Program Calendar

Let yourself DREAM BIG. Let your SELF LOVE be BIG.

Celebrate the new year by celebrating YOU. There is great emphasis on you because you are worthy. Each of us is born with gifts and only through taking time to learn what your gifts are, can they manifest into bright creation. This is an invitation to let yourself become liberated through a safe retreat container allowing us to become totally radical in our authentic desires.

Experience a unique weekend retreat immersed in guided practices that support the journey of loving yourself. This will be an intentional weekend to strengthen the muscle of devotion to your life while having fun expressing what your heart wants to create and experience during the new year.

This retreat will support those who are seeking restoration and creation — a total transformation. As we learn useful skills to embody self love, our whole life can begin to change in our favor. Participants will feel confident and supported for a lasting effect of inspiration.

Through connection to self and a bright community, we will gather to declare our dream year. Creating a community and welcoming expansion.

What if this year is the year to devote to your dreams? The numerology of 2023 is defined as the year of the “7”, meaning there is infinite access to abundance, opportunity, and ability to restore and receive with ease.

This retreat happens during the FIRST new moon of 2023, the ultimate timeline to set intentions.

Workshops will be focused on alchemizing limitations through practices of:
  • Moka Origins Cacao Ceremonies / Music
  • Crystal Sound Bath Meditation
  • EFT Tapping
  • Yoga / Somatic Movement
  • Breathwork / Yoga Nidra
  • Guided Visualization / Subconscious Restoring
  • Self Love Workshop
  • Dream Vision Map Planning
  • New Moon Celebration
  • Community Connection / Share circle

Each participant will receive a luxurious self love package. Loving ourself is the greatest gift that we can give to others.

Tuition is sliding scale $299-$499 to help support the creation of Retreat Scholarship Opportunities starting in Spring 2023. Please note, the sliding scale is for the retreat tuition only. The sliding scale does not include accommodation rates at the Himalayan Institute.

Retreat Center Highlights

Sacred Space
The Sri Vidya Shrine is the spiritual heart of the Himalayan Institute. This sanctuary offers an ideal setting for silent meditation and group spiritual practice, a cornerstone of the Himalayan Tradition for thousands of years. Open to seekers of all backgrounds and traditions, the Shrine provides a serene, sacred space for meditation, quiet reflection, prayer, and contemplation.
Nourishing Meals
Our nutritionally balanced vegetarian meals are thoughtfully prepared to nourish body, mind, and spirit. Each of our three daily meals is designed to be easily digestible and to support a meditative lifestyle. Sharing meals here naturally fosters connection, offering both deep nourishment and a sense of community.
Loving Community
The Himalayan Institute welcomes people from all walks of life. With a blend of short-term guests, long-term visitors, and a vibrant residential community, the atmosphere here is warm, inviting, and rooted in kindness, generosity, and service. It’s a place where friendships form naturally, often becoming the kind of connections that feel like family, and last a lifetime.
Rest in Nature
Nestled in the rolling hills of the Poconos, the Himalayan Institute’s 400-acre campus offers breathtaking views, scenic hiking trails, and quiet spaces for reflection and contemplation. Walking is a favorite activity, whether along our groomed trails or meandering paved roads, inviting both movement and mindful presence in nature.
Conscious Simplicity
At the Himalayan Institute, we embrace simplicity in all aspects of life, from our surroundings to our approach to yoga. By minimizing distractions, we create space to strengthen the inner self and quiet the mind. Guided by authenticity and grounded in philosophy rather than frills, we support a path of meaningful personal growth.
Treat Yourself
Our Himalayan Café serves the Institute’s signature chai, coffee, and homemade cookies and treats on Saturday and Sunday mornings. The 24/7 Tea Lounge offers a variety of herbal teas for anytime enjoyment. On campus, the MOKA Origins Factory is open daily from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., offering handcrafted, ethically sourced chocolate and coffee, with free tours and tastings on Saturdays.
