Banyan Meditation Retreat in INDIA!!!!

Journey to the heart of India with David Harshada Wagner

This New Year's, give yourself the unforgettable experience of India. Banyan Director David Harshada Wagner is leading a small retreat to several ancient holy places to walk in the footsteps of ancient Indian masters. Every day will feature a retreat schedule with yoga and meditation. Harshada considers India to be his second home and has a tremendous amount of knowledge about India and incredible connections there. This is not a tourist-trip of India.
