Contribution and DatesA Personal Encounter with Shunyamurti
This retreat is a precious opportunity to receive initiation from Shunyamurti directly—an encounter that can shift your vibrational frequency immediately to the Presence of divine light and love. This in turn can bring full realization of your God-Self.
Designed to open your heart and mind to be filled with the Light of the Supreme Real, these compact events also feature wisdom classes, meditation training, and optional meetings with an individual counselor.
Included
Private Darshan with Shunyamurti
In your profound meeting with Shunyamurti, you can ask your most personal and urgent questions and receive direct guidance and affirmation of your Being. If you want to sustain inner peace and luminous clarity, this session can prove to be a turning point.
Core Curriculum Module Classes
Small-group classes delve into the core modules of our wisdom-school curriculum. Designed to help you deconstruct the false self and be free of the suffering it causes, these tutorials offer clear insights into your subconscious attachments, empowering you to drop the ego illusion and return to your true nature of illumined Consciousness.
Meditation Gatherings
We gather several times daily for group meditation sittings. Cultivate stillness, serene joy, and an ever-deepening connection to your Supreme Source.
Ashram Tours
Learn about the ashram's food-growing and sustainability practices on our popular prema-culture tour, which explains our unique approach to permaculture infused with divine love (prema). Visit our thriving greenhouses and magical food gardens to learn how we cultivate organic produce in harmony with Nature and Spirit.
Walks in Nature
Wander through our sacred landscape and discover how every tree, stream, and breeze carries the whisper of the Absolute. You may meet fascinating birds, butterflies, sloths, or monkeys during such contemplative walks. As you attune to the rhythms of Nature, let the power of the energy field saturate your soul with healing grace.
Evening Community Classes
Evenings bring a variety of events, which may include a documentary or feature film, a deep dive into recent teachings, or a tranquil guided meditation.
Nourishing Vegetarian Cuisine
Our hearty vegetarian meals are prepared with fresh ingredients, mostly sourced from our own gardens and farms. We offer vegan and gluten-free options to those on special diets.
Charming Cabin Accommodations
Nestled within our vibrant tropical gardens, our cottages, or bhavans, provide the perfect environment for meditation and relaxation. We offer private rooms with balconies overlooking the surrounding nature. Deluxe rooming options are available for an additional fee. Please contact our Visit Coordinator for special accommodation requests.
“All it takes is a single moment of awakening to the all-pervading grace of Presence to change one’s life forever.” ~ Shunyamurti
