Full Immersion (Silence + Sanyam 2) with Gurudev

December 20-28

Begin your journey in silence and move into stillness. This 8-day Full Immersion unfolds in two parts—starting with the Silence Retreat, where the mind quiets, awareness deepens, and the ground is prepared for subtler experiences to blossom.

From the depth of silence, transition into Sanyam 2 with Gurudev, a rare opportunity to explore higher states of awareness through profound meditations led by Gurudev.

This combined retreat offers a complete journey inward—from stillness to mastery, from rest to realization.

Eligibility:

Completion of Sanyam 1 and regular practice of the techniques.
A minimum of 2 months of integration time is required between your first Sanyam course and Sanyam-2.
Physical and mental readiness to comfortably participate in multiple Padmasadhana sessions daily.

Please note $1,000 of the course fee is a tax-deductible donation for Canadian residents.
