Vedic Meditation & Panchakarma Retreat, Rishikesh India
17-28 November 2026
Magical India - Immerse Yourself in Ayurvedic Healing
Panchakarma Detox is Ayurveda’s most powerful healing reset — a multi-day purification designed to clear toxins, repair tissues, and restore vitality from the inside out. We begin our time together in New Delhi for one night, with a day trip to the majestic Taj Mahal, allowing space to arrive, settle, and mark the transition from everyday life into a more intentional rhythm.
From there, our trusted local guide leads us north into Rishikesh. A magical place at the base of the Himalayas long known as a sanctuary for Ayurvedic healing. Here, we settle into a 9-day Panchakarma Detox program supported by Ayurvedic doctors, therapies, and a deeply restorative daily routine.
From the moment you arrive in India, every practical detail is taken care of. Transfers, accommodation, daily structure, and support are thoughtfully arranged so you can step out of responsibility and into receiving. This is an invitation to be deeply held while reconnecting with yourself in a place that has supported seekers for thousands of years.
17 – 28 November 2026 Rishikesh, India (11 nights, 12 days)
We look forward to welcoming you on this journey.
Ayurvedic Care and Panchakarma
Before wellness became an industry, this was the work.
Our Panchakarma immersion takes place in the Himalayan foothills, within a traditional Ayurvedic setting designed to support detoxification, nourishment, and nervous system repair.
On arrival, you will meet with an experienced Ayurvedic doctor who will assess your symptoms (including traditional pulse diagnosis) and prescribe a personalised treatment plan. This plan guides your therapies, meals, and daily rhythm throughout the retreat.
Daily treatments are carefully selected to support digestion, circulation and the release of stored tension. Combined with freshly prepared vegetarian meals aligned with Ayurvedic principles, this creates the conditions for deep restoration of body and mind.
Accommodation is simple, quiet, and very comfortable, allowing the focus to remain on rest and healing.
This is an ancient, physician-guided reset, where every detail is crafted for you.
“Pancha” means five and Karma means “action”. Therefore Panchakarma Detox is traditionally described as the five main detox pathways.
The detoxification process works to remove things like: excess heaviness/mucus (Kapha), excess heat/inflammation (Pitta), excess air/movement (Vata) from the body.
If your body has been trying to get your attention with aches or pains - anything from dry skin, flare-ups, congestion, joint stiffness, fatigue, gut issues, recurring infections—or you’ve been struggling with your weight, headaches, sleep, autoimmune—or your nervous system feels frayed with anxiety, low mood or burnout… this is your invitation to reset properly. Ayurvedic healing is about getting to the root cause of the problem.
Here’s what you’ll get:
Daily body therapies and massage treatments using Ayurvedic herbal oils and tinctures
Herbal supplements to support the detox process
Dosha-specific meals, prescribed for your specific treatment plan
Rest, circadian shifts and nervous system regulation
And the subtle magic of being cared for properly with love and intention
While everyone’s experience is unique, most people leave Panchakarma feeling:
lighter and clearer
less inflamed, less heavy, less foggy
less aches and pains
more regulated in their nervous system
improved digestion and sleep
a clearer vessel for meditation and inner work
a felt sense of “I’m back in my body again.”
This retreat is about receiving. You’ll be encouraged to slow down, simplify, and let the healing happen. India has a way of stripping life back to what really matters, and Ayurveda meets you there.
Vastu refers to Vastu Shastra, a traditional Indian system of spatial design (similar to Feng Shui) that focuses on how the orientation and layout of a space affects wellbeing. In simple terms, it’s about arranging the room’s light, airflow and direction in a way that supports balance, rest, and harmony in the body and nervous system.

In India we will also offer a lighter version of our signature daily vedic meditation and rounding program.
We will dive into deeper states of rest and awareness, through yoga, breathing and meditation, which when practiced in combination with Panchakarma treatments, accelerates the deep release of accumulated stress and allows your nervous system to de-excite and replenish fully.
