Maitreyi Vedic Retreat: Simple living, high thinking at this ashram-style retreat, amidst the tropical Annamalai Hills in South Central India.

Find a new meaning to life at this eco-friendly, spiritual and cultural retreat set on 25 verdant acres, in rural Tamil Nadu. Everything here adheres strictly to the ancient wisdom of the Veda's - India's oldest scriptures; from the architecture to the organic food. You are guaranteed to come back glowing! 

Highlights: The 'Vaastu' compliant buildings with positive energies in every space (your host will explain this to you!) goes a long way in creating a holistic spiritual experience, with very articulate and committed spiritual masters. There are many spaces for quiet meditation, and the setting amongst picturesque hills- with year-round pleasant climate makes it especially pleasant for you to stay outdoors all day. The food is simple, fulfilling and very reasonable.  

Who should go: Ideal for those interested in learning meditation (Maitreyi specialises in TM, or Transcendental Meditation, made popular to the Western world through Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.) Those interested in India's Vedic Culture, the simple living-high thinking way of life of India's wise old ancients, will find great rewards in the daily rituals and discussions. Yet even if it's just pure simple peace you seek, in a place that deeply respects nature, come here. The walks and views and dancing peacocks will keep you entertained. This is also a great place for a wedding.
