JOIN OUR TRANSFORMATION LUXURY RETREAT IN MAURITIUS THIS JULY

7 – 13 July 2025 (6 nights, 7 days)

The famed 5-star LUX* Grand Gaube hotel in Mauritius’ northeast coast

           

This transformative Body, Mind, Soul Retreat has been thoughtfully put together by Anina Malherbe-Lan who will be your host, guide and mentor during this retreat, together with her husband Dr Michael Lan, a gifted energy healer, Chinese Medicine doctor and QiGong & TaiQi Master. The main modalities of the retreat will be Meditation, QiGong and Wisdom Teachings, inspired by The Tao and the unseen realms. On this retreat you will learn how your body really functions as an electric energy being connected to all that is (based on ancient asian wisdom teachings) and how to move Qi, or energy, within your body and on the outside, something that is invaluable during the times we find ourselves in as everything on the planet is transforming.

The retreat was inspired by Anina’s wide range of experiences running various businesses for more than 18 years, coupled with her own transformation when she decided to exit the ‘matrix’ or rat race as some call it. Her insatiable interest in natural wellness, psychology, hidden truths and personal transformation, fuelled by her own wellness journey over 20 years including a spiritual awakening, is what ultimately inspired her to focus her efforts on helping others through a series of annual retreats hosted in high-frequency locations around the world. Knowing how powerful the gifts are that her healer husband holds, her wish is help others transform by offering the combination of her and her husband’s experiences, abilities and knowledge in one retreat format, and what better way than to offer that experience in an exotic, high-frequency ‘earth vortex’ location like Mauritius in a beautiful high-end resort. Anina and Dr Lan has a long history with Mauritius and with their life experiences make for the perfect yin and yang team to help you on your transformational journey and help you meet your personal goals, as they enter the 3rd year of hosting these destination retreats.

This is a retreat that will help you transform your life and connect your body, mind and soul as one. It will leave you empowered to be your own guide and healer after your departure, instead of always being dependant on outside healers, gurus and masters, which in itself can be somewhat disempowering. Our goal is to empower you with tools and daily practices that will allow you to continue your further evolution and transformation after you leave this retreat, as we prepare to enter higher consciousness as a planet with the birth of the Golden Age of Aquarius.

Our destination is the famed 5-star LUX* Grand Gaube Resort, which is located on a pristine private beach on the northeast coast of Mauritius, one of the most beautiful and lush islands in the Indian Ocean. The island of Mauritius contains a powerful earth vortex, something that is evident when you set foot on this magical island and feel its powerful energy.

 

At LUX* Grand Gaube you will experience unparalleled laid back luxury and elegance, nestled at the edge of a breath-taking lagoon. LUX’s tiered thatched hideaways offer a picturesque retreat, with each room overlooking three aquamarine bays framed by graceful filao trees. Prepare to be captivated by the spectacular views and potent energy, as the lagoon stretches out before you, adorned with the glistening jewels of the north coast islets on the exquisite island of Mauritius.

Synchronistically, the area of Grand Gaube on the island’s beautiful northeast coast, whilst close to Grand Baie’s popular shops and restaurants, is also the perfect quiet hideaway, far away from all the traffic, noisy tourists and parties found in many other areas on the island. Perfect for a transformational experience like no other.

LUX* Grand Gaube is a 5-star resort for those seeking a wellness travel and transformational experience like no other. Offering privacy and laid back luxury, each suite, residence and villa at Lux Grand Gaube is a labour of love of interior designer Kelly Hoppen, who designed the resort to look like an interior designer’s holiday home. Settle in, relax and sunbathe, before embarking on your daily transformational retreat experience. Afterwards, take a dip in one of the pools, visit the spa, or just do nothing— feel free to make yourself at home as your wellness and transformation journey unfolds.

 

The entry level Superior Room at LUX*, which is what our retreat package is based on, is 51 sqm in size, allowing you to comfortably relax and retreat whenever you like, as if in your own private beach bungalow. Every corner of the resort is carefully considered to create a down to earth luxury like no other.

 

Your transformational retreat experience is marked by an authentic, masterful
guided programme of activities and wisdom teachings to empower you to affect change in your own life and transform how you see the world. This is not one of these superficial retreats filled with trendy trinkets and cool sounding activities that leave you right where you started before the retreat. This is the real deal. Expect to go deep, and to discover the power of your own soul like never before. At the end of the day, no one can transform you. Only you can. And you do that by doing the work. This retreat holds the space for that sacred process without too many distractions or superficial practices that sounds great on paper but don’t hold real permanent transformational potential. You’ll have the opportunity to go deep within on this retreat, whilst learning much about your own body, mind and soul. Personal transformation doesn’t happen when you escape. It happens when you surrender yourself to the journey. When you let go of control. When you allow yourself to enter that zero point. Magical things happen when you simply surrender and allow, and the practices that make up this retreat, will allow you to do just that.

   

Incorporating Dr Michael Lan’s more than 30 years of experience in energy healing, Chinese Medicine, and mentoring and guiding people from all over the world and from all walks of life, combined with Anina’s vast experience dealing with thousands of people during both her business and spiritual educational journey, you will experience and learn a daily transformative practice of Meditation and QiGong that you will be able to take with you wherever you go after you depart. Practicing these sacred arts on a high-vibrational island such as Mauritius, adds to the experience in a very powerful way – one that will imprint the memory of transformation into your cells forever. Guidance to help you transform your life and detach from all the false constructs, will ultimately help you to take control of your life and the direction it charts. These are the teachings that will be transmitted on a daily basis during our various sacred practices and the discussions we will be having as a group of likeminded seekers.

On arrival at your destination, Anina & Dr Lan will take you through what you can expect on the retreat, along with a session of getting to know one another within the group. The retreat will purposefully be kept intimate, with no more than 10-15 participants. You will have a 45 minute consultation with both Anina and Dr Lan to discuss your goals for the retreat as well as any concerns you might have which you’d like to address and work on. The two sessions will be set up in-between activities on a first come first serve basis as early as possible into your retreat.

Upon waking up in the mornings, you will enjoy Anina’s Famous Morning Elixir with fruit by LUX* to start your day, and then embark on a few minutes of Sun Gazing before our Morning Meditation led by Dr Lan.

After meditation we will gather for Tea & Tao where we will partake in a session of Wisdom Teachings by Dr Lan incorporating the ancient Taoist philosophy, Buddhist teachings and the original Chinese Medicine concepts far beyond the modern teachings, all of which will allow you to better understand the various physical conditions and markers and how you can harmonise them within the body.

After that, we will enjoy a buffet breakfast courtesy of LUX*. We are encouraging you to focus on healthy food choices, as much as possible, such as fresh, light-filled nutritious food. Since this is a half board package that includes breakfast and dinner, we encourage you to make sure you have enough fuel for the day at breakfast, and that you have some snacks or fruit in the room in case you get hungry during the day. Should you choose to have a light lunch with the resort, feel free to do so on your own account.

After that you will have an opportunity to take a swim and have some free time to help you connect with the energy of the island. We highly recommend daily ocean swims to help clear and move energy within the body and soak up the healing spirit of the Indian Ocean. There are also various activities offered by the resort such as kayaking, scuba diving and sea plane flights.

In the afternoon, we will resume our practice. After a session of wisdom teachings, we will start our QiGong practice. Qigong literally means ‘Energy Work’. It is an art that is relatively easy to learn (at least the basics), but it holds the space for a continuous unfolding within a person, allowing you to unlock your own wisdom and healing within. It’s a magical practice many people continue daily for the rest of their life…  It’s designed to become part of your life and guides the way you hold yourself in the world As your sensitivity to energy grows, you will learn how to move, cultivate and circulate energy within the body, through each meridian and organ system. Only when your body is totally relaxed and in harmony, can you achieve higher states of consciousness, and QiGong, also known as ‘moving meditation’ can help you unlock everything that was stagnant within the body or mind, whether that is stuck emotional energy, a physical ailment, disharmony or chronic disease. QiGong helps you discover the body’s own organic technology, which, once unlocked, can help you access the higher realms at will. QiGong can be practiced by almost anyone, and can be customised to help each person achieve what they need to in order to balance their mind, body and spirit. It should be noted that the type of QiGong Dr Lan teaches is not the modern diluted types, but the ancient forms passed on verbally and through practice, from master to master. It is hard to find in a world filled with quick fix solutions driven mainly by ego…
