JOIN US.

Embark on an unforgettable sacred journey through the heart of Northern India, where ancient traditions, vibrant culture and deep spirituality intertwine.

This once-in-a-lifetime retreat is designed to immerse you in the richness of India’s spiritual heritage. We’ve teamed up with an incredible mother-daughter duo who bring years of expertise and deep local knowledge to guide, host and embrace us.

More than just a trip - it’s an opportunity to reconnect with yourself, lean into the wisdom of an ancient land, and return home with a sense of purpose and clarity.

Here’s what’s in store for you —

  • Sacred Sites & Rituals: Experience powerful ceremonies at some of India’s most revered temples and holy places. Participate in time-honored rituals that have been practiced for centuries. We’ll also be there for Holi - the traditional festival to welcome spring with vibrant colors and absolute joy!

  • Spiritual Immersion: Engage in diverse, traditional practices that aid in connecting us to the awe and wonder of spirit. From meditation to chanting mantras, vedic numerology to sacred geometry; we’ll blend it all together for a rich, deep understanding and how to weave it into your life back home.

  • Yoga & Healing Practices: Align your body and mind with daily yoga, pranayama and other traditional healing modalities designed to ground and transform you.

  • Cultural Exploration: Wander through bustling markets, witness the breathtaking beauty of India’s landscapes and enjoy the most delicious food; our hosts are incredible cooks themselves and will be sharing their secrets through cooking lessons while staying at their home in Haridwar!

  • Expert Guidance: We are with you, every step of the way - from pick up to drop off and everywhere in between. Our itinerary gives you space to explore while also providing you a retreat that is rich with insight and meaning.

Our Itinerary

March 1 — Arrive in Delhi

Settle in with a nice meal and an overnight at a local hotel.

March 2-6 — Haridwar

Experience a city like no other. Gorgeous temples and riverside rituals of epic proportion; it’s here we’ll celebrate Holi, learn sacred geometry and numerology, eat amazing home-cooked meals (and learn how to do it ourselves), practice yoga every day and experience amazing markets.

March 7-10 — Rishikesh

A short drive from Haridwar, we’ll stay in a private, boutique hotel overlooking the Himalayas. Renowned as the ‘Yoga Capital of the World’ this serene city attracts yogis, seekers and adventurers alike. Here we’ll visit ancient caves, temples and ruins, the Beatles Ashram, meditate and linger on the banks of the Ganga River and sink deeply into practices.

March 11-13 — Varanasi

A quick flight from Delhi and we’re in one of the oldest continually inhabited cities in the world! A truly mystical, sacred city, Varansi is not to be missed; a place where life and death exist in sacred harmony. We’ll embark on a sunrise boat ride as the city comes to life, observe rites and rituals that are truly unforgettable, amble through the labrynth-like alleys of the old city filled with temples, silk weavers and hidden shrines.

March 14 — Return to Delhi

Enjoy a closing dinner together. Depart.
