I am Shiva. Not as arrogance. As recognition.
Shivoham
A Sacred Retreat in the Devotion of Shiva
A retreat of ritual, sound, fire, chant, and silence — creating the conditions for the deepest recognition the tradition knows.

Recognition, not religion.
Shivoham means I am Shiva. In the Vedantic tradition, it is not a statement of ego but its dissolution: the recognition that what you are, at the deepest level, is not separate from the universal consciousness that Shiva represents.
This retreat creates the conditions for that recognition through the sacred technologies of the Vedic tradition: ritual, sound, fire, chant, and silence. It is not a conceptual experience. The Rudrabhishek is performed. The Havan flames burn. The Kirtan is sung. The Japa is kept through the night.
Step into the sacred realms of Shivoham at Maatre, where every moment is a divine encounter.
“Shivoham is typically timed around significant Shaivite calendar dates, including Mahashivratri. Seats are very limited.”
