Tending the Garden of Your Heart, September 5 ~ 7, 2025
Explore Loving-Kindness, Joy, Compassion, and Equanimity at this two-day restorative meditation retreat at Mount Madonna Retreat Center overlooking Monterey Bay, CA. Through guided meditations, wisdom teachings, and quiet contemplation, we’ll cultivate these heart qualities and learn how to bring them into our daily lives. Led by Gayathri Narayanan, this retreat creates a space to reconnect with our inner capacity for wisdom, care, and balance.
The day long retreat in Los Altos Hills to set intentions was more valuable than I expected. The setting was beautiful and Gayathri did an excellent job of planning and presenting the various concepts and activities. I came away with valuable insights and a clear sense of my intentions for 2025. I would recommend such a retreat without reservation.

It was a wonderful retreat and for me (and dare I say, all the participants) a fantastic way to start the new year. It was well organized, had a flow….and….it started and finished on time!! With lots of smiling faces and grateful hearts. The thought, work and care you put in showed in your talks, meditations, the material you provided and the assignments you had us do. The setting and the delicious, wholesome lunch and snacks added beautifully to the experience. I came away feeling happy, content and renewed. It was a time to go inwards and go inwards I did, coming out richly rewarded. Thank you!

Gayathri has the rare uncanny ability to make people feel comfortable, and comforted. Her cheerful, gentle, compassionate presence, belies her immense knowledge and experience. It isn't surprising that everyone who meets her, even in her teacher avatar, wishes so much to befriend her for life! It is her intellect that sparkles through in the material put together for the thought generating process- it never feels heavy or oppressive and sets forth a process of contemplation that is healing.

Gayathri's Mindful Beginnings Retreat at the peaceful Urban Ashram was a wonderful way to start the New Year. It helped me reflect on the past year, and helped me to focus on my vision for the coming year. With her loving heart and wisdom, Gayathri led a beautiful retreat. It was a retreat that I continue to reflect back on and am so grateful to have had this wonderful opportunity to start the year mindfully and with intention.
