Mahashivaratri Spiritual Retreat

February 27 – March 8, 2027

This intensive international ten-day retreat is an immersion in ashram life and the practice of sadhana, or spiritual discipline. Full days of inner preparation with teachings and practices led by Swami Isa culminate in the traditional night of Shivaratri.

The retreat includes training in ‘Life for Total Consciousness‘, a yoga practice developed by Swamiji, along with the supportive atmosphere of a dedicated spiritual community.

Daily Schedule

Each day follows a balanced rhythm designed to support your practice, learning, and inner growth. The day begins with an early morning wake-up, followed by guided group practices, satsang, karma yoga, sessions with Swami Isa, bhajans, and time for personal reflection and practice. Evenings conclude with a period of quiet, and lights are typically out by 10:00 p.m.
Please note that the daily schedule may vary slightly depending on the retreat and group.
