Train the Brain Meditation Retreat Discover Your Infinite Potential August 14th - 17th, 2025


All Meditation Levels Welcome

Mount Shasta Meditation Retreat

The crisp mountain air caresses your skin as you sit cross-legged on the soft earth, surrounded by the majestic peaks of Mount Shasta. Your eyes gently close, and you tune into the sound of your breath, steady and rhythmic.


Under the expert guidance of Dr. Indranill Basu Ray, you begin practicing the ancient pranayama techniques – a symphony of conscious inhalations and exhalations. With each breath, you feel a profound stillness enveloping your being, as if the world around you has dissolved into pure presence.


Your mind grows quiet, free from the incessant chatter that once consumed your thoughts. In this sacred space, you connect with the subtle energy centers within your body, known as chakras, and experience a profound sense of balance and harmony.


As the practice deepens, you visualize your intentions, harnessing the power of your mind to shape your reality. Suddenly, you are no longer bound by limitations – you are a limitless creator, manifesting your desires with each conscious breath.


In this transformative moment, you realize that the key to holistic well-being has been within you all along, waiting to be unlocked through the ancient wisdom of meditation, pranayama, and kriya yoga. And in this realization, you are reborn – a vessel of vitality, resilience, and infinite potential.
