Awakening Divine Retreat
A Journey in Meditation and Devotion
10-17 January 2026
Golden Temple, Tamil Nadu, India
Hosted by Brahman and Anna Young-Ferris
It is with deep joy and excitement that we officially launch the Awakening Divine Retreat, a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in the beauty of Vedic culture, wisdom, meditation, and devotion this January 2026 in Tamil Nadu, South India.
Join Brahman and me—offering not one, but two dedicated teachers and guides—as we welcome you to the Golden Temple, nestled in the countryside near Vellore. Together, we will embark on a profound exploration of inner stillness and open our hearts to outward radiance through daily meditation, breathwork, yoga, and devotional practices. All of this will be held in the loving presence of Sri Sakthi Amma, a living incarnation of the Divine Mother, Sri Narayani.
This will be an experience like no other. You will experience vibrant temple ceremonies, sacred fire rituals, Ayurvedic treatments, sattvic (pure) nourishing meals, can engage in seva (selfless service) activities such as planting trees and offering food to temple visitors, embracing the spirit of giving and community. Nourished by the warmth of a small intimate group committed to spiritual growth and awakening to the truth of life. This retreat is designed as a sanctuary to dive inward, reconnect with your heart, and awaken your divine light.
We have chosen to visit during South India’s vibrant Pongal harvest festival, a time of radiant sights, lively sounds, and festive flavours that will indulge your senses and invite you to savour the richness of local traditions.
Spaces are limited to ensure heartfelt connection and personalised guidance and are already filling up. To secure your place, a deposit is required. Flights to India can fill quickly at this time of year, so it is wise to plan your travel soon.

We are here to support you every step of the way as we prepare for this transformative experience together.
We warmly look forward to holding this divine journey with you and for you.
With love and deep gratitude, Anna and Brahman x
