There is a love that doesn’t depend on anyone.
A peace that doesn’t require circumstances to be perfect.
A joy that isn’t borrowed from the outside world.
Timeless wisdom. A living master.
One unforgettable weekend.
Spend one beautiful weekend with Gurudev across three intimate sessions.
Through Gurudev's wisdom, guided meditations, reflection, and live Q&A, you'll explore love, devotion, and the deepest nature of the heart.
An invitation to return to the deepest love there is.
“Love is not an emotion. It is your very existence.”
— GURUDEV
What you’ll experience
Three sessions with Gurudev
Many people describe leaving Gurudev's presence feeling not like they gained something new, but like they remembered something they always knew. That is the gift of this series.
Timeless wisdom, brought to life
Gurudev brings these ancient aphorisms into direct contact with your everyday experience—your relationships, your inner life, the love you've been searching for and the love you already carry.
Guided meditations
Be guided into states of deep stillness and openness by one of the world's most celebrated meditation masters. Whether you're new to meditation or have been practicing for years, these meditations will meet you where you are.
Live Q&A: Bring your questions
Ask the questions you've been carrying. Receive wisdom delivered in Gurudev's uniquely warm, often surprising, and quietly transformative way.
Experience the deepest love of all
Not as a concept. Not as something to strive for. As something you actually feel in the room, in the session, in your body—and carry home with you.
Community with fellow seekers
You'll share this experience with a room full of people on the same path. Seekers, practitioners, and curious hearts from all walks of life.
IN THEIR WORDS
What people share after time with Gurudev
There are no real words for this. To touch something so deep, so steady, and so powerful — without struggle.
“
It’s not just intellectual. It’s real change. A sense of clarity and lightness. I feel like I’m becoming free.
“
The stillness continues to deepen. There’s so much silence, yet I feel so full, aware, and light.
“
It’s not just learning. It’s a shift. Old patterns drop. The noise in the mind clears. You begin to see what’s been holding you back, and it starts to fall away.
“

Aphorisms of Love
Experience an immersive journey into the heart of love.
A living master of the yogic tradition
For over four decades, Gurudev has been doing something remarkable—taking the most profound wisdom of the ancient yogic tradition and making it immediately accessible to anyone who walks through the door.
His work has touched over 1 billion people across 180 countries. His teachings have been presented at the United Nations, the World Economic Forum in Davos, and leading universities including Yale. His humanitarian and conflict-mediation initiatives have helped rebuild peace in communities across Colombia, Iraq, the Ivory Coast, and beyond.
But what people remember most after spending time with Gurudev is not the credentials. It is the love. The lightness. The way he makes the most ancient and complex wisdom feel like something you always knew. You just needed someone to remind you.
