Program Calendar
May this be the Summer to let your SELF-LOVE be BIG.

Celebrate the arrival of Summer by celebrating YOU. There is great emphasis on you because you are worthy. Each of us is born with unique aspirations 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.

Summer is a very potent time to utilize nature as our great companion. Nature wants us to thrive and to be our most absolute brightest self.

Experience a unique weekend retreat immersed in the practices of self-love. This will be a journey to strengthen the muscle of dedication to your life while having fun expressing what your heart wants to create and experience during the season of Summer.

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

The Summer Solstice is a spiritual high point of the year. As the midpoint of the year & the longest day of the year, it is a very mighty time to honor new beginnings.

The emotion associated with summer and the Fire element is Joy. When our Fire energy is balanced within us, joy is a warm & expansive feeling in our chest. There is a feeling of contentment; life is good no matter what comes.

Through connection to self and a bright community, we will gather to declare our Summer. Creating within a community allows for expansion. What if this season was the season to devote to your dreams!

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.
