Why add this expedition to your Panchakarma retreat?
- India’s ancient wonders and sacred sites hold profound healing energy that you can feel, simply by being in them
- By visiting these sacred sites before your Panchakarma, you will be far more vibrationally, emotionally, and spiritually receptive to the treatments provided to you
- You’ll also engage in a variety of group meditations and spiritual experiences designed to heal and transform you on an even deeper level
- This is a rare opportunity to cleanse your energetic and spiritual body before your Panchakarma, creating space for a fuller, more complete healing
- You will even explore ‘forbidden’ ancient wisdom full of fascinating, soul-expanding insights into the true nature of humanity and what we’re really capable of
Before your Panchakarma begins, a private group of participants will join us for an expedition like no other…
Together, we’ll journey deep into the heart of India’s ancient civilizations…
Exploring legendary cities, sacred temples, and awe-inspiring architectural wonders.
But this isn’t just a sightseeing trip; it’s something far greater…
Because through the power of collective meditation and immersive spiritual experiences, we will draw on the incredible healing energy that still resides within these sacred sites…
And harness it to fully restore our bodies, minds, and spirits, embodying the truth of who we really are in the process.
If you seek the deepest, most fulfilling, and most enduring healing at your Panchakarma retreat, we highly recommend joining this optional (but incredibly powerful) expedition.
Sacred Elements of Ancient India Expedition
Unearthing ancient India’s greatest wisdom through the 5 elements of creation
In this expedition, you’ll experience a profound awakening of the mind, heart, and soul as you join us for a journey into ancient India’s most sacred sites and ancient landscapes – each embodying one of the five elements of creation, known as the Pancha Mahabhutas.
From mysterious caves and caverns, to breathtaking historical islands, rivers, and cities, to ancestral structures built with technology far exceeding modern know-how, we’ll examine the evidence proving there’s more to these locations than meets the eye; while also tapping into their profound energy through powerful group meditations and guided spiritual ceremonies.
We will even return to Dwarka, the location of my first-ever documentary film, to dig deeper into the secrets of the mysterious sunken city now known as “the Atlantis of the east”. This is far from just a sightseeing trip: it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to ‘drink from the source’ as we search for sacred knowledge and illuminating truths that shine light on the true nature, origins, and capabilities of the human species.
This retreat is for you if:
You’re passionate about ancient wisdom and the discovery of knowledge, untold stories, and hidden truths that can be harnessed to understand our past and create a better future
You’re searching for a spiritual awakening, or a way to once again feel alive, inspired, and connected to yourself and the world around you
You want to experience the profound energetic frequencies of these ancient locations, many of which are said to awaken deep wellness, peace, and connection to the divine
You’d like to connect with like-minded explorers who share your passion for personal growth and the spiritual dimensions of the human experience
Or if you’ve watched my documentary, Dwarka: Atlantis of the East, and you’d like to explore this fascinating historical site for yourself
Sacred Elements of Ancient India Expedition Itinerary
Day 1 & 2: New Delhi (Ether element)
View Details
September 9th – 10th 2025
Ether is the element of space and awareness, as well as stillness and potential. In Delhi, we create inner space, set intentions, and open to the journey ahead.
As India’s vibrant capital, New Delhi is a city where centuries-old traditions and ancient secrets intertwine with modern life. After an intimate group welcome dinner on your day of arrival, you’ll journey through three sanctuaries of healing and insight: Akshardham Temple with its intricate carvings and sacred geometry, the Lotus Temple with its open arms and silent embrace, and the Gandhi Memorial at Raj Ghat which offers a quiet field of reflection on the energy of peace, truth, and nonviolence.
Day 3 & 4: Agra, The City of the Taj Mahal (Air element)
View Details
September 11th – 12th 2025
Air is breath and movement. In Agra, we reflect on love, beauty, and the clarity that comes from pausing to truly take it all in.
Your next excursion takes you to Agra, home to the iconic Taj Mahal, a timeless symbol of love, beauty, and legacy. While its marble façade draws millions, its design holds deeper stories of hidden chambers, sacred geometry, and symbolism woven into every detail. You’ll also visit Mehtab Bagh, a peaceful riverside garden offering a unique view of the Taj at sunset, and the elegant “Baby Taj”, a smaller but stunning monument that inspired the Taj Mahal’s architecture. Later, you’ll explore the impressive Red Fort, a powerful seat of Mughal rule and a silent witness to India’s struggle for independence.
Day 5 & 6: Dwarka (Water element)
View Details
September 13th – 14th 2025
Water is depth, mystery, and inner knowing. In Dwarka, we explore the truth beneath the surface and connect with the timeless wisdom that flows through sacred waters.
Your adventure in Dwarka begins by revisiting the mystery explored in my documentary film – the underwater ruins believed to be remnants of Krishna’s legendary kingdom, submerged beneath the Arabian Sea. At Bet Dwarka, an island said to be the residence of Krishna himself, you’ll explore ancient temples that still echo his presence. Next, we’ll visit Nageshwar Jyotirlinga, one of the 12 sacred Shiva shrines in India, home to a towering Shiva statue and a revered temple. Finally, at Gomti Ghat, where the holy Gomti River meets the ocean, you’ll be invited to join a series of immersive cleansing rituals.
Day 7 & 8: Somnath Temple (Fire element)
View Details
September 15th – 16th 2025
Fire is transformation. At Somnath Temple, we honor the power of ritual and let go of what we no longer need – making space for renewal.
At Somnath, we arrive at one of the most sacred and storied Shiva temples in India – a place said to have withstood destruction and rebirth across millennia. Perched on the edge of the Arabian Sea, the temple stands where Lord Shiva’s light is believed to have first pierced the earth, marking it as the first of the twelve Jyotirlingas. As we walk its grounds and witness the evening light and sound show, we connect with a deeper current of resilience and transformation.
Day 9: Ajanta Caves (Earth element)
View Details
September 17th 2025
Earth represents grounding and stability. At Ajanta, ancient stone carvings connect us to wisdom, presence, and a deeper sense of rootedness.
Tucked into a horseshoe-shaped cliffside, the Ajanta Caves open a portal into ancient India’s spiritual and artistic brilliance. Carved between the 2nd century BCE and 5th century CE, these 30 rock-cut sanctuaries are adorned with intricate murals and sculptures that bring to life the teachings of the Buddha. As you walk through dimly lit chambers, you’ll witness both Hinayana and Mahayana expressions of early Buddhism – etched into stone with extraordinary care. Here, we’ll sit in meditation inside the caves, letting the calm presence of this sacred site deepen our inner reflection.
Day 10:
Ellora (All elements)
View Details
September 18th 2025
Ellora represents the integration of all five elements, showing how different paths and philosophies can coexist in balance.
Our expedition culminates at Ellora, where 34 ancient rock-cut temples and monasteries stand as a testament to India’s spiritual and artistic brilliance. Carved between the 6th and 10th centuries CE, these caves bring together the sacred traditions of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism in one place. At the heart lies the magnificent Kailasa Temple, a monolithic structure dedicated to Lord Shiva, carved entirely from a single rock. As we explore the surrounding caves and sit in meditation within these timeless chambers, you’ll be invited to reflect on the wisdom and healing energy gathered throughout your journey, and harness it to bring greater clarity, balance, and purpose to your life moving forward.
