What You'll Learn

This retreat will continue the teachings presented in the April 2025 program. In this in-depth exploration of the sādhana and perfection of surrender, Nathaji will help you understand how to integrate the teachings and your own spiritual insights into daily life, thereby changing your experience of every moment.

This integration does not happen on its own, but requires support, guidance, and a structure of practices that are designed specifically for each phase of the journey of awakening. All these aspects of sādhana are what actually stabilize a permanent shift in us, so that our awakening experiences become what we experience as a new, permanent level of awareness.

Discover why the profound insights gained in practice often don't seamlessly translate into your daily reality, and what this truly means for your spiritual growth.
Explore why even powerful experiences of awakening might not lead to truly living the insights when life inevitably gets messy, and what's needed to truly anchor those states.
Reframe this common spiritual challenge not as an obstacle to overcome, but as a profound invitation to forge genuine embodiment—cultivating and transforming insight into recognition and wisdom that actively lives through you in every moment.

Swami Khecaranatha (Nathaji)

With a mastery etched from over five decades of disciplined inner practice and selfless service, Khecaranatha is an authentic adept in the Śakti Transmission Lineage of Bhagavan Nityananda and Swami Rudrananda.

Nathaji teaches from his personal experience and revelations. His study of the richness and wisdom of ancient tantric scripture provides a means to articulate the teachings of his lineage within the larger context of these powerful nondual traditions — while emphasizing the essence of his teaching, which is to empower students to discover their own innate divinity.

Christopher Wallis, one of the most important scholar/practitioners of our time, and who is deeply connected to and influenced by the Nityananda lineage, stated, "Nathaji is a key figure in the revival of Śaiva Tantra in the 21st century and he teaches from an experiential point of view, which is ultimately more valuable than the intellectual point of view."
