rite of passage retreat

An immersive 2-day retreat to guide you from living of the stresses of your mind into thriving from wisdom of your soul.

i already feel a yes inside

This is so much more than a retreat.

This is an initiation.

To dive into the depths of yourself.

(and play and laugh like you’re five again!)

Total immersion.

Community.

Connection.

Unification.

To come as you are leave anew.

You’re already been working on tourself and living more from your heart.

But there’s a burning ache inside you for more

More Depth. more passion.
more trust. more connection.

You know you’re ready for your next level…

To carve a new path forward in how you show up and relate to life.

To start enjoying both the external AND the internal.

To be rocked by a once-in-a-lifetime experience

that allows more of WHO YOU TRULY ARE to shine!

This is both an ending, and a beginning.

To start living from the wisdom of your untethered Soul.

Welcome to your Rite of Passage.

Will you answer the call?

YES! I'M READY

There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

– Anais Nin

You've lived your whole life consumed by your thoughts, conditioned behaviors, limiting stories, and external pressures.

You’ve worked really hard to get where you are and are very grateful for your successes and progress.

You’ve done a fair amount of inner work already by investing in coaching, therapy or personal development events, and you’re committed to regularly feeding your mind and heart through heart-centered podcasts and books and practices.

But something is missing…

In some ways (or many), you feel like you’re treading water – living just on the surface of what’s really possible.

You feel stuck or unfulfilled in your love-life, career, relationships, inner connection, health (or all of the above).

You have a burning desire to feel more connected to yourself, more connected to others, and more connected to the pulse of life itself.

You’re ready for life to FEEL better.

Not because of what you have or what you’ve achieved or who you’re with – but because of how you relate to yourself and to life.

There’s a knowing inside you that life can be so much richer than what you’re currently experiencing – you just don’t know how.

But you’re ready to find out.

You’re ready to go ALL IN.

You’re ready to pull down your walls and masks and start leading a more fulfilling existence.

You’re ready to feel more invigorated by life – not because of your material or monetary successes – but to start thriving from the inside out.

If this is resonating…the Rite of Passage Retreat was created exactly for you.

This is an event of death, and rebirth.

A sacred journey to let your dust and darkness wash
over you…

To learn how to face it and whatever life may throw your way with love and surrender…

So you can walk back into your life with more vitality, self-love, innate joy – and especially more Soul-led truth than you’ve ever experienced before (and likely with a few new best friends!)

This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience like no other. From the people we’ll connect in sacred passage with, to the fun and dancing and giggles we’ll let loose in, to the tears and truths we’ll unearth from the deepest parts of our hearts…

It’s time for your Rite of Passage.

Immerse yourself with us into this 2-day guided journey to access your unwavering inner peace and start coming Home to your fullest Self.

Join us December 8th - 10th at the stunning Samadhi Retreat Center

I'M A FULL-HEARTED YES!

Every positive change - every jump to a higher level of energy and awareness - involves a rite of passage. Each time to ascend to a higher rung on the ladder of personal evolution, we must go through a period of discomfort, of initiation. I have never found an exception.

– Anais Nin

The Pyramid

At the heart of this sanctuary stands a magnificent 3- story cedar pyramid, a profound tribute to silence and the teachings of yoga philosophy.

THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!

Meet Your Host and Founder

Nishant Garg

My journey has been a whirlwind of self-realization, commencing with a crippling lack of self-confidence and self-esteem that clung to me until the age of 27.

Despite excelling in my profession, I felt like an empty vessel, devoid of purpose.

I lived to meet the expectations of others, neglecting my own desires. I struggled to assert myself, haunted by the echoes of childhood teasing.

In 2014, my life plunged into darkness. My brother’s battle with cancer and the abrupt end of a significant relationship shattered my world.

As 2015 dawned, I was engulfed in sorrow and emptiness. My brother’s passing and my ex-girlfriend’s new marriage left me feeling like a lifeless shell.

As 2017 came to a close - I realized I was merely going through the motions of life. I was heartbroken, overwhelmed, and burnt out from my career as a software professional.

The concept of fulfilled living felt like an elusive dream.

But from that darkness, I chose a new beginning.

I made a decision to live life on my terms, embarking on an odyssey of personal transformation.

Along my journey of physical, emotional and spirtuatl self-improvement, I’ve invested tens of thousands in coaching, alternative modalities, and transformational seminars.

In 2020, I embarked on a bold experiment by
launching a podcast and have had the privilege of
engaging with over 200 world-class experts in riveting conversations.

Now, I stand before you, not as a finished product, but as a fellow traveler on the path of self-discovery and growth.

My mission is to illuminate the path of mindful living and personal transformation, offering you access to the insights I’ve gleaned and the wisdom I’ve gathered.

This retreat is more than an event; it’s a profound metamorphosis-a journey that will lead you back to your authentic self.

It’s time to relinquish the familiar routines and stressors, heal what needs healing, and emerge with a newfound openness to life’s limitless possibilities.

You will not only feel different; you will be different-living and loving from the profound depths you’ll uncover within your own being.

Your transformation awaits, and I'm thrilled to be part of your remarkable journey through your Rite of Passage!

Which will you choose?

Are you ready for your Rite of Passage?

MY TIME IS NOW!

Living a spiritual life requires a change of heart, a conversion. Such a conversion may be marked by a sudden inner change, or it can take place through a long, quiet process of transformation.

But it always involves an inner experience of oneness.

– Dan Millman
