RETREAT OVERVIEW
New Year, New Dawn
This sacred morning retreat invites you to cross the threshold into 2026 not by striving to become someone else, but by awakening to who you already are.
​

Accompanied by the gentle presence of accompanying soulful teachers , this retreat will leave your inner sky clear, luminous, and aligned with your soul’s deeper rhythm.
Retreat Flow
9:00 – 9:15 AM | Sacred Arrival & Sankalpa
With Sadhvi Ishani
We open in silence and invocation, entering a field of presence. A guiding mantra awakens the heart as you are led inward, where your true Sankalpa — your soul’s intention — begins to stir.
9:15 – 9:45 AM | Let the False Burn
A Teaching by Acharya Shunya
Release what no longer serves. Through a fiery and freeing discourse, Acharya Shunya helps us name and shed false identities, past disappointments, and inner clutter. Drawing from Vedic teachings and her own lineage, she offers a path to begin anew — not by force, but by light of Vedic wisdom.
9:45 – 10:00 AM | Atma Breath: Prana
A guided movement experience invites the body to do what the soul longs for — to let go, to flow, to rise. No prior dance experience needed. Just your breath, your willingness, and your presence.
10:00 – 10:30 AM | Reclaiming the Inner Light
A Teaching by Acharya Shunya
Return home to your essence. In this radiant transmission, Acharya Shunya guides us back to the Self — the ever-lit flame within. Drawing from the Bhagavad Gita and sacred Devi wisdom, we remember: the dawn we await is already within.
10:30 to 11:00 AM | Sharing Circle: Letting Go & Letting In
Held by Sadhvi Aparna
In a gentle space of trust and stillness, we are invited to speak — or silently witness — our own inner shifts. What are you releasing? What are you welcoming? You may share, listen, or simply rest in the collective truth.
10:25 – 10:45 AM | Soulful Sankalpa
A Teaching and Guided Practice with Acharya Shunya
Beyond fleeting goals lies the power of a true Sankalpa — a heart-aligned vow. Through reflection, wisdom-sharing, and meditative guidance, Acharya Shunya helps you plant a seed of sacred will that aligns with your Dharma, not your ego.
10:45 – 11:00 AM | Closing Circle & Blessing
With Sadhvi Ishani
We close in silence, gratitude, and shared radiance. A final mantra is offered as blessing. The light has returned — not from outside, but from within you.
