Rishikesh is a place which has a special place in Manoj’s heart and helped him be the teacher he is today. Having visited Rishikesh and India multiple times for retreats, key trainings and exploration over the last 10 years, this was the place that helped him deepen his practice, and helped inspire him to share the wisdom of this special place with the world. It was always his dream to support others coming to India on retreats so they can experience the ways India has transformed his own life.
