A four-day retreat at Sanatan Siddhashram around the autumn Raas festival, held in two strands: aaradhana anga, serving the deity through Sankirtana chanting, Abhishek, bhog offerings and offerings of music and dance, and dharana anga, meditation on Sri Krishna through mantra upasana. Hosted by Parvathy Baul and Sri Ramachandra, with offerings by devotional artists and Baul anuragis.
Five days spent exclusively with Parvathy Baul, who guides participants into a daily spiritual practice and gives insights into Baul philosophy. Earlier editions held meditation, singing and movement, chanting Harinaam through the villages as a form of sacred Madhukori, hatha yoga and pranayama, and the offering of bhog. This is the only retreat she teaches entirely on her own, and it asks for sincere work.
Three days immersed in Gopi Bhāv, devotion and surrender to the Supreme Lord, with Parvathy Baul and female Baul Masters — and, as the retreat has grown over the years, male Masters as well. The emphasis is less on learning songs than on sitting in satsang with these Masters and witnessing how they live their whole lives in Gopi Bhav.
An intensive five-day retreat to receive and practise the teachings of Baul Masters closely associated with Parvathy Baul and Sanatan Siddhashram. Practice classes and satsangs run from early morning until late evening, with sessions on songs and their poetry, singing, movement and question and answer.
