Program Calendar
The Union of Science and Spirituality

Join us for an immersive workshop designed to facilitate profound thought and self-discovery from a holistic viewpoint. The sessions will cover the therapeutic aspects of the “hard problem of consciousness”, relativity, superposition, the observer effect, entanglement and a true understanding of Einstein’s famous equation, E = mc2.

Participants will also learn about the neuro-chemical explanation of personal healing, along with a cohesive presentation on the commonalities found in the world’s oldest beliefs and philosophies. You will also embark on a transformative journey through the physical body and subtle bodies incorporating breath work, meditation, relaxation techniques, intentional movement practices, and insights from various spiritual disciplines, science and self study.

This workshop seeks to unlock psychological and spiritual wisdom allowing individuals to connect with their inner selves and foster holistic well-being. Practical takeaways will be provided for daily life integration.

Insights from speaker Steve Treu’s two books, “New Eyes: A Unifying Vision of Science and Spirituality” and “Hope is Dope: Achieving Chemical Balance” will be highlighted throughout the weekend.

Whether you are new to yoga or counseling psychology, or have significant experience, this workshop offers valuable tools to enhance your personal practice and broaden your horizons.

Seize this opportunity to harmonize your mind, body and spirit, nurturing a sense of peace and clarity as you explore your limitless potential.

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.
