Specialized Meditation Retreats & Advanced Programs
Beyond our daily rhythm of yoga and satsang, we host immersive programs designed to take you deeper into stillness. From the advanced Sanyam course to the Intuition Process, these retreats offer a dedicated space for profound inner exploration.

About this collection
Committing to an advanced program like Sanyam or one of our silence retreats is a shift from casual practice to deep immersion. These programs are structured to help you disconnect from the noise of daily life and settle into a space of sustained silence and guidance, allowing for a level of clarity that short weekend workshops simply cannot reach.
Moving from practice to immersion
Many of our guests start with a simple weekend workshop, but eventually find themselves looking for something more sustained. Our specialized programs, held at our Kanakapura Road campus, are designed for this next step. Whether you are aiming to deepen your meditation through the Sanyam course, or looking to quiet mental chatter with an Advanced Meditation Program (AMP), the ashram environment is built to support that shift.
What to expect
These are not luxury holidays. When you sign up for a program like the 10-day Art of Silence or the Intuition Process, you are choosing a structured, rigorous, and rewarding discipline.
- Structured Silence: You will be guided through hours of deep meditation, which helps the nervous system offload years of stress.
- Dietary Support: We serve simple, Satvik vegetarian meals to keep the body light and the mind receptive.
- Communal Living: You will be sharing the space with seekers from all over the world. The collective energy of a thousand people meditating together in the Vishalakshi Mantap is quite different from doing it alone at home.
Practical considerations for residential retreats
If you are traveling for a multi-day retreat, plan for the essentials. While we provide shared dorms and basic amenities, we recommend carrying your own toiletries, comfortable loose clothing, and anything you might need for personal comfort. Our campus is vast, so comfortable walking shoes are a must. Most programs have specific arrival and departure requirements, so please check the schedule for your chosen course before booking your travel.
