(+ an optional Vrindavan extension Feb 4-8th)

with Kishori Gopi, Madhuri Pura Dasa & Friends

Join us…

…for a spiritual pilgrimage to the motherland of yoga — amazing India!

This once-in-a-lifetime immersive experience in the sacred atmosphere of India will grant you a powerful boost to your spiritual life and nourish your body, mind, and spirit. You will stay in first class hotels eating Ayurvedic meals each day!

Our journey…

…will begin virtually on Zoom before January 25th to develop an initial sense of community and comfort with one another. Afterward, we will fly to Mumbai to begin our retreat experience!

From Mumbai, we will travel to the award winning Govardhan Eco Village. Ayurvedic treatments, Cow therapy, and life changing Kirtans await our arrival.

After an immersion in Bhakti wisdom and Kirtan in sacred company at the transcendental flower festival & Govardhan Eco Village (GEV), we will fly to Rishikesh, the world center of yoga, for an adventure where we will bathe in the sacred river Ganges, hike to the top of the Himalayas, experience ancient ceremonies and venture into caves that date back thousands of years!

Some will choose to complete their pilgrimage here and venture back home with a revitalized sense of self, perspective, and connection to divinity.

For those that choose it, we offer an optional add on with a Vrindavan tour, February 4th - 8th. And you will fly out of Delhi back home!

Meet Your Guides

Kishori Gopi

Kishori Gopi is a spiritual teacher who is a conduit of divine love, and a vehicle for Krishna’s grace to heal and awaken. In this lifetime, her medicine is to help beings live radiantly and die gracefully through the practices of Bhakti Yoga, Meditation, Reiki, and End of Life Doula Work. She approaches both life and work with awareness, aliveness, and compassion. To her, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing another being remember and fall in love with their own true nature.

As a Bhakti Yogi, teacher & devotee, an integral aspect of her practice is chanting and leading Kirtan in her community in Burlington, VT. She describes Kirtan as group prayer, and a call out together for divinity to manifest. Through her teaching, she hopes to share the transformational effects of a practice rooted in Bhakti, divine love and devotion.

Madhuri Pura Dasa

Born and raised in a family of bhakti yogis, Madhu adopted a serious interest and desire to immerse in ancient spiritual culture at an early age. He decided to become a monk on his eighteenth birthday and dedicate his life to sharing this knowledge with others. For five years he lived in various monasteries, studying Vedic arts, sciences, and philosophy under world renowned teachers. He spent half of that time in India, traveling and immersing himself in the various holy sites.

After graduating from his monastic training and education, Madhu has built his own multi 6-figure business and serves as a conscious business and lifestyle coach. He has mentored hundreds of clients and students over the past decade, teaching bhakti, kirtan, Ayurveda, and spiritual entrepreneurship. He is passionate about making India’s spiritual culture and potency accessible to everyone, and has facilitated pilgrimages for dozens of sincere seekers looking to transform their lives.

Paramananda

Paramananda has been traversing the path of yoga for over 25 years. His journey towards higher consciousness started out early in life as a punk guitarist from the hardcore scene of New York City, where he spent his youth playing blaring rebel anthems in popular bands such as Youth of Today, Judge and Shelter, championing a straight edge lifestyle, vegetarianism and a positive mental attitude. During that time he also became interested in eastern spirituality, moving into ashrams to intensely study yoga, meditation and Vedic philosophy. He also made yearly pilgrimages to India, learning to live the life of a yogi from the culture where it all came from.

Rati Rasa Dasi

Rasa has been deeply studying nutrition and Ayurveda for over 7 years. She was diagnosed with a chronic, life-long illness at 3 years old. In her early teens, she became plant-based, and began to focus heavily on her diet. At 14 years old, her doctors announced her clear of the illness they initially thought would last a lifetime. Her interest in nutrition and its influence on health skyrocketed.

Always having a love for cooking, she attended Johnson & Wales private University, earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Culinary Nutrition. She has spent time traveling around India learning, and experiencing Ayurvedic healing techniques such as panchakarma and marma therapy.

Samyaprasa Dasa

Samyaprasa Dasa (“Shamya”) has practiced bhakti since 2009, took vows as an initiated devotee in 2013 and served as a brahmacari monk between 2014-2021. In that time he studied the Bhakti scriptures in Sanskrit and Bengali, distributed Bhakti and trained as a spiritual teacher. He currently leads classes on practicing Bhakti and workshops on kirtan, etc. He also works 1-on-1 to help people meet their spiritual and wellness goals.

FAQ’s

  • It is recommended to visit a travel medicine clinic, your physician, or have a consult with an Ayurvedic expert to discuss any proactive measures you could/should take.

  • You can expect a livening experience to boost your soul and open your mind! But at the same time, please keep in mind that this is India and you should not expect US standards. We are traveling as Yogis and thus we will live simply but comfortably. As a cultural and spiritual experience note that we will be eating healthy but primarily vegetarian food with little to no alcoholic beverages. Please be comfortable with these limitations prior to signing up for this trip. The experiences you will have are designed to be transformational in spirit!

  • We will be traveling by private professional buses/vans and also one internal flight. If you have tendencies to get car sick, it is recommended to bring some over the counter medication, as the trips will be several hours in length.

  • Our whole trip will be in English, and everyone speaks English in all the places we will go.

  • You’ll want to fly into Mumbai airport. Currently, there are many round-trip flight options out of the Northeast U.S. for around $665-$1300. You need to arrive on or before January 26. The retreat will end on February 9 with transport to the India Gandhi International Airport (so we recommend booking your return flight from New Delhi, NOT Mumbai). We will arrive by 1 pm to the airport, so it's best to book any international flights from 4 pm onwards. For flight recommendations, feel free to ask us.
