Overview
For millennia, Eastern traditions, values, culture and heritage have captured the imagination of the West and this curiosity propels the most devoted among us to visit and find out more.
On this page we will outline the details of this adventure to Northern India. Answer the call of your soul and join us on this Transformational Travel Experience from Friday 1st - Saturday 9th November 2024.
Namaskar - Greetings, I bow to you
Gather with fellow seekers for a unique 6-night retreat set against the mystical landscapes of Northern India. The sun always rises in the East and the East teaches us the wisdom of life, good health and the practices of divinity.
Here, the rugged mountains and sacred temples become the canvas for your self-discovery. In this beautiful setting, Pathfinder will facilitate coaching conversations and teach you techniques that will help you calm your mind and soothe your soul through movement, breathwork and sound based meditation.
This unique experience allows you to step out of the familiar and into the adventure. Ancient Indian culture will guide you to consider your beliefs, values, and aspirations and lead to newfound insights and perspectives.
Throughout the trip we will be meeting holy souls who will share their profound wisdom to help you realise your potential.
Much like the lotus that rises above the muddy waters to bloom in all its glory, this extraordinary journey will give you access to the life you always wanted.
Taj Mahal ताज महल
The symphony of love
The Taj Mahal is the first destination on our Indian voyage. It stands as a timeless testament to the power of love, immortalising the devotion of Emperor Shah Jahan to his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Amidst the grandeur of its marble façade lies a profound message: that the strength of love transcends all boundaries and endures through time.
The true essence of beauty lies not in the accumulation of power, but in the depth of one's love and compassion for others and oneself. In other words, the love of power versus the power of love. By cultivating a devotion to self and others, we unlock the secret to true beauty. In embracing the spirit of devotion, we pave the way for authentic connections, meaningful relationships, and a life filled with purpose, fulfilment and enrichment.
Haridwar हरिद्वार
The Gateway To Heaven
Our second stop en route to the Himalayas.
Haridwar, meaning the ‘gateway to heaven’ is nestled along the banks of the sacred Ganges River and pulsates with spiritual energy and ancient wisdom. We will attend one of the incredible nightly Ganga Aarti ceremonies. A mesmerising ritual of light and sound which evokes a profound sense of reverence and connection to the divine.
As thousands gather to witness the spectacle, the Aarti transcends religious boundaries, uniting souls in prayer and meditation. In this sacred city, the power of the Aarti serves as a beacon of hope and renewal for all who seek spiritual enlightenment.
Before we set off into the mountains, we will pay a visit to the ashram of Sri Anandamayi who was an Indian saint, teacher, and mystic. She was revered as an incarnation of the Hindu goddess Durga, the mother of mothers.
Devprayag हिमालयः
Birthplace of the River Ganga
Devprayag is a town in the state of Uttarakhand in Northern India, deep in the Himalayas.
It is an area of great spiritual significance as the Bhagirathi and Alaknanda rivers unite to form the divine Ganga.
The confluence of rivers is often seen as a symbol of unity and the merging of the earth's electromagnetic energies.
It is believed that participating in ceremonies at such confluences is auspicious, to cleanse the body and purify the mind and soul. For the brave, there will be an opportunity to bath in these sacred waters…….
