““We feel lucky to be able to share this beautiful, unspoiled part of the world with others. “”
Katie Gordon
Natural surroundings mean Purusha is a calm and tranquil place that has contributed to Katie’s own healing in the past.
She has a creative background with a first class degree in textile design. She has previously worked as a visual merchandiser in an international brand. Katie has a passion for working with others and for community projects. Her desire is to make Purusha a place where creativity can combine with wellbeing, using nature as a backdrop to deliver joyful and revitalising experiences. Her hope is that Purusha is a place of rejuvenation, self-development, creativity and collaboration. Perhaps most importantly - she wants to offer a joyful place where kindness is valued above all else. Katie looks forward to welcoming you to come and celebrate, relax, rejuvenate or just to be with us at Purusha Retreats.

He has now chosen to travel with his wife Lou and their family and will always be part of the spirit of Purusha Retreats.
Lou Hounsfield
Lou has a passion for wanting to share and bring some form of wellbeing to all. Lou’s belief that compassion is key to create a safe and welcoming environment. This is what lead Lou to create Purusha Retreats with Tom, as she saw a place filled with love and light which she wanted others to have the chance to enjoy.
Lou has chosen to travel with Tom and their family and will always be part of the spirit of Purusha Retreats.
