We are not meant to be at war with one another.

​Conflict appears to be at the core of the human experience, but the Tradition of the Himalayan Masters suggests that if you look further within, you will find a space in your heart that is eternally untouched by conflict, or any trace of suffering. ​

Reaching this innermost sanctuary empowers us to experience joy and freedom here and now — in this world — rather than freedom from it. 

This is inner experience is Viśoka and it is accompanied by the dawning of an undeniable inherent luminosity called Jyotiśmati. Tapping into this inner experience fosters profound peace — for ourselves — and in the world. 

The Journey Home is a pilgrimage and immersive experience of sādhanā, self-inquiry and the rich spiritual atmosphere of the Himalayan Tradition’s seat of śakti — the Śrī Vidyā Shrine.

Rooted in the wisdom of the sages as experienced through Vishoka Meditation, the nectar of Śri Sūkta, and tenderly applied  Tantric Haṭha Yoga, the Journey Home is more than a pilgrimage to ancient sacred sites.

 It is a reclaiming of your essential Self.​

Do you ever feel as though your mind is the field on which warring factions of yourself battle one another in an eternal conflict which will never yield a clear victor?

This is a very common experience of the human psyche. 

We are taught and conditioned to believe that there are parts of ourselves which are ‘acceptable’ and  parts which should be rejected, repressed and denied.

This creates an inner experience of conflict, devoid of harmony, unity, and trust.

The Himalayan Tradition implores us to love all, hate none — embrace all, exclude none beginning with the many parts of ourself. One path for experiencing this radical love is that of the Mahāvidyās, ten expressions of the Divine Mother — the wisdom goddesses of Tantra. 

Woven into the fabric of these esoteric expressions of the Mother are threads of essential truth with the power to restore the integrity of a single human mind, and heal the whole heart of humanity. 

The Mahāvidyās are powerful forces, best approached with reverence and humility. They are present in all things, at all times — but are particularly vital where they have never been entirely forgotten — places like Khajurāho. Khajurāho is home, in particular to Mātāṅgī, a playful and alluring expression of Mā Durgā.

Embark on a life-changing pilgrimage to India to awaken your spirit.

Experience the transformative power of ancient rituals, sacred rivers, and timeless wisdom firsthand as you journey from the serene, historic riverbanks of the Ahilya Devī Maheśvar Fort in Maheśvar to the intense śakti of the temples and ghats in Vārãṇasī, to the breathtaking, intricately carved ancient temples of Khajurāho, and the heart of the Himalayan Tradition, the Śrī Vidyā Shrine.

Natalie and Pamela are devotees of the Himalayan Tradition guided by the wisdom of their teacher, Pandit Rajmani Tigunait. 

The Himalayan Tradition is an ancient, unbroken lineage of yoga, meditation, and spiritual philosophy originating from the masters of the Himalayan Mountains. It seamlessly weaves the practical system of Patanjali’s Yoga Sūtras, the spiritual philosophy of Advaita Vedanta, and the practices of Tantra into a comprehensive path to self-realization. Rather than adhering to rigid dogma, our lineage encourages us to 'love all, hate none — embrace all, exclude none'.

In the Himalayan Tradition, human birth is considered the greatest gift — and not realizing this gift, the greatest tragedy. The Tradition invites us to thoroughly explore our inner landscape while navigating the outer world through selfless service — fully engaging with the world, while remaining untarnished by it.

We are a Śakta Tradition of the school of Śrī Vidyā — meaning we experience absolutely reality as a wise, compassionate, and ferociously loving — Divine Mother. She is the beauty in all things.
