Originally from Germany, Ashishyana quickly discovered that her life was not what she knew it could be. She embarked on a global journey in search of her passion and purpose. She met Yaahoo Baba and Anatta Sangha, and immediately knew she was home, she had found her family of growth. Since then Ashishyana has been learning, growing, and sharing the wisdom imparted on her by her Guru. Ashishyana is also a certified Yoga teacher in Hatha Yoga, a Sound healer, and a Reiki healer.
Ashishyana joyfully shares all of these gifts with many beings, offering her service of healing, guidance, and a heart full of love to lift up others.
Mahayana is a Reiki Master, retreat facilitator, and devotional musician originally from Canada. It is her greatest joy to guide others in their own expansion through meditations, retreats, teachings, and one-on-one therapies.
Mahayana has spent 5 years living in India with her Guru and Sangha. In this time her life has been transformed through his grace, pointings, and his wisdom. It is now her blessing and honour to be able to share what she as received by this grace to others, through these retreats hosted by Anatta Sangha. Mahayana knows the importance of guiding people through their stories and patterns to the limitless freedom behind them. She is passionate about using the power of retreats to facilitate the highest awakening and realization in each participant.
Maitreya (born as Shaurya Vardhen Pandey) is a contemporary spiritual master who embodies the timeless wisdom of Advaita, Zen, Sufi mysticism, Bhakti devotion, and Yoga. Known for his simple yet profound way of sharing deep truths, he invites seekers not to become someone, but to encounter their true self, behind all identities and roles.
Through Satsang, online retreats, and personal dialogues on podcasts, Maitreya helps people break free from the burdens of overthinking, ego struggles, and modern anxieties—guiding them toward effortless joy and inner freedom.
Vajrayana is a retreat facilitator, a bodywork therapist, and a devotional singer and pianist from Kolkata, India. Her greatest joy is to guide others on their transformational journey through retreats, meditations and one-on-one therapies.
Vajrayana had an inclination towards understanding of herself and mystery of life from quite a young age. Years later, her earnest quest brought her to Rishikesh where she encountered Yaahoo Baba - her Guru. She found guidance and discovered herself and her purpose with her Guru. Since then, she has been living in the grace of her Guru and the sangha for the last 3 years which has slowly transformed her life. Simple yet profound pointings and practices in daily life made her bountiful of life, and now she is yearning to share this magic of self discovery to all who are seeking.
At present, she is travelling around India with her Sangha on the path of sharing this joy of truth, devotion, love and awakening with the world.
Meet Veetyana, a retreat facilitator, bioenergetic bodywork therapist, and yoga teacher. She finds joy in wholeheartedly combining her skills to help those earnestly seeking a transformative journey, guiding them to heal and remember their primary true nature.
Veetyana, formerly a nurse in the Philippines, felt an inner calling to follow her higher purpose, leading her to India. There, she meet her master and Anatta Sangha, experiencing a drastic transformation and being guided to the direct path to freedom. This life-changing encounter has reshaped her perspective.
With a broader outlook, where everything resides in her heart, Veetyana continues sharing her passion with others through retreats, therapies, singing, celebration and the wisdom of self-inquiry.
Bhaktiyana is a devotional Kirtan leader, trained therapist, and retreat facilitator from the UK. With a heart dedicated to guiding others on their journey of self-discovery, Bhaktiyana offers transformative retreats, breathwork sessions, meditations, and the blissful joy of Kirtan gatherings.
Through her one-on-one sessions and teachings, she creates a warm space for healing and awakening, where individuals can discover eternal stability and joy.
Three years ago in the Himalayas, Bhaktiyana was graced by guidance from her living Master, Yaahoo Baba. Her life powerfully transformed through spiritual practices and wisdom, and now she just wants to share that heartful joy with everyone. She inspires others to live a life of freedom and celebration, where joy fills the air in the dance of devotion and truth.
Visarjan is a retreat facilitator, a Reiki healer and leading all of Anatta Sangha's corporate programs. Originally from UP, India, his spiritual quest lead him to find Yaahoo Baba and Anatta Sangha.
His 10 years of experience in corporate gave him a stable job and career but in 2020 he started realizing that it will never give him the contentment he is always looking for. After 3 years of searching, he met Sangha through a bodywork therapy session, and that changed the entire vision and trajectory of his life.
His life transformed with Sangha's grace and now Visarjan is committed to sharing this wisdom in the corporate world and beyond. His positive attitude towards life, work, and sharing is truly inspiring, impacting many beings through his guidance and wisdom.

Schedule
Hello Beloved Ones!
We are excited to invite you on a profound 5-day spiritual journey. Together, we will experience a joyful festival right in the heart of Arambol. It will be a transforming journey of self-discovery designed to help you find clarity, peace, and a blossoming of your heart.
On your arrival at So Hum, you will be greeted by the warmth of like-minded beings, welcoming you with open arms. It's a place where you very quickly feel at home!
We warmly invite you to arrive and check in by 10:00 am on December 25th, 2024, as the festival will begin with friendly introductions and fun ice-breakers to get to know each other.
On our first day, we will spend most of the day having fun and getting to know each other, as well as doing our first meditation from the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra Sutras in the late afternoon. In the evening, we will enjoy the sunset and a celebration of song and dance in Utsav Kirtan!
Our mornings will start at 7:30am with unique breathwork sessions, such as:
Dantian Breathing: This practice heals and energizes the three dantiens of the body.
Pulsation Breathwork: A technique to make our basic pulsations of anger, pain, and fear healthy.
Chakra Breathwork: To revive and balance our 7 basic chakras of the body.
Qi-Gong: An ancient Chinese practice that works with our Chi energy that stabilizes the mind and body with breath.
After breathwork, we will enjoy a delicious vegetarian/vegan breakfast in the beautiful resturaunt of So Hum Spirtual Resort, called "Bean Me Up".
Following breakfast, we will dive deep into Zen Koans, a powerful session of self-inquiry to free ourselves from internal holdings.
Each day at the festival will include sharing and wisdom circles, allowing us to connect and share our experiences with one another.
Every afternoon, we will practice the powerful meditations from the Shiva Sutras (Vigyan Bhairav Tantra) and cultivate the essence of Tantra practices. This will be followed by a high celebration of Bhakti Bliss in Utsav Kirtan, where we will sing and rejoice in the wisdom of the Awakened Masters.
Full participation in all scheduled activities is recommended, as we believe your sincere engagement will enhance the collective experience.
Our festival is a welcoming space for seekers of all backgrounds and experience levels. It's a warm and inclusive environment where like-minded individuals gather to learn and grow together.
By the end of this festival, you will experience profound transformation within yourself, and alongside meditation practice, there will be moments of celebration, joy, and abundant laughter. In Utsav Sangha retreats and festivals, we are sincere but not too serious!
You will also be able to take a dip in the beautiful swimming pool and an outing to enjoy sunset at the beach during any of our break times from the main schedule and enjoy the lovely sunset and dinner from beachfront.
The Sangha is here to support you throughout the festival, offering one-on-one talks to address any questions or concerns that may arise.
Our final activity will be a heartwarming celebration together with Kirtan and a Love Tunnel, celebrating the freedom and connection we have formed with each other.
On the last day, we will have a beautiful breakfast together, and Dokusan with Maitreya, which is a self-inquiry session to awaken to your true nature. After lunch, we will finish our festival with our Love Tunnel.
