A Personal Invitation from Raman

Dear Friend,

Why does happiness feel so hard to find? Even with all the comforts of modern life, stress and anxiety seem to be everywhere. We keep searching, but something still feels missing. What is it?

Every day, we wake up, work hard, and try to escape through entertainment, social media, or weekend trips. But no matter what we do, we keep coming back to the same restless feeling. Fear, stress, and worry have become a part of daily life.

Sages and scriptures say that peace is within us. But what does that really mean? Where is this "within," and why do we keep looking for happiness outside?

A Journey Within – Returning Home

This 5-day retreat is an invitation to pause and look inside. To come back home to yourself.

It is not about learning new philosophies, rituals, or meditation techniques. Instead, it is a space to explore what keeps us away from peace and how we can reconnect with the stillness already inside us.

Life has become too serious, and we don't want to make it heavier. This retreat is about laughter, dancing, singing, playing, questioning, and meditating—together.

In these five days, we will discover how to move through life with ease and flow.

Most importantly, this retreat is an invitation to return home—not as a thought or an idea, but as a real experience of stillness, clarity, and deep joy.

About Retreat

calendar icon13th Aug - 17th Aug 2025location iconHaridwar, Uttarakhand

These 5 days you give yourself will offer a rare chance to step away from the chaos of daily life and return to the peace that lives within you.

It'll be held in Haridwar, a holy city where saints and seekers have walked for centuries. A space close to the Ganga River, where beautiful views meet the the silence of Rajaji National Park.

Just being in this sacred place with its timeless energy and spiritual history can awaken something profound in the heart. Add to that the sound of the holy river, and birdsongs from the forest, and you have a space for inner transformation.

This retreat is a space to slow down, rest, and reconnect with what truly matters - your inner peace.

We'll sit in the stillness near the Ganga, move and dance with joy, share stories and questions, and explore deeply with the fellow community members.

Let nature and silence guide you to inner peace and help you return home.
