Awakened Journey 7-Day Meditation Retreat

Step into a week of deep renewal, elevated awareness, and awakened presence. Open to all levels of experience, this retreat offers a harmonious blend of meditation, contemplative learning, sacred ceremony, music, nature, and meaningful connection. You are invited to slow down, soften into presence, and immerse yourself in a heart-opening field of clarity and inspiration.

A special highlight of the week is the inspiring presence of Swami Nityananda, with friends from Shanti Mandir Ashram, who arrive Wednesday afternoon to further elevate and expand the retreat’s enlightening energies. The program includes a powerful Yagna, as well as a transcendent Indian Classical music concert featuring acclaimed santoor artist Vinay Desai and on tabla Anirudh Alva Changkakoti.

Throughout the week, guests are supported by the Sanctuary’s experienced resident staff and immersed in the radiant Sourcefield that is the heart of Sanctuary—a space many describe as deeply nourishing, clarifying, and profoundly restorative.
