The Journey of the Heart
Delhi | Rishikesh | Jaipur | Vrindavan
February 12-24, 2027
Upcoming Retreat
This is a journey of the heart through India’s sacred cities, beginning in Delhi and moving from the banks of the Ganges in Rishikesh, through the color and beauty of Jaipur, to the heart of devotion in Vrindavan before returning to Delhi.
We begin gently, grounding ourselves and turning inward to explore the identities and patterns that shape how we love. Through yoga, kirtan, temple visits, shared meals, meaningful conversation, and honest reflection, we’ll open toward a love that is expansive rather than possessive, rooted in truth rather than fear.
Together, we’ll explore what it means to love with more wholeness, openness, and steadiness, and to carry that deeper way of being home with us.
Come open. Leave transformed.

Jantar Mantar — a fascinating royal observatory featuring massive stone instruments used to study the stars and track time with remarkable precision
In the afternoon, visit local artisan spaces such as a rug workshop and gem factory, where you can witness skilled artisans practicing the intricate art of weaving, cutting, and polishing. Later, visit sacred temples including Birla Temple, Govind Dev Ji Temple, and the beloved Hanuman Temple, experiencing the devotional side of Jaipur. Overnight stay in Jaipur.
