Private Darshan Retreat with Shunyamurti
7-Day Private Retreats
Darshan is a Sanskrit term for a sacred meeting with a spiritual teacher, acharya, guru, sage, or other holy being. This can result in initiation, transmission of shakti—spiritual energy—and blessings for healing and God-realization.
A Personal Encounter with Shunyamurti
Shunyamurti has decided it is time to offer personal meetings with serious seekers of Truth.
This precious chance to receive initiation from Shunyamurti directly—and shift your vibrational frequency immediately to that of divine love and realization of your God-Self—may not last for long, since events in this world are accelerating rapidly toward social collapse and total chaos. We hope sincere aspirants will take advantage while the window of opportunity remains open!
Though it is ideal to immerse yourself in an energy field of peace and divine love for a significant period of meditation, study, and individual processing of internal obstacles to make spiritual progress toward God-realization, this new form of brief retreats is
designed to maximize your stabilization in the highest vibrational frequency in the shortest possible time. These retreats feature an individual session with Shunyamurti as well as complete immersion in our ashram energy field and community life for the duration of your stay.
In addition to classes and meditation sittings with adept yogis, you will be offered a tour of our grounds, including our magical food gardens and thriving greenhouses. The evenings provide you with a variety of sangha gatherings including documentary or feature films, devotional singing, or spiritual theater games, and more often silent or guided meditations, Satsangs with Shunyamurti, or other offerings of our wisdom school.

Testimonials
“Working with Shunyamurti was very interesting. From the teachings, I new that he was very insightful in different topics. With just a few words with him, I was able to see he was tuning in to what was going on with me. He gave me some really great things to realize, think about, and mostly realizations. It was very good for me to hear that because I have been doing a lot of spiritual work for a few years. In the process, when there is a relapse (of the ego), it can be frustrating and it feels like being back on ground zero again. Shunyamurti helped me realize that is not the case, it is just a matter of having an awareness of what is going on. Everything made sense again!”
~Mestre Marcelo Pereria, Brazil
“You need an example of someone that you can aspire to, and Shunya has been that for me. To express all of that unconditional love and acceptance of everyone regardless of who they are. Having that unconditional love and support. I am going to take the example that I got from Shunya and see everyone as the Divine and cultivate that within myself.”
~Chantelle, South Africa
