Celebration & Rejuvenation: a sacred pilgrimage
Come discover the jewels of your soul on a sacred pilgrimage to the birth place of yoga: India.
Home to the Rishis “the ones who see”, to ancient yogic teachings and text, the energy in India is rich and supportive of your evolution.
Join me this fall, November 4 to 15th, in the foothills of the Himalayas for a retreat that is nourishing on all levels.
On this year’s pilgrimage, we will begin our time by gathering in celebration of life with conscious community from around the world for this year’s 7th annual Sattva Summit.
Each day while at the Summit, you’ll have the opportunity to practice and learn Yoga in its fullest expression from a variety of Master Teachers, including my teacher, Anand Mehrotra. Days during the Summit begin with conscious rituals and meditation, and include Yoga journeys, workshops, wisdom talks, excursions and cultural performances to experience all that this vibrant and diverse country has to offer.
Immediately following the Summit, we’ll spend 5 days at an Ayurvedic retreat center. There, you’ll get to meet one-on-one with the Vaidya (Ayurvedic doctor) to receive pulse diagnosis and to design your personalized treatment plan. Over the course of 3 full days, you will receive 6 traditional Ayurvedic treatments based on your own constitution that nourish your body, mind and soul, allowing you to experience balance of being. We’ll gather together to explore the basics of Ayurveda and how integrating this ancient science can support you in living a healthy and happy life in our modern-day world.
While in India, we’ll visit sacred temples - both man made and nature constructed. You’ll have the opportunity to participate in a sacred dipping ritual in the Ganges River as well as a Ganga Aarti ceremony. And much, much more!
By the end of our time together, you’ll head home radiant and infused with the wisdom arising from this sacred land.
Limited space available!
This will be a very small group - If you have been feeling the call to join me in India, now is the time.
