About our Gatherings

Family of Growth

Utsav Gatherings are a place where people can come together to heal, celebrate, connect, and find a family of growth. Every year, we host retreats, festivals, and workshops around different topics, all for the purpose of self transformation, together. Every seeker of any style is welcome to our spiritual community.

The Way

Our gatherings are 1 to 7 days in length and often include techniques, meditations, group processes, and personal exercises to carry out throughout the day. Some processes are very deep and can often bring up realizations and further clarity for many weeks after the process has been completed.

We have three types of gatherings

These three pillars are essential to spiritual growth. We are dedicated to nurturing them all!

Celebration

Let's get together to celebrate life! Singing and dancing, exploring meditative techniques, connecting with others, expressing our creativity... That's the joy of life!

Healing

For living life to the fullest, we need to heal ourselves. We have many processes, therapies, and meditations from different spiritual masters that can help us be free from our unconscious patterns.

Inquiry

These retreats are specifically for direct insight into one's own Buddha nature.

Our Past Retreats

Feb 2025

Ekant Yog - Silence Retreat

In this retreat we spend 7 days in silence by the grace of Sri Ramana Maharshi and the holy Arunachala Mountain, in Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu. We cultivate our awakening through silence, meditation, and inquiry. This silence retreat takes us deep into knowing oneself beyond the mind.

This time of isolation is a deep rest for the soul, dedicating all our energy and time to go beyond our all internal talk and realize our true nature.

April 2024

Zen Inquiry

In this retreat we go deep into the unconscious mind through a Zen technique called Koan. A koan is an unanswerable question that you have to keep answering, and by answering again and again we go through our inner holdings layer by layer. It’s an amazing technique that can bring you to realization of the true self.

In addition to Koan practice, we also do breathwork and have daily kirtan to open and release each day.
