We believe there’s a growing need for shared experience that bring us back to what matters. A space where we can come together, cultivate belonging, and explore the bigger questions.

Last Friday we partnered with our friends @simonleeyoga and @risewithrumour for a 3 hr yin and sound journey to regulate our nervous system, practice presence, and reconnect to our spirit and sense.

Thanks to @wilsondorset and @soen.nz for supporting our first session.

Not just to see a different world, but to question the one you know.

In Varanasi, we step into a world of chaos, contradiction and ancient traditions. We also spend time looking at J. Krishnamurti’s enquiries which challenge us to question everything we think we know.

In Rishikesh, we make space to slow down, practice and engage with the traditions of yoga and meditation.

In Tiruvannamalai, we encounter the teachings of Ramana Maharshi and the fundamental question at the heart of this expedition: *Who am I?*

Three places. Different experiences. An invitation to look more closely at ourselves and the world around us.

Not a search for ready made answers, but an opportunity to explore the questions that matter.

Join us for a three-hour immersion on the cusp of the new moon.

@simonleeyoga will guide you through an extended yin yoga practice — while @risewithrumour creates the soundscape using bowls, guitar and vocals.

This is a space to stop, to listen, to bask in beauty and to find your own clarity. Allowing the body to unwind, nervous system to settle and mind to sharpen towards the deeper questions in life.

A natural time in the moon calendar for turning inward. The ending of one cycle, creating the space to open to what's next.

Here I explore the difficulty in translating Sanskrit words to English, and offer an interpretation of Yoga which may flip the script you've been running.

MEET YOUR GUIDES - Vinny, Marko and Simon.

We bring together our unique experiences, practices and perspectives to this carefully curated expedition. India has shaped our lives beyond the books, retreats and trainings and that’s what we want to share with you. This is the journey we wished existed when we first sought out a deeper encounter.

‘Opening the doors we have found useful to walk through ourselves.’

➡️ to find out more

VINNY

A social entrepreneur whose life is a homage to India’s core teaching of selfless service. Raised in India, Vinayak has spent the past decade crossing the sub-continent, apprenticing with masters from multiple lineages. In New Zealand he channels that wisdom through intentional gatherings and many years of teaching meditation inside the prison system. He reads a group’s pulse instinctively, keeping the journey orientated toward insight and compassion.

SIMON

A travelling educator, Simon weaves Tantric Hatha Yoga, Restorative/Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra and Ayurvedic thought into one coherent arc. Rooted in Sāṁkhya philosophy and inspired by the rhythms of nature, he designs practices that restore the nervous system and spark a deeper sense of self-inquiry. He has immersed also in traditional Māori healing practices, finding a unique passion in bridging diverse cultures, recognising all as one. He holds the daily cadence—morning practice, breath, silence—so each layer of experience settles into embodied harmony.

MARKO

Marko is an initiate in Babaji’s Kriyā lineage, Vedanta practitioner and is well practiced in the Vipassanā meditation technique, having sat over 70 days in silence. He is a deep questioner, seeking to verify through direct felt experience, rather than taking things at face value. His focus is on helping others clarify their thoughts, feelings, and desires, and apply them to a practical strategy for daily life. He works through simple steps that bring real change and clarity. He offers space for people to see what matters most to them and follow it with confidence.

This expedition is NOT for everyone.
And that’s ok.
We’re looking for people who are seeking an expedition not a holiday. Searching for something deeper, authentic and real.
Who come with open eyes, an open mind and an open heart.

If this is you, apply within.

Every application is carefully and lovingly reviewed and requires a connection call with the team to establish whether this journey is the right fit for you.

DM us today for more details.

A call to the curious,

This is your invitation 🫵

Join an intimate group of journeyers, seekers and soul-led humans on a pilgrimage to Mother India for a 18 day immersion from 14-31 January 2027.

On this journey we will:

✅ Deepen into practice with daily yoga & meditation.

✅ Immerse in Vedic philosophy & wisdom teachings including trips to Krishnamurti Study Centre and Ramana Maharshi Ashram.

✅ Serve the body with Ayurvedic workshops and consultations - India’s ancient health system.

✅ Connect to the land from the foothills of the Himalayas to the source of the holy Ganga.

✅ Partake in sacred fire rituals and temple ceremonies.

This is not a sight-seeing tour. This is a soul-shifting experience with each intentional location and immersion selected for your self-exploration. The intention is for you to carry the essence of India with you far beyond this trip.

This journey is for you if you’re ready to go deeper - into yourself, into ancient wisdom, into something that can’t be explained, only experienced.

Are you ready for India? DM for more information and to book a connection call.

Join us for a rare three-hour immersion where the ancient roots of yin and yoga meet the living tradition of Indian classical music.

Simon will guide you through an extended yin yoga practice — long, slow holds that invite the being inwards.

Sanya's voice will weave classical ragas, creating a soundscape that carries you deeper into stillness with every breath.

This is a space that holds you. Where the body unwinds, the nervous system settles, and something quieter in you gets to speak. We work with sound, stillness, intuition and the deeper layers of self.

On the cusp of the new moon — a natural time for turning inward. The ending of one cycle, creating the space to open to what's next.

Candlelit. Limited spaces.

To book: please message for booking link.

Please bring a yoga mat, water, comfortable warm clothes, a thin blanket and an open heart. Limited yoga mats available if required.
