Practices that change lives
Mandala drawing is a meditative practice in which creating symmetrical patterns and shapes helps calm the mind, enter a state of concentration, and express inner experiences on paper. Working with color and form activates the right hemisphere of the brain, eases mental tension, and allows access to intuitive knowledge that is difficult to express in words. Each mandala that is created becomes a reflection of your inner state at the moment of practice and can serve as a tool for self-discovery and energetic balance.
Mandala drawing
Mantra chanting is the ancient practice of repeating sacred sounds which, through vibration, affects the nervous system, balances the chakras, and brings the mind into a meditative state. With the experienced facilitator Maria Finkelstein, you will discover the beauty and power of your own voice, learn how to use the breath to enhance sound, and feel how group chanting creates a special energetic field. This practice does not require musical skills — sincerity and a willingness to allow the voice to resonate freely are what matter.
Mantra Chanting
Dynamic meditation helps quickly release physical and emotional tension, preparing the body and mind for a meditation in silence. Three meditation sessions throughout the day ensure the maintenance of inner balance. The group format enhances the effectiveness of the practice: collective energy helps you enter a meditative state more easily and sustain it longer than in individual practice.
Collective Meditations
Asana classes are exercises designed to develop strength, flexibility, and endurance of the body through continuous performance of physical postures (asanas). Each class includes a warm-up, a central sequence with a gradual increase in the difficulty of the postures, and relaxation at the end of the practice. This structure allows safe work with the body and gradual deepening of the practice, while simultaneously stimulating and balancing the activity of glands directly connected to the energy centers—the chakras. This comprehensive approach affects not only the physical body but also hormonal balance, emotional state, and the energetic system as a whole, preparing our mind for deeper meditation practice.
Asana Classes
During the sound healing session you will dive into an ocean of healing vibrations, where the sounds of ancient instruments become conduits to the depths of your being, dissolve energetic blockages, and awaken inner healing resources. Each sound wave attunes the body and mind to frequencies of harmony, restoring the natural state of balance and wholeness that we often lose in daily routine.
Sound Healing Session
Seasonal Ayurvedic recipes for balancing the chakras: medicinal herbs, oils, practices, and rituals for each season. The secrets of Ayurveda will be revealed by Didi Ananda Sanjana – an experienced therapist and instructor who leads detox programs in several European countries.
Lecture by Didi Ananda Sanjana: "The Secrets of Ayurveda for Balancing the Chakras"
Spiritual conversations with Dada Sadananda are an opportunity to receive answers to deep questions about the nature of consciousness, emotions, the chakra system, and the spiritual path from an experienced teacher with many years of meditation and yoga practice. Dada explains where emotions live in the body, how the energy centers function, whether they can be physically felt, and how through asanas and breathing we influence the chakras and change fixed personality patterns. These conversations create a space for sincere questions, sharing experiences, and receiving practical recommendations for working with the energy system and developing awareness.
Lecture by Dada Sadananda: "Seven Chakras - Seven Sources of Energy"
In collective practice a special energy is born – each person brings their own light, and together we create a wave of goodness that transforms not only us, but also the space around us. Join us – let’s create together a space of peace and goodness!

* Avarta Kirtan — Collective chanting of the mantra with circular body movements and a rhythmic step. Each avarta is one complete cycle of singing and dance. Kirtan cleanses the mind, cultivates devotion, and strengthens collective consciousness.
* Kaoshiki — A yogic dance for women and men consisting of 18 movements with 22 confirmed beneficial effects for health. It helps regulate the endocrine system, strengthens the spine, and awakens spiritual sensitivity.
* Lalita Marmika — Movements of dynamic meditation. This is a powerful bio-psychological practice that harmonizes the mind at the level of the body and brings it into a resourceful state.
* Panchadjaṅya — A morning meditation held at 5:00 AM at the moment of spiritual awakening. The name literally means “five births” and symbolizes the victory of spirit over the inertia of sleep.
* Partial Bath— A partial cleansing before practice: washing hands, feet, and face. This purifies the body and psyche and prepares one for meditation.
* Pravachan — A short inspiring talk or speech on spirituality, practice, or philosophy.
* Prabhat Samgit — “Songs of the New Dawn.” These are spiritual songs written by Sri Sri Anandamurti. Their purpose is to elevate consciousness, awaken devotion, and attune the mind to subtle vibrations.
* Sadhana Shivir — An intensive program of spiritual practice consisting of three cycles of dynamic and static meditation.
* Tandava — The ancient yogic dance of warriors, introduced by Shiva about 7,000 years ago. It involves knee-raising jumps, symbolizing victory over the fear of death and the development of courage. It increases hormonal activity and strengthens the nervous system.
* JAM Kirtan — A free, improvisational format of collective mantra singing in which participants create music together in a live flow. Unlike traditional kirtan with a fixed structure, JAM Kirtan embraces spontaneity, musical interaction, rotating leads, and the addition of instruments and rhythms inspired by the moment. The main goal is not performance, but the shared experience of joy, unity, and the uplifting vibration of the mantra.
* RAWA — A spiritually creative concert where art, music, dance, and literature serve as instruments of spiritual awakening and communal inspiration.

Children’s program: when children feel good – parents feel even better
For young souls open to all the wonders of the world
We have prepared a special program for children, aimed at revealing their creative potential and simply giving them joy. Children will enjoy engaging workshops and yoga classes for kids led by two attentive educators.
While you go through your own "reset" program, your children will happily engage in interesting and beneficial activities – without boredom and in a warm, friendly atmosphere.
The program is intended for children aged 4 to 15.

Before receiving a personal spiritual practice, preparation is required – about 100 hours of meditation with the mantra Baba Nam Kevalam.
This preparation stage helps calm and strengthen the mind, creating the necessary foundation for mastering more advanced techniques.
When you complete this basic practice and feel inner readiness, contact the retreat organizers; they will refer you to the Acharya – he will perform the initiation and open the next stage of practice for you.
