Kashmir Shaivism Retreat · Bali · 22-26 Jan 2027

Experience the Infinite Within.

Curated by The Third High Experience

Shiva Horizon is a private five-day immersion in Bali that brings together potent practices of breath, movement, mantra, meditation and immersive sound centred on one thing: the consciousness you already are.

The Sacred Experience

The Mansion, Bali · From $1,799 · Limited rooms

A Balinese resort terrace at dusk: thatched bamboo pavilions and a tall conical thatched roof above a lit turquoise pool, white fringed umbrellas and palms around the terrace, and jungle beyond.

The Sacred Experience

There is more to you than you have yet experienced.

In the Shaiva tradition, bliss is not something you add. It is the nature of consciousness itself. Breath, sound and mantra are the doorways, and these five days are built to open one.

Who teaches it

Radiance

Step away from the effort of constantly performing. In stillness, the nervous system does what it was built to do: restore. What returns is not energy you borrow - it is vitality you reclaim.

Space to release the effort of constantly performing and reconnect with your vitality.

Presence

Attention is the rarest currency you own. Through shared practice and held silence, explore what it means to listen deeply, respond from the centre, and meet others with your full presence.

Practise listening deeply, responding thoughtfully and being fully present.

Clarity

From the ground of stillness, perspective rises on its own. Not forced insight - the quiet clarity that appears when the noise is no longer being fed.

Step back from daily demands and create room to see what matters.

Come alone or with someone you love - with curiosity and a willingness to explore.

"You came to reset. You will leave having remembered."

The Journey

Five days, four nights, one arc of return.

Taught as instruments with clear mechanics, not vague mysteries. The luxury here is not the setting. It is a silence you can carry home and reach for under pressure.

Day 1 · Fri 22 JanDownshift

Arrival

Screens kept to a minimum, not taken away. The pace drops, and the nervous system comes off high alert for the first time in a long while.

Arrival
Airport transfers, an opening circle, and evening mantra.
Silence
Two hours of held silence each day - the most underrated luxury of the retreat, and the doorway to recognition.
Day 2 · Sat 23 JanBreath as the Bridge

The Body Knows

Shiva Yoga and the mechanics of breath: a repeatable way into stillness that works on demand, not by luck.

Breathwork
Pranayama as a direct bridge into the body beneath thought.
Shiva Yoga
Consciousness-oriented practice, not performance or contortion.
Day 3 · Sun 24 JanSpanda: the Signal Under the Noise

The Pulse Beneath Everything

Spanda is the tradition's word for the pulse beneath thought. Learning to rest in it is what lets you operate from fullness instead of scarcity - and decide from there.

Sound and Mantra
Vibration used as a precise instrument to change your inner state.
Inner Gestures
Mudra as subtle mechanics of attention, not decorative symbolism.
Day 4 · Mon 25 JanMeeting the Self

There Is Only This

The apex. Deep meditation toward Turiya (Transcendental Consciousness) and Sat Chit Ananda - the awareness that was never born and never anxious. This is the state the whole retreat has been built to reach.

Meditation as a Science
A repeatable method for entering stillness, with stages and outcomes, not romance.
Day 5 · Tue 26 JanIntegration

Carrying It Home

Portability. A daily practice measured in minutes, built to survive the flight home, the inbox, and the first meeting back.

Departure
Your take-home sadhana, check-out, and airport transfers.

What you carry home

  • A nervous system that knows how to reset itself.
  • A mind that can go quiet with awareness.
  • Stillness you can reach for under real pressure.
  • A practice that fits your life: minutes a day, portable, sustainable.

Still deciding? Straight answers

Honest Answers

Questions before you apply.

How much does it cost, and what is included?

From $1,799 USD per person twin sharing, or $1,999 for a single room. Travelling alone is no barrier: take a single room, or ask about twin sharing when we speak. The rate includes four nights' accommodation · meals · every session with dushyant · return airport transfers. Flights, visa and personal travel are not included.

Do I need any prior experience?

No prior experience is required for Shiva Horizon, a five-day Kashmir Shaivism retreat in Bali. Complete beginners and long-time meditators are equally guided and supported.

My mind never stops. Is this even for me?

Yes. That mind is the exact instrument this work is built for.

What does "Tantra" mean here?

Tantra here is a technology for expanding consciousness: direct work with breath, sound, attention and energy. No sexual practice, no partner work, no nudity, no touch.

Is this religious?

It comes out of a tradition, but it asks you to believe nothing. Kashmir Shaivism treats consciousness as something to investigate, and your own direct experience as the only proof that counts. People of every faith and none sit together here.

Can I come with my partner?

Yes, many do. Silence shared with someone you love tends to deepen the intimacy rather than divide it. Love stops being an exchange and becomes recognition, the same awareness meeting itself across two people. Couples share a room at the twin-sharing rate of $1,799 per person.

How do I join, and how do I pay?

One: request an invitation using the form on this page. Two: Dushyant reviews every application personally and replies within 48 hours. Three: we send the retreat brochure and a secure payment link on WhatsApp, in USD or INR. There is no payment on this website.

How do I get there, and do I need a visa?

Fly into Denpasar (DPS), Bali's international airport. Indonesia's e-VOA can be applied for online at evisa.imigrasi.go.id; check eligibility for your passport before you book. Bali also charges a tourist levy of IDR 150,000, paid online before arrival. Airport transfers are included.

Can I stay reachable?

Yes. We ask for minimal screen time, not a phone ban. You keep your phone, and anyone who needs to reach you in an emergency can.

What should I pack?

January is the rainy season in Bali, so bring light rain gear along with comfortable clothes for practice. We recommend travel insurance.

The Horizon

Awakening is not an achievement.

It is a setting down of everything that was never you, until only the infinite remains, exactly where you are standing. This is what the Himalayas have guarded for over a thousand years - and it is waiting for you, quietly, in Bali.

An invitation to explore the infinite within.

To ensure intimate transmission and personal attention, this gathering is strictly limited to a small circle.
