The teachers here carry lineages that trace back generations. Twenty-one days in Dharamsala is a serious undertaking — and a seriously transformative one. The classical Panchakarma recommendation, the threshold at which neural pathways genuinely begin to rewire, and the length at which long-term practitioners describe fundamental change in their relationship to practice.
