In its simplest form, Sattva means purity of spirit, and has redefined the experience of retreat. Whether you are seeking to take a rest, feel greater joy, detoxify and cleanse, access the gateway of ancient wisdom, sharpen your intentions, or perhaps have no plan at all, Sattva Retreat offers guidance and flexibility. We invite you to come with a willingness to open your mind and your heart as we support you to experience meaningful possibilities that you can take home with you. More than an oasis of rest and revitalization, Sattva Retreat is a unique blend of ancient and contemporary offerings located on ceremonial ground. As a Sattva Retreat guest you can experience sacred land where great masters, yogis, and mystics of all ages continue to imprint the essence of wisdom that is even more relevant today. Nestled in the powerful energy and natural beauty of the Himalayas, this haven rests alongside a pure waterway that flows down from the mountains and into the Ganges River, revered as “Mother Ganga” by yogis for her healing characteristics that confound classical science. Sattva Retreat is located in the outskirt of the heart of Rishikesh, the birthplace of yoga and ancient wisdom, and home to great Indian epic texts such as the Mahabharata, Bhagavad Gita, and the Upanishads. Every part of this refuge is uniquely designed to revitalize and awaken “reasonless joy” within its guests, whether you come as an individual for a personal retreat or as part of a group experience, one time or many.
