We were thrilled to host the 3-day Women's Seeker retreat organized by Chinmaya Mission where over 80 ladies of all ages gathered to discover ways to find their inner self, improve wellness, and maintain mental calm as they face life's challenges.

The day started with yoga and meditation, followed by lectures on teachings from Vedas/Vedanta based on the life of great women gurus. The women also discussed these topics in breakout sessions. Many ladies also went on a walk post-lunch in the beautiful environs of Abhyudaya. And in spite of the chilly weather, they gathered outside for a fireside fun and games.

All our 38 beds were occupied and the women volunteered to cook and serve the food. It was a fulfilling retreat! Due to popular demand, the retreat will be repeated again in Nov 2025! Watch this space for the announcement.
