About the retreat

After the epic Spiritual Adventure for Deaf people finally happened in 2023 (it was originally scheduled for 2020), next we will revisit the Himalayas and also take in the magical Sikh capital of the world, Amritsar, in this journey of a lifetime. The contrast between the states of Himachal Pradesh (Dharamshala) & Punjab (Amritsar) will make you feel truly alive, and the buzz and sacred activity of the Golden Temple will inspire you to be the best version of yourself, as it did for me in my early days of living in India, and every time I absorb that special energy.

I find the Sikh’s are the most generous people, providing meals for everyone, everyday, this selfless practice can inspire us & energise us. Learn more about Sikhism and their open-hearted philosophy along with other ways of living and being.

The aim of this retreat is for you to take a complete break from your day to day, and find connection within yourself through all you will practice & learn on this special retreat.

I will teach you and guide you to connect with your body, calm your mind and feel & feed your soul through;

Daily signed Yoga (the system of Self-realisation) practices to get you moving, release blocks and deepen your connection
Ayurveda (the ancient health system of India and the sister of Yoga) workshops

At the center of its walled old town, the gilded Golden Temple (Harmandir Sahib) is the holiest gurdwara (religious complex) of the Sikh religion. The sacred Amrit Sarovar tank (lake) is the center-piece, and the place where pilgrims come from all over the world to bathe, you will also have the opportunity to take a holy dip in the sacred waters, should you choose to do so. The Golden Temple is also home to the largest free kitchen in the world, known as langar, this kitchen provides free, wholesome, vegetarian meals for around 100,000 people every single day,
