Mahavidya & Sound Healing Rishikesh, India 9-19 October 2026

The Geometry of Power: A Mahavidya & Sound Healing Pilgrimage

Rishikesh, India | 9–19 October 2026

Deep within the foothills of the Himalayas, where the Ganges carves its path through ancient stone, a rare convergence of sound and shadow awaits. This is not a standard retreat; it is a ten-day descent into the architecture of the soul, timed with the potent lunar cycle of Navaratri.

Join Dr. Nitasha Buldeo and the masters of the Nada Yoga School for an immersive exploration of the Ten Cosmic Powers—the Mahavidyas. This journey is designed for those who seek to command their internal landscape and harness the primal frequencies of the universe.

The Experience

Throughout this pilgrimage, we strip away the superficial to engage with the raw mechanics of existence. By combining the rigorous precision of Mahavidya Tantra with the mathematical beauty of Nada Yoga, we move beyond simple relaxation into a state of profound authority over the self.

• Esoteric Ritual & Mahavidya Tantra: Engage in systematic practices dedicated to the ten facets of the Divine Mother. These are the archetypes of time, perception, and transformation—tools for those ready to wield their own influence.

• The Science of Sound: In collaboration with the Nada Yoga School, we utilize specific Vedic frequencies and raga structures to recalibrate the nervous system and pierce the veil of the mundane.

• Sacred Geometry & Stillness: Our practices are grounded in a sharp, disciplined aesthetic, focusing on the intersection of form, breath, and concentrated intent.
