SUMMARY:Ayurveda Panchakarma Retreat In INDIA!
DESCRIPTION:AYURVEDA PANCHAKARMA RETREAT IN INDIA!\nJoin Dr. Abilash and the Ayurvedic team at the renowned Maitreyi Vedic Village in South India\, for this comprehensive Ayurvedic Panchakarma Retreat this December\, 2025. This is a very profound process that is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity. \nTiffany has selected Maitreyi Vedic Village after almost 2 decades of experience in India and various Ayurvedic Centers and has been bringing individuals there for over a decade. Maitreyi is truly a place of holism and exudes a living presence of the Vedas\, and just retreating on this sacred land and in this place\, is deeply healing and transformative. \nAyurveda includes a wide variety of treatment programs depending upon the Prakruti (constitution)\, Vikruti (current state)\, and other considerations based upon each individual. Due to this\, you will receive an initial examination by the head Vaidya (Doctor) Dr. Abilash\, after which your unique Treatment Program will be curated and organized. The holistic approach and methodology of Ayurveda treats disease or ailments as symptoms of unrest at a deeper level and hence aims to go to the very root of the issue. Skillful diagnosis\, management and follow up are mandatory parts of the treatment\, and will all be applied during your 3 week treatment. \nAuthentic Ayurvedic treatments\, given in their traditional and pure form\, under the expert guidance of Dr Abilash\, will bring longterm\, lasting benefits. The serene and peaceful atmosphere of the Vedic Village will add to the healing potency and provides an ideal environment most suitable to inner and outer wellbeing. \nIn Maitreyi\, treatments are not only limited to medicines or to the physical therapies – Ayurveda honours that there is always an element of Rajo Guna of Mind in the cause of diseases. Therefore\, in our retreat\, we inspire retreatants to combine their Ayurvedic treatments with a Spiritual practice (yoga\, meditation\, inquiry) since the Sanskrit word ‘Swastha’ – established in the Self – indicates that Self-realization is the basis for perfect health. Ayurveda is practiced to attain complete health on all levels of our Being. \nYou will be receiving Jeevaniya\, which is one of the most intensive treatment programs done at Maitreyi. Jeevaniya is to give and extend life\, a type of treatment plan which aims to detoxify the body\, reviving the physical wholeness and natural immunity. It is meant for people who due to lifestyle habits or circumstances like polluted environment\, have accumulated toxins in their day to day living. These can cause disease in the long term\, and the best way to prevent this is to flush the toxins out of the body through Ayurvedic treatments and to then bring gradual change in longterm lifestyle choices. \nPanchakarma can be part of your Jeevaniya process. ‘Pancha‐karma’ refers to the five different actions which help to detoxify different parts of our body internally through a systematic process of preparation and elimination. It includes the 5 therapeutic karmas: vamana\, virechana\, vasthi\, nasyam and rakthamoksham. The choice of Panchakarma therapy most suited to you is decided only after diagnosis\, and during this retreat Dr. Abhilash will recommend either 1 or 2 of the karmas for elimination and cleansing. \nTo Deepen the detoxification & regenerative process\, this Retreat will also include Daily Yoga + Meditation with Tiffany\, as well as ongoing Talks/Classes with Dr Abhilash\, Tiffany & Dr Dhanusree. \nWe welcome those to join this retreat who feel deeply called to the Living Presence of Ayurveda. \nAccommodation Options (CAD\, including HST): \nTriple occupancy – $4000 per person\nDouble occupancy – $4500 per person \n  \nWhat’s Included?:\n\nDaily Morning Yoga sessions\nDaily 2x Meditation sessions\nAyurvedic consultations and individual guidance with Dr. Abhilash\n2 Treatments Daily\nAll Internal Medicine\nOne-on-one check-ins during the 3 weeks with Tiffany\nDaily discourses\, integration sessions\, cooking sessions\, vedic offerings\, pujas + homas\, etc.\nOrganic & Sattvic Vegetarian Meals (as well as specific nutritional guidance for your optimal detoxification and wellness)\nAn individualized take-home lifestyle practice designed specifically for you\nDomestic Travel to/from the Airport (Coimbatore) to the Village\nTwo Night stay in Coimbatore\n\n  \nMaitreyi Offers:\n\nEco-lux Accommodations\nOrganic Gardens + Walking Trails\nBeautiful Ayurvedic Treatment Center\nYoga Shala + Havan Shala\n\n  \nFor More Info about Maitreyi: https://maitreyivedic.in/ \n  \n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\nFollow Tiffany’s Recent Treatment Blog at Maitreyi!\n\n		\n	\n	\n	\n	\n		SaveInsta.App - 3049353129242508694SaveInsta.App - 3049631443794621158SaveInsta.App - 3050367555185511249SaveInsta.App - 3051157362324054747SaveInsta.App - 3051835636830388760SaveInsta.App - 3052595937351735537SaveInsta.App - 3053342294077190308SaveInsta.App - 3054468131909544218SaveInsta.App - 3055152088849718292SaveInsta.App - 3055794294505328653SaveInsta.App - 3056224794965196511SaveInsta.App - 3056925345327642565SaveInsta.App - 3061299317892791317SaveInsta.App - 3062743464331953976SaveInsta.App - 3063527165066169760	\n	\n	\n\n	\nPlease review the refund policy.

SUMMARY:Meditation 1-Day Retreat
DESCRIPTION:A 1-Day Meditation Retreat\nThis 1-Day Retreat is a Meditation Immersion experience that focuses on accessing our real and essential nature\, our highest Self\, through a balanced integration of Inquiry\, Meditation and Vichara Yoga. This retreat is intended to reveal our pure\, true\, boundless nature\, and to allow that recognition to be a foundational and unchanged seeing. This is not intended as a momentary experience\, or a restful day\, but rather an invitation to Be as you truly are and to know that undoubtedly. \nEven though for 1 Day\, this retreat aims to create an experience similar to that of a solitary retreat\, in order to provide you with an opportunity to rest with yourself\, to give space for powerful inner reflection and to create a sense of internalization\, allowing for a blossoming of the Heart and Truth. The teachings will be a unique integration of Advaita Vedânta infused into seated and walking meditation\, yoga and contemplative talks. Participants will be lovingly guided and introduced to various self-inquiry pointings and inspired to integrate these into their lives to continue to reveal and get acquainted with the truth that emerges from within oneself. \nThis retreat will be guided by Tiffany\, who has spent her adult life immersed in self-inquiry\, silent retreats\, and with her own master teachers. Due to her own profound experiences and the insights gained through retreat periods of silence and self-reflection\, she is inspired to offer these revelatory silent retreats worldwide\, which have opened many peoples’ hearts to the joy of being. \n  \nRETREAT SCHEDULE:\n~ April 19\, 2026 in Wakefield\, Quebec ~\nSunday:\n7:30-7:50 am – Arrival\, Settling In & Tea\n8-8:40 am – Meditation\n8:50-9:30 am – Meditation\n9:30-10:30 am – Yoga\n10:40-11:40 am – Brunch\n11:50-12:30 pm – Talk\n12:40-1:20 pm – Meditation\n1:30-2:10 pm – Walking Meditation\n2:20-3 pm – Meditation\n3-4 pm – Contemplative Integration\n4-4:40 pm – Meditation\n4:50-5:30 pm – Meditation\n5:30-6:30 pm – Dinner\n6:30-7:10 pm – Meditation\n7:20-8 pm – Dyad Meditation \n  \nNo previous meditation or yoga experience is necessary at all. \nNo experience in anything is necessary at all. \nCome as You Are. \n  \n“Look here and know who you are.  \nInstantly you will find freedom\, and this suffering will instantly stop.  \nThe only way is to look within.” \n– Papaji \n
