1st June In-Person Small Group Retreat
Ashland, OR
June 4 - 6, 2027

An intimate setting for the deepest surrender of the mind to the heart. Limited to 35 participants.

“I invite you to be ever more true to the sanctuary of your own heart, the one heart.”​

In this intimate setting of our Ashland living room, Gangaji fully supports you in recognizing your true nature, peace itself, and how to authentically live your life in the wake of that self-recognition. This retreat is limited to 35 participants and includes five meetings with Gangaji. There will also be a Saturday afternoon lunch gathering. 

Prerequisite: Before registering for a Small Group Retreat, you must have attended at least one live (online or in-person) event with Gangaji, or completed one of her introductory online self-guided inquiries.

From Previous Participants

Seeing Gangaji in person, and being able to enjoy her in perhaps the most beautiful, peaceful setting I have ever been to, are blessings beyond my wildest dreams.
In meeting with Gangaji and others heart to heart, I found what I have been searching for all my life. I was here all along. Now I can stop the search.
Time to unplug in the presence of Gangaji and the fellowship of others.
There are no words for the gratitude. Life was so heavy and such a burden. Now I am here as love itself.
The utter simplicity of remembering who I am, with loving fellow travelers, is priceless.
