Events with Viveka
Total Immersion 2027May 31 - June 12, 2027
The waitlist is open for this event and already has 12 people as of October 2026. If you’d still like to find yourself in a field on a deep retreat with Dayajoti and Muditajina, there are still places on the Body of Bliss retreat, a deep dive into meditative states of happiness, pleasure, contentment, peace, and stillness. More accessible than we may think, these states can be restorative, healing and a catalyst for insight. Led by: Paramananda, Vivkea and support team Location: Bowerwood, Nr. Broadhembury, E.
