraction, re-think your life in order to make necessary changes, to not only think about superficial symptoms of disease or fatigue, but to make basic and effective changes.
Vision and offer
In this location, exempt of climatic changes, overpopulation and industrialization we were able to realize a vision for you which was only possible to realize in approximation with cooperating, established Ayurveda clinics: top class medicine, undisturbed privacy, space, affordable prices, a location to “heal”. But we do not only want to practice Ayurveda. The Cure-Monastery is open to therapists and trainers who want to hold their own seminars at any time and want to accommodate their own clients.
Little discursions
Close to Marayoor there is a real little rainforest, one of the last heavily guarded sandalwood forests of India (a particular kind of tropical rainforest) with wild elephants and lots of intrinsic plants and animals unique to this part of the world. 5000 year old dolmen (pre-historic burial chambers) pay witness to a history of humans and nature living in harmony. To those of our patients which find it hard to consequently pursue the sanatory solitude or simply want to „just relax“ we offer little trekking tours to visit natives and get a glimpse of a world that seems to be on hold.
Cure - Monastery supports social work
It is a chance for Carmelites and their monasteries to continue social projects with villages and 'Tribals' (tribal cultures without any civil attachments) after an American main sponsor withdrew his support.
