Inner Healing Immersion: Private Spiritual Retreat

With Danielle Matthews and Gurudev Shri Amritji

June 17 - 21, 2026

Inner Healing Immersion

Private Spiritual Retreat

This retreat is an invitation to step out of the momentum of daily life, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and allow space for deeper healing and transformation to unfold naturally.

Whether you have explored personal growth or therapy and sense something deeper remains held within the body, feel called to pause and reconnect with your inner guidance, or are a teacher seeking time to deepen your own practice, this retreat offers a supportive environment for profound inner work.

About the Retreat

Features:

  • Consultation with Danielle before your arrival to customize your retreat
  • Six 90–120 minute personalized Yoga Therapy sessions, offered 1-2 times daily
  • Personalized Yoga Nidra recording to support continued integration after the retreat
  • In-depth discussions and teachings with Danielle exploring the Integrative Amrit Method
  • Time for nature walks and visits to the nearby springs
  • Two Darshan community gatherings with Gurudev Shri Amritji*
  • Personal meeting with Gurudev*

This retreat is designed and thoughtfully customized for anyone seeking to go deeper in their spiritual practice. Yoga therapy resets the nervous system, freeing your life force and bringing about soul-level healing. The personalized private yoga therapy sessions guide you beyond the thinking mind and into the energy body, where old patterns and energetic residue from the past can finally be released.

The sessions open the door for insight into situations currently creating stress or inner conflict including your relationships, health challenges or life events.

Each session is guided by what is arising for you in the moment, allowing the retreat to meet your unique needs and intentions. Yoga Therapy sessions provide a sacred space where deeply held patterns and past traumas can surface and begin to release, allowing you to finally let go of that which is no longer serving you.

Quiet walks in the forest and visits to the nearby springs are woven throughout the retreat to support integration and create space for reflection. Your stay also includes opportunities to explore the philosophy of the Integrative Amrit Method to help illuminate the deeper principles behind the practices as you experience them directly within your body, mind, and spirit.

Offered within the energetic vortex of the Amrit Yoga Institute, the combination of private yoga therapy sessions, relaxing in nature, Florida’s natural springs and personal time with a living yoga master creates the potential for a truly life-altering experience.

This retreat includes Darshan with Gurudev twice during your stay*. Additionally, you will have the rare opportunity to meet with him privately to ask the deeper questions on your heart and receive direct and personal guidance.

During these four days, enjoy beautiful accommodations in the heart of the Ocala National Forest, a space shaped by the presence and teachings of Gurudev.

Meals not included, full kitchen to store and prepare food you bring.

What Participants Are Saying:

“For a long time I felt imprisoned in my own body by painful experiences from my
past. No matter how hard I tried to move forward, something always seemed to
pull me back.

I came to this retreat searching for freedom from that weight, and what I
discovered was not just theory, but practical tools to release what had been living
in my body.

My time in the forest was wild in the best possible way. It is truly powerful to
finally understand how to let go of the past—not just in the mind or emotions, but
where it had been held within the body.”
— Marivic P

“I am incredibly grateful that I made the trip and strongly recommend this
program. The experience was thoughtfully customized to meet my goals
and needs.

As someone who has always had a very active and imaginative mind, the
time onsite felt almost like being introduced to my body for the first time. I
experienced what a truly quiet mind feels like. It was one of the most
peaceful and calming experiences I have had.

I am deeply grateful to Danielle and the AYI team for this experience and
hope to return again someday. I highly recommend this program to anyone
interested in exploring a deeper connection between mind and body.”

About the Retreat

Lead Teachers

Danielle Matthews
Danielle began practicing Yoga Nidra regularly after a traumatic brain injury pulled her away from the life she once knew and initiated a profound inner awakening. Through daily practice she experienced relief from anxiety and depression and discovered a deep sense of peace within, inspiring her to study the practice more deeply and share it with others. In 2015 she completed both the I AM Yoga Nidra™ Certification and Advanced Certification at the Amrit Yoga Institute and became a regular assistant in these programs. In 2021 she moved to the institute to immerse herself more fully in the teachings of Gurudev Shri Amritji and the Integrative Amrit Method. In 2023 she traveled to Iceland to complete I AM Yoga Therapy™ Certification with Kamini Desai, where she experienced a powerful initiation into the therapeutic impact of this modality. Danielle now offers personalized Yoga Nidra and Yoga Therapy sessions, as well as…

Gurudev Shri Amritji
Gurudev Shri Amritji is the first disciple to bring the sacred teachings of the Lord Lakulish (Shiva) and Kripalu Lineage to the West in 1960. Gurudev was personally empowered to give shaktipat by his Guru Swami Shri Kripalvanada. In 1970 Gurudev experienced a spontaneous awakening of the Soul Being Presence that I AM. This was reinforced by a three month meditation retreat in silence and seclusion. He emerged as a spiritual master embodying the rare capacity to transmit profound healing and transformative prana Shakti through energetic transmission. He discovered the body is the book of secrets; it is the temple of prana Shakti, and heart is the center of Shiva consciousness. Gurudev is repeatedly honored by prestigious organizations and world-renowned authorities in the East and West.
