Yoga of Living Light
Pondicherry Pilgrimage with Diana
February 15–22, 2026
A journey into the unseen, where light descends into form.
This is not a retreat of doing... but of deep inner being.
For those no longer enchanted by the shine of illusion, but drawn to the unseen, the enduring, the true.
An intimate pilgrimage into the living current of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother’s vision,
into the quiet furnace where Divine Will, Consciousness, and Matter meet in transformation.
This 7-day meditative retreat is a rare opportunity to sit in energy, silence, and the subtle fire of transmission
in one of the most energetically potent places on Earth.
Designed for seasoned practitioners who long to take refuge in the depths of transmission,
this space is not about stimulation, but recognition.




































This retreat is limited to 10 participants and is available by application only. It is not a cultural exploration, but a profound spiritual pilgrimage, a sacred container for serious practitioners committed to deep inner work, not simply a travel experience.
We are calling in individuals who are devoted to their path and ready to engage in stillness, presence, and the invisible current of transformation.
This journey blends meditative transmission, sacred site visits, and extended time immersed in the potent energetic field of a highly charged landscape.
All sessions will be held in silence, allowing the energy to work beyond words and giving space for each participant to listen deeply within.
This retreat is designed for those who are comfortable sitting in stillness and surrendering to subtle inner processes.
To maintain the depth of the container and ensure mutual readiness, participation is open only to regular attendees of Diana's classes, programmes, or retreats.
This allows us to build on a shared foundation of understanding, resonance, and trust within the energetic space we hold.

Itinerary Overview
Flexibility is integral to this retreat. While we hold a clear structure, adjustments may be made based on weather conditions, group needs, or unfolding circumstances, always in service of a meaningful and enriching experience.

Participants are asked to arrive in Chennai on the 14th of February to allow for rest and a smooth transition.
An overnight stay in Chennai is recommended. Group pickup will take place on the morning of February 15th for transfer to the retreat centre in Auroville. This allows time to settle and arrive gently into the retreat field.
February 15, Arrival & Settling In
Upon arrival at the retreat centre, there will be time to settle into the space, rest, and attune to the energy of the land.
The retreat programme will begin in the afternoon, opening the field with our first meditative session and orientation.
This gentle entry sets the tone for the days to come.

Recommendation:
Due to the lush greenery and natural surroundings of the retreat centre, occasional small insects such as ants, mosquitoes, millipedes, or lizards may enter the rooms—especially during the rainy season. While the rooms are properly sealed and cleaned, nature inevitably shares space with us. Most importantly, 99% of these insects are completely harmless, and we will provide mosquito nets to ensure your comfort.
We recommend consulting a travel health specialist for advice regarding optional vaccinations and to ensure you bring any necessary medications.
Travel insurance is not included and is strongly recommended. Please purchase a policy through a provider of your choice.
Visas are also not included. You may apply for an Indian tourist visa yourself or use a travel agent to assist with the process.
In February, Pondicherry enjoys some of the mildest temperatures of the year, typically ranging from 25–30°C during the day.
All rooms are fitted with air conditioning to ensure a comfortable stay.
