What to expect
Siddhayatan is a simple, peaceful, serene, stress-free, and quiet ashram. An ashram is a place dedicated to self-improvement. It is a perfect getaway to learn spiritual practices like meditation, yoga, fasting, and ancient techniques, or a special place for personal reflection and growth. Our monks wholeheartedly run and operate the retreat making your experience more unique. We offer small-size group retreats/ classes and simple & clean accommodations with all the essentials for you to experience higher thinking through simple living. We are in the process of establishing a very large retreat center and meditation park, therefore you may notice renovation of our buildings and land. The ashram has 250 acres of beautiful rolling hills, open land, two growing lakes, ponds, and forestry.
