5 Day Retreat in the lap of Himalayas.
Escape to the serene hills of Kausani for five days. Here is a meticulously organized environment created specifically to level up your awareness and consciousness. Designed for individuals seeking genuine spiritual growth, or simply a profound breakthrough from daily stress, this five-day journey introduces you to essential yogic and meditation practices.
Held within an authentic Vedic ashram in the serene hills of Kausani, this retreat offers a complete sanctuary—a fully favorable environment away from the noise and hassle of modern life. Your days are structured for rejuvenation, balancing daily asana, pranayama and meditation with sattvic food, deep relaxation, and holistic wisdom through sessions on Ayurveda, Astrology and much more. By the time you leave, you will have the knowledge and experience needed to relax, enjoy, and carry a permanently elevated sense of rejuvenation and self-awareness back into your life.
Highlights of the Retreat
The Sacred Pilgrimage: Excursions to Kasar Devi and Sun Temple
The Soul of the Retreat: Transcendental Meditation Initiation
A vital aspect of the Himalayan Sattva Retreat is our rejuvenating excursion to two of the region's most powerful sites: Kasar Devi Temple and the Katarmal Sun Temple. Kasar Devi is globally renowned as a mystical energy vortex, sitting on the Van Allen Belt alongside Machu Picchu and Stonehenge—a place where spiritual seekers, including Swami Vivekananda, have sought heightened states of awareness. Meditating here enhances the consciousness growth fostered by your retreat.
At the core of the Himalayan Sattva Retreat is the exclusive initiation into the profound technique of Transcendental Meditation (TM), often referred to simply as Dhyaan in Hindi. This is not just another guided session; it is a formal, authorized initiation (or Diksha) into an ancient, time-tested meditation technique made globally renowned by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. By receiving this authentic course within the sacred environment of the Vedic ashram, you gain access to a tool for accessing deep rest and heightened inner awareness. This technique is practiced effortlessly, allowing the mind to naturally settle to its quietest state, dissolving stress and unlocking your full potential—a life-long practice that will continue to yield benefits long after your five days in Kausani are complete.
We follow this with a visit to the ancient Sun Temple, a majestic 9th-century architectural marvel dedicated to Surya, the Sun God, symbolizing the light of self-knowledge. This day of sacred travel, complete with an authentic Kumauni Thali lunch, provides a perfect blend of profound spiritual energy and cultural immersion.
