We are very excited about the upcoming New Year’s retreat. We are working hard to make it comfortable, enjoyable, revitalizing, and of course, blissful! None of that is possible without you and we very much want you to attend our beautiful location in California.

We will enjoy a New Year's celebration of sadhana, kiirtan, and service in-person & online at the stunning Green Mountain Retreat in Los Gatos, CA. Don’t miss out on this wonderful opportunity to experience uplifting kiirtans, deep meditations, personal growth, and welcoming company!

Bliss Retreats are unique events that are carefully crafted to create a highly-charged spiritual environment. They create a safe, sacred space for all, from advanced practitioners to new aspiring yogis; we all deserve to experience joy & fulfillment.

What will happen during the retreat? 

Imagine singing and dancing to blissful kiirtan multiple times a day, meditating with your spiritual family, workshops, and of course satsaunga! This will be a great time to make new friends, learn, have fun, and enjoy delicious food!

The retreat team is still hard at work creating a detailed program. For this particular retreat, the most important thing for us to know is if you're interested in attending. Please register now and pay as much as you can. If you can afford to donate to cover the cost of someone experiencing financial hardship, please do so.

DETAILED RETREAT SCHEDULE

TESTIMONIALS: 

"I attended my first meditation retreat in December 2024 that completely changed my life. Before going, I honestly did not even want to be there, I felt depressed, unmotivated, and disconnected from everything. My friends encouraged me to join, and Dada kindly offered to drive me to the retreat.
During the retreat, I took part in kirtan, meditation, and various uplifting programs. By the end of retreat, something shifted deep inside me. All of a sudden, life felt full of light, positivity, and hope. I could not have been happier.
For the first time, I truly understood what it means when people say that real happiness comes from within. That insight has stayed with me, and I will forever be grateful for the experience.
– Jennifer Lei
