The Ananda Blueprint is a transformative retreat that invites you to step into a journey of deep self-discovery and conscious life design. Rooted in the wisdom of Ananda (divine bliss) and blended with modern principles of intentional living, this program helps you rediscover your authentic self and align every part of your life relationships, career, health, and purpose with awakened awareness.

This is not a passive retreat of only reflection. Each insight flows directly into action. Through guided self-inquiry, breath-centered practices, and energy-based explorations, you will learn to let go of limiting patterns and consciously bring in what truly nurtures and fulfills you.

In the supportive presence of a like-minded community, you’ll experience both personal breakthroughs and collective inspiration. By the end of the retreat, you will walk away with your own Blueprint for Bliss a clear, practical, and heartfelt plan to live with joy, clarity, and purpose, supported by daily practices and a firm inner resolve (sankalpa) to embody your highest self in every moment.

The journey centers on five transformative pillars that create immediate and lasting change:

Self-Inquiry as the foundation for authentic living
Awareness as the tool for clear seeing
Attention as focused presence in each moment
Assessment as honest evaluation of what serves (5) Intention as the creative force for conscious design.
