Discover what makes us unique

In a world of distractions and constant change, The Ashram’s weekly program is set up to let you reconnect to yourself, while empowering each guest to find the inner and outer strength to climb any mountain. It is the first “boot camp” retreat with a simple but effective formula that has kept its essence for over 50 years while continually progressing to provide guests with a fun, challenging, and innovative experience.
