The Heart of the Retreat

Learn the ancient art of Kundalini.

This preparatory Diksha introduces participants to the Kundalini path through guided instruction, disciplined practice and a deeper understanding of the sādhanā involved.

“If there is one thing to know in this life, it is Kundalini.” Sadhvi Amrutha Ji
The Gathering

Four days devoted to preparation.

Through guided practice, lectures, meditation and time for reflection, participants can build a clearer understanding of the discipline and commitment involved in the Kundalini path.

The Setting · Almora, Kumaon

Welcome to the slow life.

In the lap of the Himalayas, let the days unfold at a gentler pace.

Nestled among the serene hills of Almora, beneath towering Himalayan trees and open skies, this is a place to return to nature. Wake to birdsong, wander along quiet forest paths, breathe in the crisp mountain air, and watch the stars emerge after dusk.

Your Himalayan home
Stay in a rustic European country house, surrounded by the natural beauty and spiritual heritage of Kumaon. Between guided practice and moments of reflection, find space to slow down, settle in, and turn your attention inward.
