Rekindle Friday's Magic


Dear Reader,

Thank you!

I have been thinking about all of you since Friday night.

I am still a little glowing from it.

There is something that happens when the right people find themselves in the same room — people who maybe didn't know each other before that evening, yet share so much more than just me. A lifestyle. A practice. A way of moving through the world and living life. And somehow the conversation just flows. Deeply. Easily. Like you have all known each other for years. That was Friday night.

Some of you I haven't seen in far too long. Some of you were meeting for the very first time. And yet by the end of the evening, there you all were — laughing, sharing, connecting in ways that felt natural and real. That is the community I have spent two decades building, and seeing it alive in one room on Friday night reminded me exactly why I do what I do.

The conversations we had — about practice, about life experiences, about the places that have shaped us and the ones we still dream of going — those are the conversations I live for. Thank you for bringing your whole selves to the table. Truly.


I shared something close to my heart that night, and I meant every word of it.

India is calling — and I want you there with me.

This will be my fifth trip, and I have been saving this particular journey for the right people, at the right time. From sunrise at the Taj Mahal to deep immersion at the ashram in Rishikesh, and a peaceful, unhurried close at a private retreat center in the hills — no rushing, no checkboxes. Just India, the way it deserves to be experienced, with someone who loves it enough to return again and again.

mid-February 2027 · 12–15 Days · Limited to 12 people

Just $100 holds your spot .

It will be 2-3 weeks before I have pricing on India, that's why the deposit is low.

And if India isn't calling you right now, perhaps Vermont is. I am returning to iconic Stowe with Liat Pisco in July 2027 — and a $500 deposit secures your spot. One spot has already been claimed.

✨single room $3150

✨double occupancy (each) $2750

✨non-participant rate $520

I have attached a photo from Friday evening — a little reminder of what we created together in that room. Looking at this group, this is exactly who I want beside me on these journeys.

As someone who was at the dinner Friday night, you have priority access to both retreats before I announce them to publicly. Replying yes now reserves your spot — before Liat and I share this more widely.

If something stirred in you Friday night, please trust that feeling. These groups are small by design — 15 for India, 16 for Vermont — and I would love for you to be among them.

Hit reply. I would love to talk more.

With So Much Love,

Karen "Durga Priya" Babcock

Dearest Reader, Have you ever wanted to go to India but weren't quite sure how to make it happen?

As someone who has been part of my world — whether we have practiced together, traveled together, or simply stayed connected over the years — you are among the first to know about these...
