Join Tiffany & Sraddhā for a heart-centered weekend immersed in the sacred gifts of Bhakti Yoga — the yoga of devotion, love, and surrender. Together, we gather to chant, sing, celebrate and amplify the joy of the Heart in all forms through Kirtan, Puja, Yoga, Meditation, Sacred Sangha Moments & Nature Immersion.

Held in the serene forested hills of Wakefield, Quebec, at the Vichara Yoga Shala, this intimate retreat is an invitation to let your Heart be nurtured and nourished. Over two soulful days and evenings, we will root into the heart’s deepest longing for peace, presence, joy, and truth.

Whether you are new to Bhakti or deeply steeped in the joy of its rich practices, this weekend is designed as a nourishing immersion into the simple — yet profound — art of devotional presence and celebration.

Our Time Together Will Include:

✨ Kirtan & Sacred Chanting — Devotional chanting to uplift and awaken the heart
✨ Puja & Ritual — Traditional Vedic ceremonies to celebrate the sacred
✨ Heart-Centered Yoga & Meditation — Embodied practices to root, open, and inspire
✨ Vedic Storytelling & Teachings — Timeless tales and reflections to inspire the soul
✨ Forest Walks & Nature Immersion — Nourishing moments immersed in the blessing of mama nature
