Winter Retreat
with Guruji Sri Vast
Throughout life all efforts are made, in different ways and different forms, with the ultimate goal of finding the true Self. No matter what we do and how we do it, we are looking for this awakened state, recapturing our natural inner peace, joy and freedom.
This 12-day retreat welcomes you to a deep inner journey towards yourself. Immersed in the loving and graceful presence of the Master, we open up to our deepest essence.
Guruji Sri Vast's Teachings
Experience Guruji Sri Vast – a Living Master, mystic, and poet, full of authentic joy, love, grace & a flow of natural wisdom, teaching celebration of Life as a way to total liberation.
The message is a grounded, awakening spirituality, directly applicable in our practical everyday life. It is an inspiration to connect ourselves with every moment naturally so that we can experience the wholeness of our own existence.
Encountering a living Master
To gather in the presence of a Master is to experience a profound feeling of home where the core of our being is unconditionally accepted. While the mind listens to the Master’s words, the Master’s silence communicates with our heart.
Taking part in a retreat with Guruji Sri Vast is a very profound, transformative experience. Unique self-realizations take place in the presence of the beloved Master – full of wisdom, laughter, love and humor.

Life happens only once in this way. You are a unique existence and you have the possibility to experience this life form in a unique way, which belongs to you and cannot be taken away from you. This journey can be a totally different experience.

Satsang
Satsang is a profound gathering around the truth – exploring the deepest meaning of life. In direct contact with the Master, we can ask questions which are most important to us at this point in our lives. When we are open to letting ourselves be touched by the wisdom of the Master, deep insights can reveal themselves and new doors may open.
Guruji’s Teachings can become a catalyst for a deep transformation of one’s life. They offer practical guidance on steps we can take to reach our goals, liberate ourselves from past holdings and patterns, and fulfill our purpose in this life.
Liberate, totally Liberate, until the question of Liberation
disappears within you. Flow, just flow with the Life.
In that flow you and me will disappear.
The comparison of your inner and outer world will disappear.
Without knowing you will realize
that you are already there.
Meet and celebrate the life through the eyes of an enlightened Master
