  Descrição

  My name is Amod, born in Indian Himalayas near Gangotri - the origin of the holy Gaanga river. I have been running a hotel right on the banks of the Gaanga serving mostly tourists coming on pilgrimage from May to October. During the off season from November to April, the hotel is not so busy and I would like to convert it into a place spiritual seekers. My wife and I are Vipassana meditators and we would like to open our space to invite those looking for a peaceful place to do their sadhana. We're thinking to have an initial five day self-retreat period where you create your own schedule (besides Aarti at 7pm) and will have two meals a day. During this time guidance will be available to you if you need but otherwise silence should be mostly observed. After these five days you are welcome to stay here and join our family and help out with cooking and cleaning. More than a work exchange we're looking to attract people who want to take time for themselves and their practice away from distractions in the heart of the Himalayas.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  The sound of the Gaanga will be with you always, you can go for a dip everyday just downstairs. The energy of the Himalayas is immense here, there is 5,000 years of history here and many Swamis creating a high vibration with their practice. There are endless places to walk around here and see the local culture of the villages near by. There is also a Sivananda Hatha Yoga ashram 2km away. Uttarkashi is 6km away, the temple city with a lively market. 30km from here is Gangnani with natural hotsprings and Gaangotri is 3 hours away if you want to do a day trip.
  You'll have a chance to eat local traditional food. In this area you'll find people who talk from their heart, not their mind.

  Ajuda

  What I am looking for is people with the intention to meditate and go deeper into their practice. This is our priority. I have seven years of Vipassana experience as well as other meditation techniques, I am happy to teach anyone who is interested. Everyone is welcome as long as they agree to spend their five days in silence focused on meditation. We hope for earnest people to come for a five-day sort of retreat, focusing only on their meditation. If you wish to stay longer here afterwards, there is some seva around the hotel, maybe cooking or cleaning, they can contribute., The help we require them to make food for themsleves only,not the paying customers of the hotel

  Algo mais...

  You can take a shared taxi or bus from Rishikesh to Uttarkashi and then we'll come a pick you up from there. Or come by your own vehicle.
  No smoking or drinking.
  During the five days of retreat we expect you stay in general silence.
  
  This project is something I have been wanting to do for years now. As you'll see for yourself, this is a truly magical spot, you can fall asleep and wake up to the sound of Maata Gaange flowing beneath you. Our only desire is to share this space with people who want to take advantage of the high vibrations of the Himalayas and submerge themselves in their practice.
  We are open to hearing from you about your needs and figuring out this project together.
