Join us for a long weekend where we will dive into the heart of Vedanta with same-hearted peoplewho have a deep value for spirituality, integrity, devotion and truth.
Röstånga Thursday - Sunday, June 5th to 8th
Vedanta Classes * Satsang * Guided Meditations * Vedic Chanting * Pūjā * Embodiment Rituals
Imagine gazing into a mirror that reflects back your wholeness, showing you that you are already complete, perfect, and deeply lovable, just as you are. Picture yourself being guided to honor your body as a sacred temple, learning to appreciate it fully and releasing emotions through sacred expression.
This vision is about to become a reality.
From June 5th to 8th, we will gather for the 11th annual Vedanta Retreat, now incorporating deeper embodiment rituals and an extra day to allow for more connection and exploration together.
Retreat Highlights:
• Devotional rituals to open the heart
• Guided meditations that support the mind and lead to deep absorption
• Vedic teachings that reveal your true nature as limitless, whole, and complete
• Sharing circles to process emotions and strengthen your connection to the community
• Nature walks to soothe and regulate the nervous system
• Nourishing vegetarian meals to support your body from the inside out
• Surprises to spark magic and joy throughout the long weekend
For many years, it has been my privilege to facilitate this retreat, hosted by the beautiful Villa Söderåsen in the serene South of Sweden. Each year, we gather to explore life’s most profound questions and experience clarity, freedom, and a sense of belonging that is hard to find elsewhere.
Whether you are seeking to connect more deeply with yourself, your spiritual path, or find answers to fundamental questions about life, this retreat is for you.
It is a space where you can receive devotional tools, clear guidance, and support on how to bring these transformative teachings into your daily life.
Guided by my 20 years of experience and unwavering dedication to the path of freedom, and supported by my host and team, it is a joy to welcome you.
Over the years, people have traveled from across the globe to attend—some from as far as the United States, Croatia, Germany, Switzerland, the UK, Norway, Denmark and other countries—each seeking to immerse themselves in the timeless wisdom of Vedanta. For many, this retreat has become an annual tradition, with one participant attending for the 9th time.
The teachings of Vedanta have transformed my life, guiding me toward a path of inner freedom and fulfillment. Once you’ve tasted the sweet nectar of non-duality, there’s no turning back. Life may still present challenges, but you face them with the knowledge that you are free no matter what.
During this retreat, we will explore the deeper questions of life:
• Who am I, truly?
• Is there life after death?
• What is the purpose of life?
• Are we really separate, or is there a deeper connection?
• Can we live fearlessly?
• How to embrace trauma stored in the body?
These are the inquiries that bring us closer to understanding our true nature. We don’t need to wait for a catastrophe to explore these questions. Instead, we prepare ourselves for life’s challenges—old age, disease, death, and other difficulties—by understanding the impermanence of circumstances and the eternal nature of the Self.
Through the lens of Vedanta, we learn to live with deep reverence for both life and death. We discover stability, security, and fulfillment in that which never changes.
So if you feel called to join us, you are warmly invited.
Location: Villa Söderåsen, South of Sweden

With love and deep gratitude to all the wonderful participants who have shared their presence over the years. This is only the beginning, and I can’t wait to continue this sacred journey with you.

About Shāradā Devī
From an early age, Sharada was on the quest for Moksha, absolute freedom, which led her to Venezuela, India & Bali, seeking guidance & answers to the fundamental questions of life.
20 years ago her journey started with Yoga and more than a decade ago, she found her revered teachers in the lineage of Swami Dayananda Saraswati and has since then been living in Bali & India studying the ancient teachings of the Vedas directly with her teachers. In her lineage, the study of the unconscious aka inner child, devotional practices such as rituals, mantra and guided meditations is incorporated which also shines through in all her magical offerings. She has been teaching the jewels of the Vedic Tradition from the very start of her own journey as she has been encouraged to do so by her teachers.
Sharada is a devoted and committed student and teacher of Vedanta, Sanskrit & the Vedic Tradition, a Priestess of Ceremonies & a Vedic Chanting Mistress as well as the Heart of Be Woman Project & the Visionary of Devi School where Spirituality meets Embodiment. She is also a Feminine Embodiment Coach and Therapist.

“She is a slight young woman with Swiss, Philippine heritage and it’s clearly not the first life she has dedicated to Vedanta. She has such poise, presence and a deep love of Sanskrit, and her discourse is mind-opening, gentle and exquisite.” Clare, UK
"Sharada teaches ‘Yoga Philosophy’ which she calls Yoga Knowledge with all her heart. She conveys the Vedantic/Yogic Teachings & Sacred Disciplines in a real, authentic, graspable, enjoyable, deep, heart-opening and mind-blowing way."
"She teaches with all heart. Her love, patience, compassion and clarity help one to see what Vedanta is saying in a seemingly effortless way." - Julia Devī
