Ashram life offers a rare chance to strip back the noise, reconnect with daily sadhana, seva, and mantra, and remember what it means to live consciously. These immersions refill my well, they keep the teachings authentic, embodied, and alive in all I share with you.

The time is coming ….. Inspiration towards deepening your meditation practice from Swami Anandakumar.

Let us know if you’re interested in a 2026 Silent Meditation Retreat!

There comes a time to get in touch with ourself a bit more deeply, that it is not enough to continue in the same old way. This can be done gently and gradually in the seclusion of your own inner nature.

These courses clear the way for you to be able connect more directly with your inner life, something not possible while fully engaged in the world. As well as the length of the courses, the peaceful environment, the quiet we are encouraged to keep there, the absence of outside distractions all help to make this possible more than any other way.

Different practices and techniques are introduced at different times as our inner perception deepens, so that as our practice evolves, the different steps of self discovery come at the right time, each step preparing for the next

The guidance leaves you free to have your own experience in the privacy of your own inner space. This develops a sense of quiet confidence which can’t be described because it’s different than the usual.

Sooner or later there are things we have to face up to which are particular to this life. This way we can do it consciously, knowingly, with full awareness; you will find it fits right in with whatever you have found and tested to be true.

Here you can let it become an adventure and a part of your life. There is knowledge and there are skills here that are really beneficial in navigating a rapidly changing world

The focus is on Awareness
What it is
Why it's essential
How to practice accurately
How to maintain it
What it can do for you
The benefits that become apparent in daily life

Awareness is the constant in meditation. awareness is being present, in the moment, and there are delightful ways to be present. Awareness is seeing things as they are - equally, undivided by opinion and self appraisal.

These are held annually in Aotearoa.
Drop ‘ Awareness ‘ in the comments below & we will be in touch.

Hari aum
Pragyadhara 🙏
