Anhad Retreat
What is Anhad Retreat?
Ram’s way of life does not deny the world we live in. Rather, it takes the world in which we live along with us, which empowers us to enjoy the materialistic world to its fullest, with richness both in and out.
This adds a fourth dimension to the quality of living, bringing in balance and harmony.
"Arjuna fought a war,
Whereas Krishna just played it.
If Krishna can 'Play' War,
Why can't you ‘Play' Life?
Yes… That's possible.
Do you want to Play or Fight?"

What happens at Anhad Retreat?
It is a personalized, interactive retreat which starts off right from where you are. There are no dos and don’ts here. There are no traditional or religious methods to be followed. In fact, the absence of traditional methods to quieten the mind is a relief! The methods adopted are wonderfully original, exciting and of course rational and scientific as well. Newer horizons open up for anyone reaching Anhad.
Retreat sessions could either be in an organized way or spontaneous and extempore depending on the participant’s nature! You could be in for some pleasant surprises!
There are open minded, informal, interactive sessions, debates, discussions, and sharing. ‘Thoughtful Meditations’ and ‘Self Reminder Meditations’ are the pioneering activities at Anhad. They happen through a variety of activities and games.
The breath-taking valley where Anhad is located, provides many blissful moments for swimming in the river, Jungle treks, wildlife trails, campfire nights, star gazing, music, singing, dance, fun and time to relax.
Location
The retreat is held at Anhad, which is situated in a pristine valley, in a village called Jor, overlooking the sahyadri ranges at the foothills of Mahabaleshwar, near Wai, Maharashtra, India. It is 125 kms, a 3 hour drive from Pune.
