Himalayan Writing Retreat

Himalayan Writing Retreat – I

8-Nov-17 (Wednesday) to 12-Nov-17 (Sunday)

Dreaming of moving your writing forward? Maybe writing a book?

At this writing retreat, expect to work hard and have fun. You will find inspiration to write better and more. The learning is facilitated by Vandita and Chetan – both published authors. The inspiration comes from the Himalayas and the company of writers driven by a shared purpose.

We analyse and understand what holds us back. We learn how to discipline ourselves to become better writers. We spend time understanding the craft of writing. Practicing it. We learn about tools that can help. We take a peek into the world of publishing.

Of course, we punctuate all this with bonfires, forest walks and new friendships. When you leave, you will be part of a close-knit cohort of fellow writers.

Price: ₹24,500 / person

Yoga Yatra III

We just completed Yoga Yatra III with Divya Sunil Yogacharya last Sunday, 10-Sep-2017. As in the case of Yoga Yatra I and II, organizing this event was an extremely satisfying experience for all of us at Binsar Forest Retreat. I had joined the Yatra as a participant this time and it was, at a personal level, tremendously rewarding as well.

Yoga at Binsar Forest Retreat

It was when we were renovating the Retreat in late 2014 that Francois Gautier visited us. We learned a few things: he had lived in what is now our home in Binsar many years ago; Sri Sri Ravi Shankar had visited the Retreat and liked a few hours that he spent here. Francois suggested a Meditation course could be organized at the Retreat, taught by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar himself. The thought has stayed with us.

Over 2 years since this meeting, we were able to organize our first Yoga Retreat. We had 15 participants training in the Yogic way under Divya Sunil Yogacharya.

Binsar has everything the Himalayas have to offer those seeking harmony, within and without. It gives us great satisfaction that we are able to facilitate this journey for our guests. We hope many Yoga / Meditation teachers and students alike will pass through the Retreat on their journey to teach / learn this ancient knowledge which remains as relevant today.

Samagra Yoga

BRINGING LIFE TO LIVING with DIVYA SUNIL YOGACHARYA

Take a break for a few days to invest in your physical, mental and spiritual well-being. The increasing pressures in daily living leave us tired, low and depleted and we neglect the most important part of living – life itself. Samagra Yoga is intended as a path that will heal and revitalize you.

WHAT IS SAMAGRA YOGA?

Samagra Yoga is a practice to lead you into a yogic way of life – to help cleanse the body, mind and soul of the accumulated impurities by learning and following authentic yogic practices and incorporating them in your daily life. You will immediately perceive the difference in your decreased levels of stress, niggles and aches and an upsurge in your positive energy.

WHY SAMAGRA YOGA?

Most yoga teachings restrict themselves to limited aspects of yoga or offer an inadequate interpretation. Samagra Yoga teaches the pure, holistic form of yoga that incorporates the body, mind and soul.

  • Each day starts with asanas, pranayama and mudras
  • Yogic cures and self-management of ailments like cold, flu, backache, cervical pain, knee and joint pains, obesity, etc.
