Participants will engage in a daily schedule similar to that of the Vedanta Academy in India, including lectures, group discussions, early morning study, yoga, gentle hiking, music, poetry and nourishing meals.
Living is an art, a skill, a technique. You need to learn and practice it As you would play a musical instrument or fly an aircraft - Swami A. Parthasarathy.
This retreat has been conceived to provide an opportunity to take a step back from the stress of daily life and immerse yourself in a weekend dedicated to personal development and well-being.
This ancient philosophy presents the eternal principles of life and living. It programmes a life of mental peace combined with dynamic action in the world. It equips one with clarity of intellect to eliminate stress and gain success by dealing with life's challenges.
Above all, its philosophy leads one to the ultimate goal of human perfection, absolute peace and happiness.
The retreat aims to establish a more lasting state of human maturity. Seasoned teachers disseminate authentic, time-honoured ideas to bring about inner transformation.

Dr. Sundeep Ruder
In a world driven by accumulation and achievement, Dr. Sundeep
Ruder is a rare human—a medical specialist who quietly turned
inward decades ago, seeking not success, but truth. For 16 years,
he has studied Vedanta philosophy under the direct guidance of
Swami A. Parthasarathy, one of the great living masters of this
ancient tradition. Where modern life chases comfort and
possession, Dr. Ruder has pursued the spiritual goal of human life:
self-understanding and lasting freedom from the restlessness of
the mind.
By profession an endocrinologist, his vast medical experience with
the fragile human body has only deepened his grasp of the human
condition. He has seen how unchecked desires and unconscious
patterns manifest as disease. He is not a guru. He is an authentic
seeker sharing what he has lived and learned
