Retreats

The books point somewhere. This is that somewhere.

The wisdom of inner peace, meditation, and consciousness belongs to no single culture or religion, but it was the Indian tradition that held it with such extraordinary care across thousands of years, keeping it alive, intact, and transmittable. Not as philosophy to be studied from a distance, but as something that passes from person to person, from teacher to student, through an unbroken lineage.

That transmission is what this retreat is built around. A journey to meet the custodians of what we have been reading, on their ground, in their light.

What we will do together

I have been quietly planning a small-group journey to India, eight to twelve people. What I want to offer brings together three things I care about deeply.

The first is meditation practice received in the traditional way: a personal mantra given through puja, a ceremony that has been part of this transmission for thousands of years. To sit with that, in India, is something different from sitting at home with a book. The context changes what arrives.

The second is time with the great classical teachings, held gently, in the round, not as scholarship but as living philosophy. The stories carry something that summaries cannot. We will sit with them together.

The third is India itself, experienced slowly and with real cultural knowledge. Smaller temples. Artisan communities where ancient crafts are still practised. Sacred sites away from the tourist routes. Presence over spectacle. Intimacy over itinerary.

The accommodation will be beautiful and private. The group will be small enough that we can move quietly.

Perhaps you have read the books and something stirred. Whatever your experience with meditation, none, some, or years of practice, there is a place for you here. What I teach is a specific and ancient technique, received in the traditional way.

The retreat is in development. I am working toward a first departure in early 2028, winter in India, when the country is at its most welcoming. If you join the waitlist now, you will be among the first to know when dates are confirmed and will have first access to places.
