Shardiya Navratri Yogini Retreat
A 9 night, 10 day Shakti retreat from October 11-20, 2026, following the sacred circuit of Gwalior, Mitaoli, Khajuraho, and Jabalpur through the Navratri days and into Vijayadashami.
The Invitation
A Navratri journey through Yogini temples and Shakti sadhana
This retreat is centered on Shardiya Navratri 2026, the most powerful period for Shakti worship. The journey follows a sacred circuit from Gwalior and Mitaoli to Khajuraho and Jabalpur, culminating in Vijayadashami. Each phase is shaped around temple atmospheres, daily Navratri colors, guided reflection, and a slower encounter with the Yogini tradition.
