OUR STORY
About Studio 11
Studio 11 Wellness was born from a simple conviction: real transformation happens in community — when people feel truly held, seen, and free to grow at their own pace.
As the official travel partner for Farhad Khan Sound + Wellness, we bring meaningful wellness retreats to destinations around the world — and as a full-service travel planning team, we bring that same care to every trip we touch.
We believe travel should be easy to step into and meaningful in its impact. Whether you join one of our retreats or plan your next trip with us, you'll find the same approach: small groups, real attention to detail, and genuine care for your wellbeing at every stage.
OUR STORY
How This Began
Since 2023, Darrell has worked alongside Farhad to bring his sound and wellness experiences to a growing community of people ready for something more. What started as local events and workshops became a shared vision: retreats that don't just take people somewhere beautiful, but genuinely change them.
That's where the butterfly comes in. It's not just our symbol — it's our reason. Transformation isn't instant. It takes the right space, the right support, and the willingness to let go of what no longer serves you. Every retreat we build is designed to hold that process — for everybody, wherever they are on their own journey.

Farhad Khan
Farhad Khan is the creative visionary and experiential architect behind each Studio 11 journey.
A sound practitioner, yoga teacher (E-RYT 500, 10,000+ hours), breathwork practitioner, meditation guide, and life coach, Farhad brings over two decades of dedicated study and facilitation to his work. In 2007, he founded a Yoga & Wellness Studio in North Vancouver, and has since trained with respected teachers around the world — from ashrams across India to studios throughout North America and Europe.
Through his work at Farhad Khan Sound (www.farhadkhansound.com), he has led immersive local and international retreats for nearly twenty years, guiding individuals and executive teams alike into deeper clarity, regulation, and connection.
His mastery of crystal alchemy bowls, gongs, handpan, and chimes creates transformative sound experiences that support nervous-system regulation, emotional release, and spiritual reconnection. Yet what distinguishes Farhad most is not only his technical mastery — it is the quality of presence he brings into a space.
Having personally navigated anxiety and depression, Farhad teaches from lived wisdom and radical compassion. He understands that transformation is not performance — it is remembrance.
His gift is not simply facilitation.
It is experience architecture.
He shapes the emotional rhythm of each retreat so that participants feel grounded, expanded, and deeply supported — held in a space where insight can arise naturally.

Darrell Wahl
Darrell Wahl is the strategic partner and operational architect behind Studio 11 Wellness.
As a licensed travel advisor and seasoned business leader, Darrell brings structure, foresight, and financial clarity to every experience we create. His role is not simply logistics — it is stewardship.
He oversees international partnerships, hand-picked properties, river cruise coordination, contracts, guest experience flow, and the intricate details that most never see — yet deeply feel.
Darrell understands that true ease is engineered.
From early planning conversations to final room assignments, from payment structures to on-the-ground coordination, he ensures that every element aligns with the larger vision. Precision allows presence. Structure allows spaciousness.
His leadership creates the invisible framework that supports Farhad’s experiential design — so that when guests arrive, they are not thinking about details. They are fully inside the experience.
Nothing is accidental.
Nothing is left unresolved.
What feels effortless has been carefully considered.
Together
Together, we design retreats and travel experiences that feel natural, grounded, and full of care.
Our guests trust that when they step into one of our journeys — whether a destination retreat, a European river cruise, or a private executive immersion — the experience has been shaped with intention.
What remains is presence.
Connection.
And space to return to what matters most.
