Retreat in India October 5 - 9, 2024

This retreat will delve into the teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi(1879-1950), one of the most respected Indian sages of the 20th century. We will visit the famous ashram in Tamil Nadu in South India where people came from all over the world to sit with him in loving silence and is still visited today by many spiritual seekers. We will have conversations about the essence of Sri Ramana’s teachings and practice meditation together. There will also be visits to the temples and holy sites in the area. Although the program will not be strenuous, it is not meant to be a sight-seeing excursion but a spiritual journey for those who are genuinely interested. Time will be set aside each day for meditation.

Participation will be limited to a small number of participants in order to ensure a focused and intimate atmosphere for the meditation and reflections.
