High Level Wellness Retreats

Journey with us to beloved India to develop your own personal spiritual practice, or deepen and enhance your existing one, while experiencing a beautiful country of extremes; ancient & chaotic, yet deeply spiritual and full of culture. 

You'll have the opportunity to live a mystical existence in Pune, India with two holistic health counselors who have facilitated retreats to this area many times. Rose Payne is a well-respected teacher at The Institute for Integrative Nutrition as well as the director of High Level Wellness a holistic nutrition center in Cherry Hill, NJ. Deborah Dunn is a long-time yoga, meditation, & breath-work teacher.  Together their knowledge of the country and their practical approach to living every day life in a spiritual way guarantees this trip will be a once in a lifetime experience for all participants. 

We'll fly into Mumbai, staying the first night in a high-end hotel.  We'll travel the following day to Pune where you'll stay in a flat with your own private bedroom and bath, sharing the living space with people from our group.  Ayas (housekeepers) come in 6 days a week to tidy up and do your laundry.  Each flat has a kitchen so you can prepare your breakfast, tea & snacks.  An amazing cook, Rupa, will prepare delicious traditional Indian lunches (vegetarian & non-vegetarian) 5 days a week. We will host 5 dinners out in local, interesting restaurants.

In addition to meals and housing there will be regular activities to support deepening your practice. Some of these include: yoga and breath-work classes, meditation with instruction, journaling, personal growth and development exercises & group process as well as an optional cooking class. Two ayurvedic massages are included in your trip and there will be time to schedule more if you'd like.  

There will be an introduction to the internationally known, Osho Ashram and botanical gardens. Experience several of their unique meditations and dancing, enjoy the lush surroundings, water fountains and an in-ground pool. You will attend a session with a zen master named Dolano, in her open air studio overlooking the Mulamutha River.  In your spare time you will be able to relax, enjoy the local scene or take part in day trips that include visiting busy markets, ancient temples, The Ayurvedic University and The Iyengar Yoga Institute.

There will be two warm-up calls before the trip so you are well prepared and know you'll be absolutely taken care of...
