The highlight of our experience will be the Chausath (64) Yogini Temple, Bhubaneswar
The mystical Chausathi Yogini Temple built in a unique circular style with no roof represents the Tantric cult, rather than mainstream Hindu temples. Inside the temple, 64 powerful Yogini depictions of various forms of the Goddess are placed in stone niches in the wall. A central altar has the statues of the eight remaining forms (two on each side). Each mystical Yogini depicts a sacred animal energy. We will make special offerings with mantra chanting and ‘Yogini shakti meditation.’ We will interact with the sadhus and Pujari (priest) at the temple.
We will walk to the unspoiled rural bell metal heritage crafts village and visit other ancient temples.
This sacred Yogini Shakti Pilgrimage will guide us through Delhi and Odisha, visiting Akshardham Temple, the Saturn Temple, the mystical 64 Yogini Temple, Jagannath Temple, Konarak Sun Temple, heritage craft villages, and the serene Chilka Lake. We experience powerful darshans, Yogini Sadhana practices, and deep immersion in India’s sacred temple culture.
RETREAT NOURISHMENT – Please note, most meals will be satisfying buffets of vegetarian foods including quality dairy and wheat. Grounding foods are imperative to stabilizing energy for a successful Retreat experience where meaningful teachings and personal healing are unfolding. Fasting is not advised on retreat as we must also nourish ourselves to establish sthira shakti in our spiritual practices.
