Spiritual Detox in New Mayapur, France!

School of Bhakti invites you to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and connect with your inner self. 

A special summer long weekend retreat, to immerse yourself in discovering the true you with our special keynote speaker; HG Srutikirti Das & HG Mondakini Devi Dasi. In addition, various Srila Prabhupada disciples residing in New Mayapur will be joining us. 

Our keynote speakers will dive deep into how we can deepen our connection with divinity. The theme of the retreat will be “The Mirror within”. You will discover practical ways to declutter your life to allow time for spiritual growth.

The retreat includes a 3-night stay at the temple’s comfortable guest house, packed with various activities, such as lectures, yoga classes, nature walks, games, drama, music, connecting with like-minded people, tasting plenty of delicious vegetarian/vegan food, and much more. You won’t be disappointed!

We will drift you away to a castle & temple, in the heart of France! Château d’Oublaise, now known as New Mayapur, is situated in the serene countryside of Centre-Val de Loire, France.
