Discovery Expedition to India

Discovery expedition to the Soul of Spirituality, in India

India 2026

Awakening the Subtle Within

.

.

Welcome

India: a land of profound wisdom traditions, where spiritual practices have been cultivated for millennia to guide seekers toward truth, compassion, and inner freedom. This 11-day Discovery Expedition is not a tourist itinerary, but a pilgrimage of discovery — into the landscapes of the Himalayas, the living roots of yoga, the depth of Buddhist philosophy, and the subtle energies that connect us all.

SThrough immersion in sacred places — from the Tibetan community of Dharamshala, and the Yogananda School of Spirituality and Happiness at Shoolini University, to the ashrams of Rishikesh, and the Soul·Full encounters in Delhi — you will uncover not only India’s external beauty and culture but also the timeless pathways to self-realization. 

This journey is designed to awaken inner awareness, nurture collective wisdom, and expand your sense of connection to life itself.
