  • LOCATION
    Shree Swami Premodaya Ashram ~ Malibu, CA 90265

  • PROGRAM
    A full 3-day program (3 nights/3 days) of spiritual consciousness, concentrated self-awareness and societal de-conditioning with Bodhisattva Shree Swami Premodaya.

    Swami Premodaya invites you to step directly into the lucid awareness of the vast and unending divine reality—beyond all joys or sorrows, beyond any fixed beliefs or limiting ideas, beyond this body and its apparent life and death, and even beyond the most exquisite bodily experiences or states of mind. When the sacred nature of life is contacted, only love and gratitude remain—flowering perennially within a life characterized by ever more surrender to the truth of universality, and communion with the palpable divine.

  • ACCOMMODATIONS/AMENITIES
    3 days/3 nights, multiple occupancy (dorm-style), with assorted sleeping facilities including beds, bunk beds/trundle, and air mattresses (for those who wish to sleep outdoors under the stars [on the deck], warm and comfortable sleeping arrangements are available).

    Retreat to the tranquil, meditative, country mansion setting of Shree Swami Premodaya Ashram, high atop the Trancas Canyon promontory in the oceanside resort city of world-famous Malibu, California. Luxuriate on our expansive deck, with panoramic views of the Pacific ocean and rolling hillsides. You'll likely spot the elegant deer and majestic bucks who roam our hills and gardens (if you're up early, you'll see them in our property garden-front or driveway, foraging in our rosemary bushes, mustard plants, and yellow daisies), as well as the colorful wild parrots and awesome eagles, hawks and ospreys who routinely fly overhead. And of course, you'll be charmed by the ever-present hummingbirds that flit about the property from dawn to dusk. Be sure to be out on our deck for Malibu's flaming gold and crimson sunsets. And later, bathe your eyes with the shimmering silvery moonscapes that nighttime paints over the ocean. When the day is over, you'll fall asleep to the contented sounds of chirping crickets, croaking frogs and our own wise old mister hoot owl—set against the soft lull of ocean waves—reminding you that you have definitely left the city far behind, for your retreat in the Tuscany-reminiscent countryside hills, peacefully nestled above the clouds.
