The holiday season can test our edges like no other time of year, inviting both love and loneliness, connection and contraction. These moments are not obstacles, but part of our sadhana, our living practice. They show us where the heart still guards itself, and where it longs to open.

Step into 716 acres of wild forest for a transformational weekend of practice and presence. This donation-based retreat brings together seekers for heart-centered practice, rooted in nature, community, and the profound simplicity of being.

Guided by friends-in-spirit and co-creators Bala, Nivay & Naga Das, you’ll engage in breath-work, gentle movement, forest immersions, honest satsang, fire & water ritual, and the crafting of a 40-day personal sadhana to carry you through the holidays with grounded clarity.

Here’s what awaits:

• Immersive heart practice: open, soften and listen deeply.

• True community and sharing: no spiritual performance, just genuine presence.

• Nature as teacher: guided walks, solo sit-spots, and the sanctuary of the forest.

• A “Heart-Offering” contribution model: attend first, then reflect and contribute based on your experience and what you can give.

If your path is calling you to pause, open your heart, and step into a field of conscious practice in nature with satsang and community this could be your invitation.
