INDIA RETREAT, Oct 8-20, 2026
Govardhan Eco Village · Rishikesh · Vrindavan, Govardhan, Radha Kund
It all starts here. India is calling you. Are you ready for the journey of your life?
The gateway between the mundane and the mystical has opened. You just need to come with us. And India takes care of the rest. For the first time with a group from Romania, we will travel to the consecrated realm of Vrindavan, a mystical place whose origin has an unbelievable story. Here the vibration of mantras spoken for hundreds of years has remained imprinted on the walls and in the hearts of people, who are a living example that the important things cannot be seen with the naked eye, but are felt with an open soul.
You don't need to be a spiritual person, to have experience in yoga or travel or 'mystical' things. India is the friendliest realm on the planet. You will discover a reality you didn't think could exist, you'll make a new family and you'll feel like you've known each person you meet for the first time for a lifetime (or maybe for the thousandth time 😉)
This retreat is not a vacation or an all-inclusive tourist experience, where we stop at photos, food and accommodation. It is a journey that can change your life. We embark on this retreat with questions like: 'who am I', 'why am I here', 'is there more than appearances and superficiality in this life'. In India, happiness is visible to the naked eye, like a magical mist floating in the air, and above all, it is deeply felt, with the heart. In India you will truly feel that happiness does not consist of objects, careers, more clothes, cars, properties or exotic vacations. India is the place where the lives of hundreds of people took a completely unexpected turn. India shakes you, through every strand of hair. It goes beyond your mental layers of protection, finds your deepest thoughts and questions, desires and fears, and shows you who you truly are. It shows you all the obstacles and hardships that deceive you and divert you from your authentic version, all the things that, deep down, you want to move past. India puts you face to face with your weaknesses, your judgments and the social conventions you've accumulated from the outside throughout your life. It is a formative journey, full of emotions and intensity, but after these profound days, you will leave with a fuller heart and throw your emotional baggage into the waters of the Ganges. You'll be freer, happier, and more 'you'. You'll remember who you dreamed of being when you were a child, and you'll understand what true friendship, happiness, love, compassion, giving, altruism and beauty mean.
Somewhere near Mumbai hides a true tropical paradise, infused with mantras and mystical musical notes of devotion. Govardhan EcoVillage (GEV) is a spiritual eco-village that houses a temple and an international community of residents from all corners of the world. It will be your oasis of regeneration — not just physical, but spiritual. If there were a competition for 'best tropical spiritual retreat', GEV would win without a doubt. In fact, it has already won numerous international awards for sustainability, innovation in permaculture and agriculture, professional training programs for the local community and for the profound way it gives back to Mother Nature. At GEV we will be surrounded by people dedicated to spiritual life and will enjoy yoga sessions, practical workshops inspired by authentic sacred yoga knowledge, activities in the protected cow sanctuary, food cooked according to Ayurvedic principles and access to Ayurvedic treatments at the highest standards.
Rishikesh...does it even need an introduction? The first time we were here, we didn't like it at all. We were bothered by the multitude of 'white' people and the commercial places. Later, we made many friends who are truly spiritual seekers, who showed us that in Rishikesh you can still find that spiritual yoga energy that so many advanced yogis talk about. Rishikesh is a perfect mix of warm and beautiful people, sadhus (people who dedicate their lives to spiritual seeking), yoga, devotion and the immense power of nature that takes your breath away. Here we will participate in fire ceremonies and visits to secret caves where yogis still live in retreat, we'll have the opportunity to mingle with locals and live like them, a life that seems like a dream... (just be careful to also come back home, we already stayed there a few extra months 😂) This year we will participate in Rishikesh Kirtan Mela — a music and dance festival...different. After this festival you'll take our word for it when we say 'you'll get high on your own supply' :)
It's hard to express in words what Vrindavan means to us. It is said that this city is covered by a curtain — 'the curtain of material illusion' — that we must remove in order to feel and see the transformative effect of the city. Vrindavan is a city where the streets speak to you, the signs on the walls whisper clues, and the holy waters purify you of what you didn't know you needed to leave behind. Here love floats in the air, and the power of mantras carries a spiritual charge that purifies our hearts with every step. Vrindavan is considered the most sacred place on the planet. And you'll see why. What happens in Vrindavan cannot happen anywhere else in the world. We say this because here everything we ever knew fell apart. Here, in Vrindavan, we died, and were born again, seeing life completely and entirely differently.
Now, let's remember we're in India! Who knows where destiny will take us... The schedule here is an example, but for the most part there will be ad hoc journeys and adventures
*schedule will change depending on needs and each location. There will be optional and profound early morning activities before the displayed schedule
And here it is, the moment to go together to India again. Who would have said...4 years ago when we were dancing enchanted on the streets of India, that one day we would go there with you! India for us is the most special place, and it's not from this planet. We arrived here...as if under a spell, we really didn't know what we were doing and where we were going, or why — we weren't aware at that point that everything has a purpose and everything would connect years later. Since we first arrived in India, things happened inside us that changed our lives forever. Things that saved our lives. Since then, we never stopped searching. We never stopped coming home, to India, year after year, and we brought the dearest people to us along. Last year 17 strangers left, and we returned a family (for real!). Going through so many adventures and inner storms, a bond was created between us that can only be created when your soul was in your throat because you're on a bus at the edge of a cliff in Gangotri, India :) We are not enough to facilitate a truly transformative experience. That's why we'll have with us at the retreat the help of yogis who were born dedicating their lives to authentic spiritual seeking. Our team is always made up of people with big hearts and true words, who offer us every day an example, inspiration, and strength to keep going in the search for a life that doesn't end at working, eating and paying bills. And what if your life is waiting for you, and everything you experience is a dream?

They say nobody buys their own ticket to India. She calls you when you're ready.
This is the sign you were looking for.
