Participants meditate near elephants to combine mindfulness and wildlife interaction.

Kerala has launched Elephant Meditation Circles, offering guided mindfulness sessions near trained elephants. According to The Hindu, sessions combine breathing exercises, observation of gentle elephant behavior, and reflective practices for visitors.

Participants report calmness, stress reduction, and memorable experiences. Trainers ensure safety, animal welfare, and structured guidance. Critics question novelty versus conservation, but supporters highlight wellness benefits, cultural engagement, and tourism attraction. Future expansions include thematic meditations, group retreats, and interactive learning about elephant behavior.
