The instructor’s soothing voice washes over the audience, holding them in rapt attention inside the womb of a mega pyramid, a gigantic structure which has been specifically designed to induce optimal focus in those who seek to find peace in its embrace.

I am at the Stillness Summit event at Soul Nest, a distinctive space where luxury merges with the spiritual. The event is a thoughtfully curated blend of learning and reflection through insightful discussions and wellness experiences.

This is my second visit to this delightful resort after my initial and equally pleasurable stay in Jan 2025.

Soul Nest beautifully intertwines comfortable accommodation with bespoke experiences for both mind and body, spanning yoga, meditation, sound healing, gaushala visits and even outdoor activities like swimming, boating and other adventure activities.

This luxury retreat located in the premises of Pyramid Valley International, a globally well known meditation center, lies in the Kanakapura Taluk of Ramanagara district (now renamed as Bangalore South district) in the state of Karnataka, India.

So enter into this tranquil haven with me and heed their persuasive exhortation which urges you to ‘Relax, Recharge and Reconnect’!

About Pyramid Valley International – 

I would urge my readers to go through my earlier blog post on Pyramid Valley International which is basically a meditation center which was established in 2003 by Brahmarshi Pitamaha Dr. Patriji.  

But just to repeat a bit of information for context, this Not-for-profit organization which is managed by the Shreans Daga Foundation is primarily used for conducting classes, seminars and sessions relevant to meditation and spirituality, apart from many other related activities. It is also a venue where corporates and other organizations can conduct similar sessions. 

Soul Nest is the luxury resort and was constructed in 2019 in the Pyramid Valley premises mainly to cater to individuals, families and groups who can choose this space over the other budget accommodation which Pyramid Valley has been offering.

Pyramid Valley International is spread over 38 acres of undulating and scenic land. Soul Nest is tucked away in privacy behind all the other features of the campus, nestled within a charming landscape of lush greenery, rocks and tiny canals.

For more details on the features of this place, please read my earlier blog post on Soul Nest at Pyramid Valley.

The Stillness Summit event – 

This event showcased a handpicked set of activities and my experiences included meditation in the pyramid, early morning yoga on the verdant lawns, a sound healing session, gaushala visit, nature walk, trekking, bonfire and of course the many many courses of their sumptuous vegetarian buffets at all meals.

The highlight was a lavish dinner by starlight at the sparkling and brilliantly lit up poolside, with live retro hindi film music … a magical experience indeed and truly food for both body and soul.
