A Journey in India with Thom Knoles
8 - 18 January 2021
Earlier this year on retreat with Thom Knoles, my teacher and the world’s authority on Vedic Meditation and wisdom, Thom awakened the truth about abundance and shared techniques for breaking the hypnosis of poverty consciousness, allowing for the unleashing of affluence and maximum potential in our lives. Check out the video here.
Next year, 8 - 18 January 2021, we will again head to the village of Rishikesh, nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas, on the banks of the holy river Ganga (Ganges). Rishikesh has been home to great saints and Vedic masters for thousands of years. It is here that Thom was trained by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, at the ashram that we will have an opportunity to visit.
Ganga Kinare, which is located on the banks of the holy Ganga river, will be our modern “ashram” for the ten days of the retreat.
Each morning will begin with a group round (extended meditation programme), morning snan in the Ganga, followed by breakfast.
After breakfast, there will be an excursion or planned activity, followed by lunch and a knowledge session with Thom and special guests.
The afternoon continues with a group round, followed by dinner. The day concludes with an evening lecture with Thom and special guests.
There will also be an opportunity to follow a special high rounding program designed by Thom for those who would like to participate. Completing a rounding program is a prerequisite for Initiator Training.
Excursions will include: Vasistha’s Cave, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s Ashram, Kunjapuri Devi Temple and more!
Group Meditation
Group Meditations are a great way to connect in and solidifying your practice. Meditators report that their meditation experience is much deeper in the group. Group Meditation is open to Vedic Meditators and those who have learned Transcendental Meditation.
