Since 2011, for five days each May, we have featured the best yoga teachers, Kirtan musicians, healers and workshop leaders in the world. We are part of the Center for Spiritual Studies, a 501c3 nonprofit that supports charities across the globe, mainly in India.

Proceeds generated each year, after we cover our costs, go to our chosen causes. We accept donations to help us provide extraordinary festivals and give support to those less fortunate than us. 

During these troubled and turbulent times in America and in the world, it is with great urgency that we come together to build and deepen spiritual community.

As we delve deeper into our spiritual compassionate heart, we open up to the kindness and generosity we have within all of us. In harmony with Mother Earth we come together in a living practice to create change as one voice, one heart, one being. In our togetherness we can further that goal of unity and love and elevate our collective vibration.

Let's gather for the first real heart-centered festival of the year. On May 10-14th we celebrate the Divine feminine energy that dwells within all of us and honor the Motherly Love that is so sorely missing on our planet. In reverence and love for the Mother, join us in celebration this Mother’s Day weekend. 

Shakti Fest celebrates the devotional paths of yoga, Kirtan (sacred music), and meditation and places a special emphasis on the Divine Feminine. Our festival is a drug and alcohol-free vehicle for evolution of human consciousness through a heart-centered revolution. Bring your yoga mats this coming May to the idyllic Joshua Tree Retreat Center, located in the beautiful region 2 hours east of Los Angeles. Practice with the best yoga teachers in the world, dance to sacred music by world-renown Kirtan artists, and take workshops with leaders in the field of personal growth. Camp out beneath the stars or stay at one of our many accommodations on and offsite; enjoy the swimming pool and free filtered drinking water; stop in at “Conscious Kids Land” and expose your children to other enlightened families; enjoy the best vegetarian food at any festival. We offer student, senior, and local resident discounts. We’re building sacred community—join us!

I will be offering bodywork and intuitive healing sessions at the Healing Sanctuary from May 12-14. Join me for this transformational experience >> Pre-booking opens about 1 week prior and at the event >> email direct w/questions at rachel@rachellyndurga.com

Sister Seekers Gathering is a women's weekend retreat created from a vision of community, acceptance, empowerment and love. In a world where women are taught to be divided and shown how to appear, many have lost sight of what it is to be truly in touch with self and others.

Join me for this beautiful gathering - I'll be offering donation based healing sessions each day - they are first come, first serve so please visit me early. 

We seek to get back to our roots, break down stereotypes, bond hearts and allow open expression of healing and community through sisterhood.  As sisters, we lift each other up and support one another on our collective and individual journey. We exist to build a sisterhood where we connect with each other, ourselves and our Mother Earth. 

We will be surrounded by hundreds of acres of private woods with grounds including a wood burning sauna, 5 miles of groomed trails, a rose garden, a labyrinth, a beaver pond, a frog and turtle pond, tree swings and hammock, outdoor fire pits, indoor fireplaces, nature trails and animals. In addition, a marketplace, wellness tent and healing tent will be a part of the event.

This space is for you to explore Self, others and nature. Allow the spirit of the surrounding foliage to envelope you and guide you on your journey of seeking.
