Whenever you suffer, ask Yourself, “What am I imagining to be true?” ~ Nithya Shanti

This retreat is called a “ Deep Dive” as we will explore a few essential tools for unburdening and focus in depth, accessing more nuance and subtlety each time. This strengthens our neural networks and capacity to apply the learnings long after the retreat, in the midst of our daily challenges.

We will create a welcoming, informal and vibrant space where we can come together in a spirit of openness and discovery. There will be opportunities for solitude, reflection, group practice, and insightful sharing. This retreat is a powerful call to awaken to our true nature, beyond roles, identities, beliefs and thoughts.

Nithya will be sharing principles and practices that he has found most effective, which he himself uses most frequently and that he is committed to transmitting. These are a synthesis from his rich experience learning from many wise teachers and sharing these teachings with thousands of friends all over the world. All these teachings share a common foundation of enabling us to live more authentically and to awaken intuitive wisdom

ABOUT THE FACILITATOR 

Nithya Shanti is an internationally respected facilitator, seminar leader and educator, committed to sharing practical wisdom teachings for happiness and awakening with people in a joyful and transformational way. Blending a deep study of ancient teachings, along with a rich harvest of contemporary learnings, Nithya Shanti specializes in facilitating profound shifts in awareness for people to release limitations and awaken latent potentials for a balanced and fulfilling life.

An interest in inner growth and spirituality from an early age inspired him to read many books and engage in long discussions with friends and teachers. Not content with intellectual understanding alone, he began a daily practice of meditation at the age of sixteen and attended many meditation retreats.

Nithya Shanti completed an MBA from XLRI, Jamshedpur and then worked in the corporate sector. Despite having a promising career, he was drawn to pursue his spiritual quest further. In 2002, he ordained as a Buddhist Monk. After six years of living in forest meditation monasteries in Thailand, Sri Lanka and also various parts of India and the US, he was guided to live, learn and serve in broader ways than the traditional role of a monk permitted. With the blessings of his teachers he stepped out of the robes in early 2008 and now share inspiring teachings in Happiness Joyshops, youth programs, corporate trainings and meditation retreats around the world. Through his sessions, Nithya Shanti helps participants get in touch with themselves, leading the way to personal development and spiritual awakening. His light hearted and informal manner and practical and simple techniques pave the way for an experience that many have found to be life changing.

He keeps his audience engaged through stories and encourages meditation and introspection in an atmosphere of trust. Freeflowing and responsive to the needs of the audience, Nithya Shanti’ s workshops ( which he calls “ Joyshops” ) are the gateway to a happier and more rewarding life. He has been invited to share his insights around the world by leading universities, corporate and non- governmental organizations, he coaches CEOs, senior government officials and school teachers, and taught these principles at international conferences such as TEDx and also in prisons. He has taught principles of conscious living in over sixty organizations and institutions. He is on the Advisory Board of Axialent, an international consulting firm specializing in enabling a more conscious culture in business. He is also the founder of Nithya Shanti Foundation, whose aim is to facilitate a paradigm shift from ‘ seeking happiness’ to spreading happiness’ through simple, joyful and practical teachings
