Meditation and Conversation
FREE Retreat for former Students* of Andrew Cohen
Jan 4th - 11th 2026
Tiruvannamalai, India
*STUDENTS: people who have been students or have attended retreats with Andrew Cohen in the last 39 years.
Dear Friends,
We are writing to extend a heartfelt invitation to gather for a retreat at the foot of the sacred mountain Arunachala, in Tiruvannamalai, South India—January 4th to 11th, 2026 at Andrew Cohen’s Ashram “Manifest Nirvana”.
Our hope is that we can come together to remember our beloved Guru, Teacher and Friend, to share cherished memories, and to reconnect in the love we all felt—and still feel—for him.
Our hope is that this is a living opportunity to reconnect, remember, honour, and transcend the teachings and experiences we share or shared on the path of Evolutionary Enlightenment.
In the
spaciousness of this week, we will sit together in silence and conversation, in meditation and spontaneous sharing.
Beyond ideology, beyond history, beyond any name or form, we are called to stand together: humbly, courageously, with hearts open to Spirit’s next great unfolding.
It is for those who feel the quiet pull to come together in the wellspring of our deepest aspiration.
It is for those who want to honour the depth we shared with gratitude, and at the same time step beyond into the vast mystery of what is yet to come.
The retreat is open to former students of Andrew’s and people who participated in his retreats in the last 39 years, who come with open hearts, ready to step beyond the past into a renewed relationship with the mystery that brought us to this path. We look forward to seeing many of you here.
The Retreat is free of charge, you’ll only have to pay for travel, accommodation and meals.
We will organize all meals from dinner on the 4th to Breakfast on the 11th. You can book your accommodation at Gia Mantra (500 metres from Andrew’s Ashram).
