Why join this pilgrimage?
Your Deep Dive: A 9-Day Journey of Self-Discovery
Designed for those ready to commit more time to their well-being, this nine-day retreat offers a slower, more immersive pace, providing ample space to deepen your yoga practice genuinely.
​
Our approach is exploratory and inclusive, meaning you'll journey with fellow participants to discover and engage with various spiritual practices and concepts together. This isn't about rigid adherence, but about personal discovery and shared learning.
​
Together, we’ll move through a rich tapestry of yogic disciplines:
​
-
Bhakti: Cultivate heartfelt devotion & divine connection.
-
Jnana: Gain wisdom through shared discussions & gentle inquiry.
-
Kirtan: Open your heart with communal chanting.
-
Karma: Discover the joy of mindful action & selfless service.
-
Dhyana: Explore meditation to quiet the mind.
-
Asana: Strengthen & align your body with daily yoga.
-
Pranayama: Harmonise your energy through breath work.
​
This is a truly exceptional opportunity to delve deeper into the practices of Bhakti yoga and experience them in an environment where they are traditionally and authentically lived.
You'll reconnect with your inner Godliness and nourish yourself—spiritually, mentally, and physically—through a wide variety of time-honoured yoga tools.
This journey is a chance to align your mind, body, and spirit, guiding you back to your naturally uplifted, joyful, and connected state.
Immerse Yourself in Authentic Ashram Life
Your pilgrimage beautifully coincides with the vibrant Holi festival, a truly spectacular time of exuberant celebration and colour. Vrindavan comes alive during Holi, and while this makes for an unforgettable experience, it also means the ashram can become very busy. We highly recommend booking your spot as soon as possible to secure your place.
​
Life within the ashram offers a profound immersion into a loving, family-feeling community. You’ll find yourself surrounded by the rhythms of Bhakti practices happening multiple times throughout the day, creating a consistently uplifting atmosphere. The ashram will provide you with three satvic vegetarian meals daily, prepared with care. While the ashram rooms are intentionally humble and straightforward, reflecting the spiritual focus, air-conditioned rooms are available for an additional cost if you prefer.
​
Vrindavan itself is unlike any other city, known globally for its deep devotion. For over 70 years, the Maha Mantra (Hare Krishna mantra) has been chanted continuously, 24 hours a day, filling the air with an almost palpable energy that is incredibly vibrant and alive. This constant sound current creates a unique spiritual ambience you'll feel from the moment you arrive.
