Personal Retreat
Create your own retreat experience with ample time for rest and rejuvenation.
You are Welcome Here Anytime
The Himalayan Institute invites you to visit anytime your heart desires for a personal retreat. Stay as long as you need, settle in, and be at ease. Preserving your inner peace is an act of self-compassion, and we’ve created an environment for gentle self-care, growth, and healing. Here, you can deepen your meditation, nurture your practice, and commune with nature to release what no longer serves you—leaving you renewed and empowered. Our 400-acre campus offers both quiet solitude and opportunities to bond with like-minded people—all in a serene, supportive atmosphere. Our community is a mixture of residents and guests who quickly become friends, creating a unique, safe haven that is rooted in warmth.
When you visit, take off your shoes, and know that you are home.

Weekday Discount During Maha Sri Yaga
Maha Sri Yaga is a six-month group practice of Sri Sukta from September 2025 through March 2026 at the Himalayan Institute in Khajuraho, India. This transformative sadhana weaves together individual intentions into a powerful collective force, invoking a reality of goodness and abundance for the benefit of all.
In honor of this practice, we are offering 20% off Personal Retreat accommodations (Sunday through Thursday) at our Honesdale campus. Although thousands of miles apart, the Sri Vidya Shrine in Honesdale, mirrors the original shrine at Khajuraho and was the first Himalayan Tradition shrine established outside India. As the spiritual heart of the Honesdale campus, it provides a consecrated space for group practices and meditation, reflecting the shared spiritual heritage of both sites.
Your participation from Honesdale will be felt in India, and guests are welcome to study, practice, or simply experience the Sri Sukta, recited daily at 12:30 pm in the Sri Vidya Shrine. All are welcome to join this field of collective consciousness to help nurture a brighter tomorrow.
