Meet spiritual India
14-31 January 2021
I invite you to come with me to India. The India that I know, feel, understand. These are places of power and transformation. This journey is for those who, through a journey to the outside, discover themselves.
Changing the external reality, we can learn a lot about ourselves, observing how our perceptions and attitudes towards the world are transformed. India is so diverse and “different” that it cannot but stir up your inner foundation, enrich and expand your consciousness.
Awakened people
We will visit the places of life and activity of those who have changed the history of spiritual evolution, who have created fundamentally new directions, and have uncovered forgotten teachings. We will also have meetings with alive masters.
powerful places
We will do light yoga in the morning, meditate in caves, feel places of power, observe changes inside, visiting thousand-year-old holy places and newly created meditation centers. Temples, shrines, lingams and ashrams.
colors of India
