Celebration & Rejuvenation: a sacred pilgrimage

There is a place where the air itself feels alive with prayer.

Where the river is a Goddess, the mountains are sages, and every footstep is an offering.

That place is India.

And She is calling you home.

This is more than a retreat—it is a pilgrimage of celebration, remembrance, and deep rejuvenation. A journey into the birthplace of Yoga and the wisdom traditions that nourish the soul.

Awaken through celebration and community

We begin our time together by joining the 7th annual Sattva Summit—a global gathering of conscious seekers, teachers, and Yogis from around the world. Held at a sacred campus nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas, this week is a living transmission of Yogic wisdom in its most expansive, integrated form.

Each day, you’ll be immersed in:

• Sacred morning rituals and sunrise meditations

• Yoga journeys led by master teachers, including my beloved teacher, Anand Mehrotra

• Wisdom talks, mantra, kirtan, and satsang

• Cultural offerings and excursions that invite you into the heart of India’s spirit

More than practices, these are portals.

Return to balance, rooted in your own essence

After the vibrancy of the Summit, we’ll move into a slower rhythm—retreating to a peaceful Ayurvedic center where your body, mind, and spirit will be deeply cared for.

You’ll receive:

• A one-on-one pulse diagnosis with a skilled Vaidya (Ayurvedic doctor)

• A custom treatment plan tailored to your unique constitution

• Six personalized Ayurvedic treatments across three full days

• Foundational teachings to integrate Ayurveda into modern life

• Nourishing vegetarian meals and space to truly rest and receive

This is healing as the ancients intended it: natural, personalized, and deeply intelligent.

Sacred Encounters & Rituals

Along the way, we’ll visit temples both ancient and elemental. You’ll have the opportunity to:

• Participate in a sacred dipping ritual in the holy Ganges

• Attend the Ganga Aarti, an evening fire ceremony by the river

• Explore the spiritual pulse of Rishikesh through guided visits and spontaneous moments of grace

These are not just outings. They are invitations to remember who you are beneath the noise of the world.

By the end of our time together, you’ll feel enlivened with your authentic radiance. Awake with your own inner wisdom, rooted in Living wisdom that stretch back through time, and carried forward by a life you get to return to with clarity, vitality, and reverence.

You are welcome here.
To celebrate. To receive. To return to the Truth of your being.

About Pennie
I am a Vedic Astrologer and Transformation Doula devoted to the awakening of consciousness—one heart-led soul at a time. For the past two decades, I’ve walked the path of a spiritual explorer, guided by a deep longing to remember what is most true.

In 2017, I traveled to India for the first time and met my teacher—a meeting that changed everything. What began as a single journey became a lifelong devotion to the Yog-Vedantic tradition of the Himalayas, and to the sacred initiations that only this land can offer.

This land has been a teacher, a mirror, and a remembering for me.
Each time I return, I am reshaped in ways beyond words.

It is my deepest honor to share this sacred pilgrimage with you—not as a tour guide, but as a fellow explorer. A steward of the sacred.

This is not just a trip.
It’s a return to the wisdom that already lives inside you.

If your heart feels the pull… trust it. India has her way of calling us home.
