India · 8 days · From USD 583
The Homecoming Retreat is a transformative journey into the spiritual heartland of India, where the essence of yoga and devotion is not just taught but lived. From the moment you arrive at our welcoming campus in Jatipura, you are embraced by a warm community of like-minded seekers. The retreat philosophy centers on the belief that genuine transformation comes from a harmonious blend of wisdom, service, and heartfelt connection—each day is thoughtfully structured to offer all three.
Your experience begins each morning with guided meditation and mantra chanting, setting a tone of calm and intention. Days are filled with visits to spiritually significant sites such as Govardhan Hill, where yogis and sages have meditated for centuries, and ancient temples where the air vibrates with kirtan. Along the way, expert spiritual guides share insights that make ancient texts like the Bhagavad Gita relevant to modern challenges. Evenings bring opportunities for community service, sanctified meals, and deepening bonds with fellow participants.
The retreat is facilitated by a team of extraordinary individuals: Ed Anobah, a leadership coach with a background in philosophy and economics, brings intuitive clarity to the teachings; Bhurijana Dāsa, author of 'The Art of Teaching' and co-founder of the Govardhan Retreat Center, offers five decades of wisdom; and Jagattarini Devī Dāsī, a former actress and artist, brings stories and culture to life. Together, they create a rich and supportive environment.
Located at the Jaipur Inn on Govardhan Hill, the retreat offers a rare glimpse into rural Indian life—quiet villages, scenic pathways, and a rhythm of life that encourages unhurried walks and stillness. The area's natural beauty and cultural heritage make it an ideal setting for reflection and renewal. Whether you are seeking to escape the rush of modern living, find purpose, or simply experience the magic of India, this retreat promises a profound and lasting impact.
