Program Calendar

Immerse yourself into a sacred experience of self love. This unique retreat is focused on cultivating a foundation of a deep loving connection to the self through using the healing power of drinking cacao, yoga asana movement, guided meditation, future self visualization, yoga nidra, EFT Tapping, self inquiry journaling, intention setting practices & a letting go fire ceremony.

Through this self care weekend journey, participants will receive a total mind, body, spirit renewal. We will practice self care techniques and learn how to devote nourishment and rest into daily life. The heart meridian can hold grief and loss, as we continue collectively to navigate back into the re-opened world, it is crucial to nourish any part of the self who experienced great pain and suffering from the pandemic or any other chapter in their life. Drinking cacao with intention is an ancient practice of healing the heart and expanding into our fuller potential as magnificent creators of our dream reality.

3 Yoga Classes, 3 Cacao Ceremonies, 3 Self Love Sessions

This is an opportunity to come home to the self and connect with others who say YES to loving themselves all the way through authentically. Transformation is a beautiful process of life and this intentional offering will guide a total rebirth. All that will be shared in this self love immersion will support a clearing of stress, tension, fatigue- creating a sustainable boost of life vitality, inspiration, and skills to love into mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health.

Each participant will receive a self love care box.

The cacao we will honor in ceremony form will be from Moka Origins. Participants will learn about the origins and have the opportunity to visit the cacao factory and meet the founders of this sacred chocolate company.

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.
