Read MoreAwakening Your Inner Compass: A Taste of Kundalini Yoga

Brewed with intention and shared in stillness, this chai was the heartbeat of our mornings at The Good Energy Retreat. Each spice carries warmth, grounding, and a quiet joy — cardamom for clarity, cinnamon for comfort, ginger for awakening. As the aroma rises, may it remind you to pause, breathe deeply, and sip in the good energy that’s always within reach.
