About the Retreat
For years, Anuttara Ashram has stood as a testament to the power of community, a sanctuary woven together by the threads of love and shared purpose. As we stand at a crossroads, navigating uncertain terrain and the winds of change, we invite you to join us in this sacred space for what will be a poignant gathering. This will be a week dedicated to the magic of community – a gathering infused with the spirit of yoga, meditation, fire ceremonies, kirtan, and spiritual philosophy amidst the rustic charm of our off-grid retreat. Given the uncertain future of Anuttara Ashram, with the possibility of closure looming, this may be one of our final opportunities to come together in this cherished space.
A Retreat Run by Community:
In the absence of hired staff, this retreat will be a true labor of love, co-created by each participant. Classes and sessions will be led by Artemis, Bhairav, and other senior teachers at Anuttara Ashram, guiding us with their wisdom and experience. Together, we will prepare meals, wash the dishes, and hold space for one another, embracing the beauty of communal living and the inherent richness it brings.
