More than a retreat, this is an exercise in Sacred Community…

An interspiritual gathering rooted in the lineage of Ram Dass and Neem Karoli Baba and centering the teachings of Bhakti Yoga and Buddhism.

Anchored with mantra, meditation, and ritual, the core practice of this retreat is Sacred Community. We practice seeing the Divine everywhere—in nature, in each other, and in ourselves—and we act in reverence to this Truth. In this way, we help each other awaken from separation and into the Heart of Love.

Who we are is deeper than our thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, or social roles. These are like clouds happening within the sky of our Awareness. As we awaken to this, we learn that this Awareness is not isolated to our own mind. It is the fabric of Reality and the Relational Web that connects us. Ram Dass called this Loving-Awareness. As Pavan Das says, “Just as sunlight is warm, our Awareness is naturally loving.”

By gathering in Satsang (spiritual community) and engaging in sadhana (practice), we gain Darshan (vision) and behold this Love everywhere.

“I’ve attended one of Natasha’s Ayurvedic and Yoga retreats, and it was everything you could hope for … well-crafted yoga asana classes that targeted each of the 3 Ayurvedic constitutions, a wealth of information to give you a healthy head-start in going down the Ayurvedic path, as well as helpful dietary suggestions and an introduction to oleation/oil massages. The entire program was well-researched and super-organized in addition to being entertaining and thought-provoking. Natasha’s retreat was definitely the catalyst for me to take a more Ayurvedic-centred approach to my health and well-being.”
