Tiruvannamalai - Arunachala
Small, lively town of Tiruvannamalai in Tamil Nadu state, lies at the foot of Arunachala hill, one of the holiest mountains of India, which represents pure essence of Shiva. Shiva is an aspect of God who destroys in order to create new. Arunachala hill is Shiva himself and the place where the highest number of people experienced enlightement.
This place is also a home of the amazing Arunachaleswara temple, the largest Shiva temple in India and at least 2000 years old. The ashram of Ramana Maharshi, one of the most famous Indian spiritual teachers of Advaita, philosophy of Oneness. His ashram is a place of peace and self-reflection, vibrating with the insight that duality does not exist. It is customary to make a one-day pilgrimage around the mountain through the forest and nature and the next day to climb the mountain.
Ivan will give spiritual teachings on the principles of oneness and conduct meditations of silence.

Auroville
Auroville is international city just five kilometers away
from the Indian Ocean coast in Tamil Nadu state, near the former
French colony of Pondicherry, known as the Azure coast of the east. The city
was conceived in the 1960s, and was created to help each individual to realize the truth about themselves.
Auroville does not belong to any nation, religion or race, but to whole of
humanity. It was established by a spiritual teacher called The Mother in honor of the great Indian philosopher,
revolutionary, poet and spiritual teacher Sri Aurobindo.
The central point of Auroville is Matrimandir, spectacular orb-shaped building descended from the Astral world and built for over 40 years with the help of volonteers and donations. Staying close to the golden orb brings altered state of consciousness. Meditation inside Matrimandir, in one of the Matrimandir petals, or under the banjan trees, is an extraordinary personal experience.
Auroville has its own private sandy beach at the Indian Ocean where we will have plenty of time to relax and enjoy the warm ocean and coconut palms. Meditations and evening lectures on awareness and consciousness will be held every day.
