Details
Nestled in the rural hills of South India, there is a very special corner in the world where you will be supported to go inward, soften and allow yourself to feel it all. This immersive experience in the very motherland of Mantra Meditation is a unique and intimate opportunity to intentionally take a step away from the stresses and distractions of modern life and bathe in devotional spaces and daily practices designed to quiet the mind and open the heart, guided by musician and teacher Nadav Kahn. Our Pilgrimage will take our practice to sacred places starting at the Shiva Mountain (Divine Masculine), Arunachala in Tiruvannamalai. We take an exploration and mindful hike of the enlightened caves where sages and saints have meditated for centuries. Our next destination is the home of the Golden Temple of Lakshmi, Abode of the Mother (Divine Feminine). Here, we'll delve deep into practice and experience the rural village of Peedam, where temple life is guided by local Saint Sri Sakthi Narayani Amma. This Journey is for anyone who is seeking to deepen their connection to the Divine and develop a daily Mantra-based practice.
