In The Lap Of Grace
The Dunagiri valley is a very holy place, known to have hosted many generations of great yogis & masters who did deep practices in this sacred land. The whole valley is infused with their collective spiritual vibrations, if one is in a certain level of sensitivity & openness, one can make use of this space to draw on the deeper guidance & intelligence that can lead one into higher stages of the path
Mahavatar Babaji Cave
It was here that the great siddha made popular in Yogananda’s ‘Autobiography of a Yogi’ as Mahavatar Babaji initiated the revival of Kriya yoga in the modern times. He is said to have meditated in this particular series of caves & it is also here that he initiated Lahari Mahasaya who’s considered the father of the kriya movement in the modern times. Simply sitting in the cave, one is immediately drawn into deep absorption and depths of meditativeness by the powerful energies that still pulsate here.
Dunagiri Devi Shakti-peetha
​All across India there are 51 sacred sites where the mother force manifests in a very strong way, these are collectively called Shakti-petha meaning ‘seat of power/divine energy’. Dunagiri is one amongst them, the whole temple is infused with subtle & strong spiritual energy of the divine mother as well as the collective field of many advanced yogis who have been doing their sadhana (spiritual practice) here. This temple is very ancient, it goes back not in years, centuries nor even millennia, which antiquities are usually calculated in, but rather in terms of Yugas! (Ages/Eras in Sanskrit) A place where mysticism abounds, Dunagiri vibrates with numerous stories, sacred legends and myths
​
Kasar Devi Temple
The Kasar Devi Temple is a renowned spiritual and historical site. Dedicated to Goddess Kasar, a manifestation of the divine feminine, the temple holds immense significance for its mystical energy and serene surroundings. It is situated on the Kasar Devi ridge, which is part of the Earth’s Van Allen Belt, known to produce unique geomagnetic forces. This has made the temple a hub for meditation, attracting seekers, yogis, and spiritual practitioners from around the world.
Neem Karoli Baba & Hanuman Temple
The Neem Karoli Baba Ashram and Hanuman Temple in Kainchi Dham, is a sacred site devoted to the teachings of Neem Karoli Baba, a saint, and the worship of Lord Hanuman. This is where people like Krishna Das, Ram Dass, and others were drawn to travel, receiving teachings from Neem Karoli Baba and witnessing the events and stories that shaped their spiritual journeys.

The trail winds through charming villages, offering breathtaking views of the Himalayan ranges and a deeper connection to nature.

Meet Your Hosts
"Diana and Sri are creating a unique space filled with reverence and depth. The work that they do together and the energy that is present is very unique, pure and potent. There is something united and powerful beyond what can be expressed with simple words, I am lost for words after each session."
​
With many years of spiritual practice and profound realizations, Diana creates a space to help others awaken their Kundalini energy and expand their consciousness through her authentic, graceful and direct energy work infused with light and divine love.
​
Rooted in the ancient yogic culture of India, Sri’s path has primarily been devoted to Shakti. Drawing on direct energetic activation & kundalini kriya yoga, his work is an invitation for the depth & intensity of Grace to unfold in her full expression.
This retreat is not a cultural exploration but a profound spiritual pilgrimage, offering you the opportunity to connect with the powerful energies of the Himalayas. It is designed for those who are deeply devoted to their spiritual growth and aspirations.
Throughout this journey, we will blend energetic activations, meditations, visits to sacred sites, and time immersed in the energy of a highly charged and sacred valley. Every moment holds the potential for deep transformation, inviting those who are ready to embark on meaningful inner work.
To ensure alignment and preparation for this profound experience, participation is open only to regular attendees of Diana and Sri’s classes/ programmes or retreats and ideally attendance of at least one immersion. This allows for a deeper understanding of our teachings and resonance with the energetic space we share.
