A five-day retreat for women who feel called to explore and awaken the essence of the Goddess within
Rooted in the Shakta Tantra tradition, this retreat introduces the Goddess not merely as a symbol, but as the creative intelligence expressed through nature, consciousness, the body, intuition, strength, and every dimension of life.
Across five thoughtfully paced days, you will experience Goddess ceremonies, mantra, meditation, breathwork, embodied movement, somatic awareness, reflective teachings, and periods of rest and personal integration. Time beside the sacred Ganga and within the spiritual atmosphere of Rishikesh allows the outer journey to support the one unfolding within.
The practices are offered progressively and accessibly. You do not need previous experience with Tantra, meditation, ritual, or yoga—only curiosity, openness, and a sincere desire to explore.
The retreat is limited to five participants, allowing personal guidance while preserving the warmth, connection, and shared reflection that can arise within a small circle of women. Practices are hosted at our studio, while your accommodation provides a comfortable hillside sanctuary for rest and integration.
This retreat is an invitation to remember the Goddess within—not by becoming someone new, but by listening more deeply to the wisdom, vitality, devotion, and inner strength that have been bestowed upon you by birth.
"You are the temple, you are the Divine - wherever you go, whatever you do, always remember this & you will never feel lost in your heart"

Our Tradition & Lineage - The Path of the Goddess
Our practices are rooted in the living tradition of Shakta Tantra, one of India's oldest spiritual lineages devoted to the worship of the Divine Goddess.
In this tradition, the body is not considered an obstacle to awakening but a sacred vessel through which consciousness expresses itself.
The Goddess is understood as Shakti—the creative Cosmic Energy that moves through nature, through the body, through emotion, through devotion, and through every act of life itself.
Throughout the retreat, you will be introduced to traditional practices including mantra, meditation, breathwork (pranayama), contemplative study, Goddess rituals, and embodied awareness. These practices are shared respectfully within the context of the lineage from which they arise.

What Makes This Retreat Special?
What makes this retreat unique is not simply the practices we share, but the tradition from which they arise.
We were born and raised in Eastern India within a family devoted to the Shakta tradition—the ancient path of Goddess worship. For us, these teachings are not something we discovered later in life; they are part of the spiritual culture in which we were raised and continue to practice today.
Over the years, we have met many travellers who came to India hoping to experience its authentic spiritual traditions, only to find retreats that offered a simplified or commercial interpretation. We created this retreat to offer something different: a respectful introduction to the depth, philosophy, and living practices of the Divine Feminine tradition of India.
To preserve the quality of this experience, participation is intentionally limited to just three guests. This small group allows for meaningful discussion, individual guidance, and a peaceful atmosphere where each participant has the time and space to engage deeply with the teachings while also sharing the journey with like-minded seekers.
Rather than following a fixed, one-size-fits-all program, we adapt the pace of the retreat to the needs of the group while remaining rooted in the principles of our lineage. Our intention is to create an experience that is personal, authentic, and grounded in a living tradition that has been carefully preserved across generations.
More about the 5 day program:
Note: This retreat allows the program & schedules to be adapted to each guest’s needs, comforts, boundaries and level of experience.
This five-day women-only retreat offers a progressive journey into the embodied and devotional wisdom of Shakti.
The program begins with an opening circle, intention setting, and gentle practices to help you settle into the retreat. Each morning includes meditation, pranayama, mantra, mindful movement, and a traditional Goddess ceremony. Daytime sessions explore Shakta Tantra philosophy, somatic awareness, feminine strength, intuition, emotional patterns, and the relationship between body, energy, and consciousness.
The journey also includes dynamic meditation, expressive movement, guided reflection, time beside the sacred Ganga, and one personalized healing session adapted to your intentions and comfort. Spacious periods for rest, journaling, nourishing meals, and personal integration are woven throughout the program.
Practices develop gradually across the five days, leading towards a closing Goddess ceremony and integration circle. The schedule may be thoughtfully adapted to the needs and experience of the group while preserving the retreat’s overall structure and intention.
The Retreat Experience
This retreat is more than a few days away from everyday life. It is a women-only journey of slowing down, listening inwardly, and developing a more conscious relationship with the living presence of Shakti.
Created for women who feel disconnected from themselves, emotionally tired, spiritually curious, or ready to rediscover their intuition and inner strength, the retreat weaves together Goddess ceremonies, mantra, meditation, breathwork, movement, somatic awareness, reflective teachings, healing practices, and a sacred circle of women.
Your journey begins with time to settle into the peaceful hillside surroundings, meet the other participants, and arrive within yourself. An opening circle establishes the intentions, agreements, and respectful foundation that will hold the group throughout the retreat.
Each morning begins with meditation, gentle pranayama, mantra, and a traditional Goddess ceremony. These practices create a devotional rhythm while helping you become more present in your body, breath, emotions, and inner experience.
You will be introduced to the philosophy of Shakti and the Divine Feminine through the Shakta Tantra tradition. Rather than presenting the Goddess as an abstract idea or mythological figure, the teachings explore her as the creative power moving through nature, consciousness, the body, intuition, emotion, transformation, and life itself.
The teachings are shared in a grounded and accessible way. You do not need to adopt a belief system or arrive with previous experience. You are invited to listen, reflect, practise, and discover what resonates through your own direct experience.
About the Divine Feminine path:
The practices woven into this private sanctuary are rooted deeply in ancient Shakta Tantra—a profound, 3,000-year-old lineage from India that revolutionized spirituality by declaring the physical body as the living temple.
Historically, while other traditions demanded that seekers suppress their senses, isolate themselves from the world, or look to the sky for answers, the Shakta path did the exact opposite. It emerged as a radical celebration of the Divine Feminine (Shakti), teaching that your life force, your emotions, and your physical form are your greatest vehicles for awakening.

FAQs
Is this experience right for me?
In the Divine feminine tradition, women are treated as incarnations of the Goddess. So, this experience is definitely well suited for women of all cultures and backgrounds. These immersions are tailored for individuals who have never done any sadhana (spiritual practices), as well as for those who have spent some time doing Yoga or meditation or have some exposure to the path of Tantra. So, whether you are an absolute beginner, or you have done some form of practice - we welcome you to come and experience the journey to the temple of the great Goddess Shakti within. About this experience in particular, this immersion is not just about relaxation; it is about becoming, or perhaps you can say that it is about unbecoming or letting go of everything that the world has enforced upon you - to reveal the Divine essence shining within your own heart. This experience is open to all and does not require any prerequisite workshops or courses. Anybody can apply for this experience.
How big will the group be?
We intentionally keep this retreat intimate, with a maximum group size of 3 participants. We believe that deep, heart-centered healing requires a focused, quiet container. By capping our group at three, we ensure that every guest receives personalized attention, ample space for individual reflection, and a deeply private experience where your unique journey is our primary focus.
What do I need to bring?
Bring your daily essential things - If you have shoes that are fit for rough terrains, sportswear etc. you can bring them along. Other than that, anything else needed for the program or any extra-curricular activities will be provided to you.
