Join Jaya Lakshmi and Ananda as they lead you on a stunning and mystical Lake Tahoe Soul Journey.  Known for its crystalline waters, sweeping alpine views, granite boulders, and fresh air, Lake Tahoe is a place that brings awe and nourishes the soul.  


Throughout these 5 days, Jaya Lakshmi and Ananda will share their favorite hikes and swimming spots, offer music on the hikes, and provide daily Yoga with live music all the while staying at a gorgeous lake front estate. To top it off, it includes three delicious organic vegetarian meals per day.

Swimming, Hiking and adventures


There will be ample time to hang out on the beach, go swimming, and fully relax into the stunning beauty of Lake Tahoe and surroundings.  Jaya Lakshmi and Ananda will also be leading the group on some of their favorite hikes in the area.  In addition, they will bring instruments to serenade with mantras and heart songs. The hiking will be easy to intermediate level. Max 3 hours hiking round trip.  


Yoga and Chanting 


This retreat will also help deepen your love and practice of chanting, bhakti, yoga, and ceremony in a majestic and elevating environment.  We will sing and dance our hearts open.

Thank you both so very much! What a beautiful and special time to spend together. The outdoor time was so nourishing, yoga was wonderful and the sangha was epic. Love and blessings, Ana

Simply magical. The people were wonderful, the food was nourishing and delicious, and the yoga and singing filled my soul. This is a trip I'll remember for the rest of my life. It was exactly what I needed to recenter and recharge.

I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt joy of attending the Maui Alter of Love Retreat. Both Lakshmi and Ananda were such gracious and wonderful facilitators that made this retreat so special for me. I experienced amazing music, playtime, beach time, community, singing, dancing, daily yoga, cacao ceremony, laughter, wisdom satsangs, whale watching, snorkling, gourmet food and so much more. It was a blissful journey I will never forget and look forward to experiencing more retreats from these beautiful beings of love and light. Gratitude to Lakshmi and Ananda.

This was the trip of a lifetime! The setting and accommodations were perfect. Having the beach right across the street, we saw a beautiful sunset each night while listening and singing along to Jaya Lakshmi and Ananda's beautiful music. I enjoyed so much learning all the breathing exercises and different types of yoga and the devotional practices. It was an atmosphere of respect and friendliness and I enjoyed conversing with all the other participants. And the food was sensational! I would highly recommend this retreat which also offered opportunities to snorkel as well.

This was my 3rd retreat with Jaya Lakshmi. She shares her many talents generously. The music, the yoga, the food, other participants, time in the ocean-could not have been better. Ananda also gives 100%. Truly an inspiring, soul nurturing, loving, authentic experience. Unforgettable delight for the whole being. Thank you!!!

A beautiful musical and magical spiritual journey we will remember for a lifetime. Perfect balance of kundalini, music & chants, ceremonies, great vegetarian food, new friends, and exciting adventures. During our whale excursion, we summoned these wonderful great beings with music and drumming. On our first swim, a Momma and baby whale approached us and came eye to eye with us, then offered a high 5 with its fin before cruising back into the wild deep blue from whence they came. Wahe Guru! Lakshmi and Ananda led us to this magical experience. They are great musicians, teachers, guides, and just wonderful people we feel grateful to have gotten to know and become friends with. Hence we are headed to the Guatemala retreat and look forward to another magical journey. Sat Nam, Fez & Kellye

We thoroughly enjoyed our retreat in Hawaii with Jaya Lakshmi and Ananda. So much so that we are doing it again! The intimate chanting every evening was a dream come true. The whale excursions were an amazing experience that we will never forget! Waking up with kundalini yoga and the accompanying live music was fantastic. The cacao ceremony was a deeply enriching experience. Our whole family was made to feel very welcome and we created friendships that will last a lifetime. The kirtronica on the last evening was an absolutely blast, heart opening and uplifting! Looking forward to more adventures and much love to Jaya Lakshmi and Amanda. Wahe Guru!

Jaya Lakshmi and Ananda create the most amazing space, whether it’s an Alter of love Weekend or a Hawaii retreat, they truly hold sacred space. The love that they share with the world is incredible. Kirtronica, kundalini Yoga, Music, Chanting, cacao. They bridge so many modalities and tickle your heart of life. You allways leave with a new sense of self, love, and connection. Give Thanks ?
