About the Retreat

Mastering Life is more than a retreat — it is a 360° wellness experience that nourishes the whole being — mind, body, and soul. Each day blends stillness and movement, silence and sharing, wisdom and practice — creating a rhythm that carries you beyond concepts and into lived transformation.

Through guided meditation, you quiet the mind and find your center. Through conscious movement, qi gong, and breathwork, you reconnect with the body, releasing tension and restoring flow. Through customized nutrition, you rebalance your system and transform your health. And through energy healing, sound baths, and ecstatic dance, you open pathways for joy and authentic living.

With the power of Pyramid Valley’s sacred setting, you will reset your nervous system, release old patterns, and bring you into presence, clarity, and flow. You’ll return not only rested, but realigned — with yourself, with life, and with the deeper intelligence that moves us all.

Blessings,

Nutrition by Ati ™

In just five days, you’ll discover how honoring your unique body type can unlock more energy, improve digestion, and restore a deep sense of inner balance — without restriction, force, or punishment.

Before the retreat, you’ll complete a quick 15-minute quiz to identify your individual type. Then, throughout the program, you’ll experience what it feels like to eat, move, and live in alignment with your natural constitution.

As a natural side effect of this balancing approach, you may also notice fat loss or reduced bloating. We encourage you to take before-and-after photos or measurements for your own inspiration and progress tracking — though sharing is entirely optional.

Come curious. Leave transformed.

Pyramid Valley International

Imagine stepping away from the noise of daily life into a serene valley surrounded by gentle hills and lush greenery. Pyramid Valley International, just outside Bangalore, is home to the world’s largest meditation pyramid — a 100-foot sanctuary of sacred energy designed to accelerate inner stillness and clarity. Many visitors describe the experience as stepping into another dimension of peace.

Spread across 40 acres, the campus is dotted with powerful energy spots, quiet spaces for reflection, and state-of-the-art halls for workshops and gatherings. Here, you’ll find the perfect balance of silence, learning, and transformation.

Accommodations range from simple dormitories to eco-luxury suites, all created to support your inner journey in a distraction-free environment. Alongside this, guests are nourished with wholesome sattvic vegan and vegetarian meals, crafted to keep the body light and the mind clear.

When you join our retreat here, you’re not just attending an event — you’re immersing yourself in a sacred environment designed to help you deepen your practice, release old patterns, and awaken a profound sense of inner freedom.

What Attendees Are Saying

Magical Experience!

My first Cirak retreat was really, really magical! Every day was a special day. The workshops, the meditations, the food, the hospitality, everything was arranged perfectly. And, of course, all the incredible people I met! This experience was something I will never forget.

Kely D.

Much-needed structure!

I was trying many things in my life, yet I was not able to put them practically. How to live each moment, be you, triggers, feeling the feelings, etc. This retreat gave me much-needed structure, a daily practice. It got me really excited about the journey ahead. I want to see how far I can go.

Chhaya V.

Really powerful!

I loved the meditations, the tours, the people. Feeling appreciated by everybody, feeling accepted, was really powerful. It was a great vibe. We really bonded as a group. Many of them have become life-long friends. Chris’ mindfulness teachings will help me a lot in daily life.

Bjorn H.

Exceded all expectations

It was great, it was amazing. The entire event was so well organized. I got everything I wanted out of it and much much more. Cirak’s teachings are thought-changing. He gives you a new perspective, helps you break through all your beliefs, and shows you how to live your life the way you’re meant to.

Dhairya V.

We became a family

This was my first-ever retreat. I’m so happy I took it. It’s new to put myself as a priority. But once we do, we can help others. I met so many amazing people from all over the world. We became a family. This week was so fulfilling and eye-opening. All the workshops, meditations… we were never bored. I’m really grateful for this experience.

Alina Z.

A miracle experience

I came here spontaneously. It turned out to be so inspiring, so creative. I found real people, real hearts, real feelings, real love. It was mesmerizing, beyond my expectations. Be You is so easy to understand, to sink into. I feel so blessed. This retreat was a miracle experience. I can’t wait to attend another one.

Ficha I.

Another level

This experience took things to another level for me. Cirak’s talks help you understand meditation in such simple terms, it takes away all the complications so you can focus on the practice. Plus, I met the most amazing people. I’m absolutely thrilled to have been part of this.
