Varanasi 19th – 28th of February 2027
Join us on a transformative 10-day journey to Varanasi, the sacred city on the Ganges!
When: Friday 19th – Sunday 28th of February
Who: With Iris Disse and Jhoselyn Escobar
Our intention for this journey is to guide you back into trust.
Trust that you are connected to everything. That you can tap into a collective knowledge you have never been taught. That ancient wisdom is not lost. When we open the channel, when we surrender, when we ask the Great Mystery and move with trust into the unknown, it reveals itself.
In Varanasi, you can directly experience what the Buddha meant: We don’t have to become something new. We only have to awaken.
Where?
In Varanasi close the Ganga River
In the first 3 days we enter the sacred city together. We greet the sunrise in a small boat on the Ganges, visit secret temples, connect with sacred cows, meditate on the ghats, and meet the wild goddess Ganga. At night we sit close to the burning ghats, where bodies are given to fire and souls are set free.
For who is this retreat
If you are ready to:
Program
The first days we create a field of trust and safety. We nourish ourselves through collective presence, so you can dare to open.
On days 4 and 5 you go out in pairs to explore. For the next 5 days you follow the call of the mystery – alone or together.
This is the practice: You ask the Mystery a question. You open the channel. You surrender your need to know. And you move with trust into the unknown.
Every morning we share breakfast.
Each day has its own theme and ritual.
There is meditation and yoga practice, and you receive mystical tools to go out and discover your own miracles. You will not be learning something new – you will be remembering. You will meet realities you cannot even imagine now. The world will start to dance with you and speak to you.
Every evening we meet for dinner and a talking stick – a sharing from the heart. What did the city whisper to you? What old knowing came through your body? You learn to trust your intuitive wisdom and the collective field we all belong to.
At night you can go out again, alone or together.
Rituals grow out of your everyday experiences.
What you need is an adventurous spirit, self-responsibility, and the longing to step out of fixed patterns. When you open all your senses, the mystery can reach you. You laugh with goddess Lalita – “She who plays”. And from that openness a quiet joy arises – the joy of being alive, awake, on this planet – now.
