NAVARATRI RETREAT

AT MOUNT OLYMPUS, GREECE

20 – 30 September 2025

TANTRIC SADHANA MEDITATION RETREAT

The Navaratri meditation retreats give you a authentic experience of Traditional Tantra sadhana as part of the auspicious festival called Navaratri, which are periods within the changes of the season when the energy of Shakti is more accessible and useful for meditation.

The retreats offers a profound introduction where you participate in creating a live Yantra of the divine feminine in the form of one of Maha Vidyas of Tantra. With the support of the group energy together we meditate 3 hours a day with a specific mantra for this energy. These practices are coming from our lineage Shivoham Tantra.

Alongside this Tantric immersion, Yorgos offers a meditation study from the Vignan Bhairav Tantra. You will be taught 10 additional meditation techniques that are classified in this ancient text as tools for concentration, the techniques come into different categories to help individuals to find the right technique for their typology.

A study such as this is very helpful for spiritual growth both as a practitioner and as a teacher. The Vignan Bhairav tantra is a sacred text coming from Kashmir Shaivism, and is a practical guide with 112 techniques that help to reveal the consciousness within.

The retreat location is set on the east side of mountain of Olympus, Greece, overlooking the Aegean Sea. The nature is beyond stunning, the location is remoted and quiet and there are various walks you can enjoy in the break times.

Yorgos is an experienced meditation teacher and will support each person as needed in the overall schedule and process of the retreat, so rest assured the schedule will be applied as needed per individual.

Yorgos is supported by Charlotte who guides the Yoga Classes and is there to be a feminine support for the group and process. She brings her devotional songs, and careful dedication to these ancient practices.

YANTRA & MANTRA 

A Yantra is a geometrical design which holds the energy of the divine in the astral and physical planes. The different geometric patterns symbolically represent different aspects of the forces of the universe. For instance the central point represents the infinite beyond form, whilst the four gates around the edge represent the four directions. For Navaratri we plant seeds into earth, in this way the energy of the Goddess grows with the life of the little plants.

In Tantra we also use Mantra which is the sound vibration of the particular energy we are working with, in Navaratri it is always with an aspect of the divine feminine. The repetition of her mantra with the support of the yantra builds the frequency of this beneficial energy inside of us, purifying us, and helping us to embody our divine energy.

TESTIMONIALS

“No video could have shown and explained how magnificently they were holding the space for our group, how she is guiding us individually through our emotional and spiritual journey and how authentically and naturally she is sharing the gifts of the tantric Yoga practice. Not only was I taught how to safely and properly guide students throughout an Asana Yoga class, we also learned the mantras, developed a great understanding for the Yoga philosophy and the traditional tantric teachings were superbly facilitated. She also gave great importance to share with us tools of introspection and self inquiry – a most valid foundation for a serious Yoga teacher aspirant.”

Felicia Hayden, Austria

“From creating a sacred Yantra, to Fire Ceremonies, Sacred Dance, Mantra, Pranayama and more. Ra Lalita has her own wonderful, unique way of teaching, she teaches with a lot of wisdom, grace and great sense of humour! And she cares deeply for everyone who takes this journey with her. The guest teachers were also amazing and each one brought something very special to the course. If you are looking for authentic teachings and a truly amazing TTC experience where you will gain knowledge and confidence to go out and teach immediately.”

Debbie Caruso, UK

“Throughout this intense and fruitful experience, the loving kindness, sensitivity and constant support of Ra Lalita Dasi and her equanimity and ability to see deeper in you, creates a safe and trusting environment where one is able to open his/her heart and immerse in love. I am very grateful for this wonderful journey. My decision to attend this specific TTC with Satya Loka has been proved to be the best choice. Right now I am receiving the fruits of this decision.”
