True Intimacy and Sexual Identity Retreat | Canceled ~ 2020 ~ 3271525

"We crave true intimacy, and yet we refuse to give it to ourselves."

In this 4-day retreat, we will take a deep look at the human drive that causes a lot of misery: sexual identity. Sexual energy is a huge force, and there is deep conditioning to do something with that force. Gangaji will guide us in exploring the true meaning of true intimacy that includes, but is not limited to, sexual intimacy, and which is immanently possible with all of life. At the tranquil Hidden Springs Wellness Center in Ashland, OR.

Ashland Small Group Retreat, April | Canceled ~ 2020 ~ 3271515

In the midst of the unfolding information about Coronavirus, we made a difficult decision to cancel this event. If you are already registered please look for an email about your options for rescheduling or canceling your registration.

When a group of people committed to true self-discovery gathers for an entire weekend, a profound support is experienced for the total surrender of the mind to the heart. Small Group Weekends provide an opportunity to both sit in silence and dialogue with Gangaji in a very intimate setting. Enrollment is limited to 40 participants. The Small Group retreats will include five meetings with Gangaji.

Prerequisite: Before registering for a Small Group Retreat you must have attended at least one live event with Gangaji or completed her introductory online course. If you haven't already attended a meeting with Gangaji, before you register for this event, you can either join one of her live online meetings (see upcoming dates and topics here), or complete her free online course. To enroll in the course click here. If you have any questions contact us at info@gangaji.org.

Fallen Leaf Lake Silent Retreat | Canceled ~ 2020 ~ 2746606

We just received word from the staff of the Stanford Sierra Conference Center that they have decided to keep the property closed through June 19th, 2020. That means Gangaji's 2020 silent retreat at Fallen Leaf Lake is officially canceled. Naturally, we are sad to lose this opportunity to gather in this beautiful place. We are on their schedule for 2021.

Retreat with Gangaji

Attending a residential retreat with Gangaji offers a unique opportunity to withdraw from the normal distractions of your everyday life and inquire into what you truly want. With the support of Gangaji, other participants, and beautiful, contemplative settings, you can embark on a deep inner dive of self-discovery. This is the gift of retreat!

A retreat with Gangaji is not a time to fix or change anything about yourself. Actually, it is a time to rest, a time to retreat from any stories you may be telling about yourself, or definitions and identities you have constructed in your imagination.

With self-inquiry, Gangaji draws your attention away from your thoughts and into the direct experience of what is always here and who you truly are—peace itself, consciousness itself. In the willingness to retreat from your search for just one moment, you can profoundly realize you are already home, already free. This is the secret that lies at the heart of retreat.

Throughout the event, Gangaji offers you her deepest support and guidance in meeting yourself fully.

During our time on retreat…

We will meet with Gangaji twice a day to ask questions and share our reports. On silent retreat, we speak only during our meetings with Gangaji. A retreat with Gangaji may also include silent meditation, chanting and video presentations.

The Fallen Leaf Lake Retreat takes place near South Lake Tahoe, at the Stanford Sierra Conference Center. Our group will have exclusive use of this special property.
