About the Gathering

Circle & Path is a monthly reflective retreat — a shared space for discovery, reconnection, and a return to joy.

This month we turn to Smile, which is all about the ease of living well. Hari Nair will expand on the integral nature of personal care, intimacy, and fitness. Two Leela Life specialists will lead us through profound explorations of laughter and tantra.

5×5 Framework · “Smile”

To smile is to live with inner lightness, care, and connection. In Indic traditions, the state of joy is reached not only through the mind but also through the body, relationships, service, and devotion. This focus area gathers the practices that sustain a cheerful, radiant presence.
