Kerry Louise Fyans is partnering with 8 Chakras to bring RISE retreats to India and Scotland. Together, we are creating small-group experiences centred on reflection, connection and self-understanding.
The partnership grew from Smita’s own experience as Kerry’s student and retreat participant. That personal connection is where this next chapter begins.
