Sakshi by the Ganga
This is an invitation to come back to yourself.

I created this retreat with an intent to hold a safe space for people to simply be. To reconnect with their true self, deepen their practice, and shed layers that no longer serve them. Nine days by the Ganga and the Himalayas, surrounded by a small circle of like-minded souls who understand that same pull toward stillness. A place to simply be, together.

And what better time to do it than during Diwali, the festival of lights? 🪔

My hope is simple: that you leave here nourished, reconnected, and glowing a little brighter than when you arrived.

Sakshi

What Awaits You

Space to receive

Yoga and meditation shala with mats set for practice

Stillness & Practice

Yoga, meditation, and sound baths. Unhurried days that ask nothing of you but to be present in the moment.

Evening circle by the fire

Like-Minded Community

A small, intentional circle of kindred spirits. Shared meals, shared laughter, and the ease of effortless connection.

Thali of organic, farm-fresh food served during the retreat

Nourishment

Organic, farm-fresh meals throughout. Rest built into the days. A place to be nourished, in every sense.
