Enlighten Camps

Enlighten camps have a focus on the topic, and its expanse into the whole. This is a fantastic journey into the subject of interest and being one with it.

These camps are ideal for those who want to see how world would be different if we start seeing it with oneness and consciously. The topic acts as the medium.

Apart from pre-scheduled camps, these camps are also done on requests from a group or school or university students in any of the Manthan gurukuls.

Enlighten camps are typically held for 2 to 3 days. Some folks may choose to stay on or arrive before also.
