What This Is…
Retreats with Teja are an invitation to pause, inquire deeply, and discover the peace that is already present. Rather than offering another philosophy, practice, or path, these retreats create a space for direct exploration of the nature of Being through shared inquiry, reflection, silence, and open dialogue.
There is nothing to achieve, become, or attain. Instead, the invitation is simply to rest in awareness and allow whatever arises to arise without agenda, expectation, or judgment.
Whether you are new to nonduality or have explored these teachings for many years, the retreat offers a supportive environment for authentic discovery, connection, and quiet contemplation.
What This Is Not
These retreats are not about self-improvement, fixing yourself, or becoming someone different. They are not another philosophy, practice, or spiritual system to learn.
Rather than offering a path to enlightenment or lasting peace, these retreats invite you to discover what remains when seeking itself comes to rest.
Nothing is required of you. There are no beliefs to adopt, no concepts to master, and nothing you need to seek. Simply come as you are, with curiosity and openness, and discover what has always been here.
Who This May Resonate With
These retreats may resonate with those who feel drawn to quiet reflection, direct experience, and a deeper exploration of what it means to simply Be.
Whether you are new to nonduality or have spent years exploring spiritual teachings, you are welcome here. No particular background, beliefs, or level of experience is required.
You do not need to identify as “spiritual” or feel certain about what you are looking for. Curiosity, openness, and a willingness to explore what is already here are enough.
If you feel drawn to slow down, inquire deeply, and discover the peace that has always been here, these retreats may resonate with you.
Atmosphere & Environment
Retreats are held in peaceful settings that naturally support rest, simplicity, and quiet reflection. Whether nestled in nature or another carefully chosen location, each environment is selected to encourage slowing down and reconnecting with what is already here.
There is time to walk, sit quietly, share meals, and simply Be. The rhythm of each day is intentionally spacious, allowing inquiry to unfold without pressure, expectation, or agenda.
Comfortable accommodations, nourishing meals, and time in nature create an environment where presence arises naturally. Nothing is forced. Nothing is expected beyond your willingness to be present.
The atmosphere is quiet, open, and deeply human.
Moments from Past Retreats
A glimpse into the atmosphere, community, and quiet simplicity of spending time together.
The Omega Institute — Rhinebeck, NY • Summer 2026
Held at the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, New York, this five-day retreat invited participants into a quiet exploration of Being through shared inquiry, open dialogue, silence, and time in nature. Rather than offering another philosophy, practice, or path, the retreat created space to discover what is already present beneath the search for answers.
Surrounded by wooded trails, open fields, and a peaceful lake, participants experienced an atmosphere of simplicity, rest, and genuine connection. Through conversation, reflection, and unhurried time together, the retreat offered an opportunity to slow down, rest deeply, and recognize the peace that has always been here.
The Ojai Retreat — Ojai, California • Summer 2025
Nestled in the peaceful hills above Ojai, California, this three-day retreat brought together participants from around the world to explore The Path of Love & Awareness through open dialogue, shared silence, meditation, and genuine human connection.
Rather than offering another philosophy or spiritual system, the retreat created space to rest from seeking and experience the simplicity of Being together.
Held at the beautiful Ojai Retreat, where Teja has shared satsangs and guided meditation for many years, participants enjoyed quiet gardens, walking paths, nourishing meals, and an intimate atmosphere that naturally supported reflection, presence, and authentic connection.
The gathering was a rare opportunity for friends from across the globe to come together in person, sharing not only inquiry and contemplation, but also laughter, conversation, and community.
