Imagine a place where the Divine chose to manifest and be present in so many forms. A place that Mary Magdalene herself, dozens of saints, and Guruji Himself chose as their residence: this is the heart of Provence.

Description

This is a rare, personal and uniquely transformative retreat – in a truly special place!

Be part of a group of only 11 participants at the divine place of Sriman Narayana Niwasthan in Southern France / Provence, close to the French Riviera.

This retreat is a true gem of personal transformation, based on Guruji’s teaching “The 7 Qualities to True Generosity” (watch the video here).

Most of us may know these things in theory, but with the support of two experienced and complementary coaches, and within such a powerful environment, this retreat is designed to help you finally break through inner barriers and truly bring these qualities into practice – for good.

Awaken the Divine within you and receive solid support – one step closer to mastering your mind.

The retreat takes place at Domaine Le Capelier, just one hour from St. Tropez on the French Riviera. This magnificent location is infused with powerful divine vibrations, as it is home to the unique Sriman Narayan Shaligram from Satya Yuga — gifted by Paramahamsa Vishwananda Himself in 2021. The Domaine is blessed with divine energy, featuring a Lakshmi Narayana Temple and a Christian Chapel housing relics of over 90 saints and a miraculous Black Madonna. Gurudev has blessed the place with His personal visits on multiple occasions, including retreats, temple inaugurations, and private stays.

Rightfully so, Domaine Le Capelier is also known as Sriman Narayan Niwasthan (meaning “The Abode of Lord Sriman Narayana” in Sanskrit).

Guided by Vandanānanda, an experienced Hindu monk and personal coach who has helped over 1,000 people move forward in individual, group, and team settings and accompanied by Sarvavamayi Dasi, a long-time devotee and caretaker of the Satya Narayan Shaligram, this retreat offers a rare opportunity to spend personalised time with them and to be supported in accepting and letting go of past patterns that may be holding you back from living your divine potential.

It is a journey from knowledge and doing to wisdom and being — through awareness, courage, and self-love — all of which you can genuinely discover and strengthen for yourself during this retreat.

Highlights include:

  • Personalized Transformational Sessions, designed to move you forward into a new personality
  • A judgment-free environment, along with a wonderful group setting, to open up and share in sincerity
  • Spend time in the beautiful natural surroundings, which include a river, a natural reserve, and quiet corners to relax – all of it in the beautiful spring season
  • Be part of an unusually small group of 11 participants, all aiming to support the goal and each other
  • Transformational and heart-touching Hindu rituals, e.g. Satya Narayana Puja and Yagna (Vedic Fire Ceremony)
  • Available translation into French

Program

The goal is to become the master of the mind.

We will therefore customise the flow of the program according to our group’s dynamic, adapting to each and every one of you—individually and as a group.

The journey may include anything from intense workshops to reflective silence, private consultations, and emotional healing sessions through music, all while embracing the amazing and soothing presence of Divine nature around us.

The river here holds Guruji’s Divinity in its waters, as He has personally bathed in it, and Giridhari has received abhishekam there as well. In this place, you will feel completely surrounded by the Divine Mother’s love and care!

Participants

Who Can Participate

This retreat is ideal for you if you are open to intuitive yet clear and sharp guidance. If you are truly ready to take a step forward and do this together within a loving and supportive group setting, you will surely enjoy the activities and sessions we will share.

Please join our informative Zoom calls, where we will speak about the goal, the activities, and the venue, so that you can get a feeling for the deep work we will be doing together.

Unlike classic coaching, which often works mainly on the thought and mind level, this type of coaching during our retreat is infused with divine blessings, intuitive insight, and, most importantly, a focus on how you feel inside—guiding you from the person you used to be toward a new, resolved, and freshly encouraged version of yourself.

Jai Gurudev, we look forward to working together on our inner transformation!

Location & Accommodation

Our retreat takes place at Domaine Le Capelier, a peaceful and blessed place in the heart of Provence, surrounded by unspoiled nature and a quiet, gentle landscape. The Domaine lies close to a small river and a protected natural reserve, offering many quiet paths and corners to walk, sit, and simply breathe. In spring, the Provençal countryside shows itself in its most beautiful and nourishing atmosphere.

Beyond its natural beauty, this land carries a deep spiritual presence. It is home to the Sriman Narayan Shaligram from Satya Yuga, as well as a small Lakshmi Narayana Temple and a Christian chapel with relics of many saints and a Black Madonna. For many years, this place has been blessed by the visits, prayers, and retreats of Gurudev and countless devotees, and it is also known as Sriman Narayan Niwasthan — the Abode of Lord Sriman Narayana.

There is a quiet depth here that is difficult to describe in words. Many people feel a sense of being held and nourished simply by spending time on the land. The nearby river, in which Gurudev has personally bathed, is for many a place of silence, prayer, and inner renewal.

The accommodation is spread across the old Provençal buildings of the estate. The rooms are simple, individual, and full of character — some more rustic, others more fully renovated — all offering a calm and comfortable place to rest and integrate between the retreat sessions. The focus here is not on luxury, but on authenticity, simplicity, and a peaceful atmosphere that supports inner work.

Domaine Le Capelier is lovingly cared for by a small, dedicated team who see this place not just as a retreat center, but as a living spiritual home. With great devotion and attention, they take care of the temples, the land, and everyone who comes to stay here. Many guests feel that they are not arriving at a hotel, but rather being welcomed into a family. This spirit of personal care and heartfelt presence is an essential part of what makes this place so special.

✈️ How to Get There

For international travellers, the most convenient airport is Nice Côte d’Azur Airport (NCE). From there, Domaine Le Capelier is about one hour by car. You can take a taxi directly from the airport or use other car‑transfer services.

It is also possible to travel part of the way by train. From Nice, regional trains (TER Provence‑Alpes‑Côte d’Azur) run toward Les Arcs–Draguignan, a well‑connected station on the Marseille–Ventimiglia line, with services to and from Nice, Marseille and Toulon. From there it is a short taxi or local connection to Vidauban and the Domaine.

There is also a smaller stop at Vidauban itself served by regional services, but because trains in this area are limited, we recommend checking and booking connections in advance if you plan to arrive by public transport.

For those travelling by car, detailed directions will be provided, and the Domaine team will gladly support you with route guidance.
