Discover Your Purpose

Discover Your Purpose is a two-night, three-day meditation and self-discovery retreat at Siddhayatan Tirth & Spiritual Retreat Center in Windom, Texas. It is meant for anyone who feels lost, unmotivated, or simply wants to bring their daily life closer to what they care about. The course was developed by Acharya Shree Yogeesh and is taught by Sadhvi Anubhuti, and it is open to beginners.

What to Expect

The weekend combines teaching, mantra and meditation, breathwork, and unhurried time alone. There are three course sessions, one on each day, built around eleven practical steps for finding your purpose and living by it. Guests who have attended describe Sadhvi Anubhuti walking them through those steps as everyday guidance toward inner peace.

The teaching draws on ancient breathing techniques and Purnam Yoga® to release built-up tension and negativity, along with yogic teachings meant to support a healthy body. The themes are clarity about your life's work, working through fears and limiting beliefs, and letting go of what the tradition calls heavy karmas. Two mantra and meditation sessions are held in the evenings, and there is personal time set aside for reflection.

The rhythm is simple. Day one is arrival: check-in runs from 3:00 to 6:00 pm, followed by the first mantra and meditation session, dinner, and lights off at 10:00 pm. On day two, the first course class begins at 9:00 am, the second at 2:00 pm, and the second mantra and meditation session closes the day. Day three has the final class at 9:00 am and check-out at noon. Breakfast on the second morning is silent. In winter (early November to early March), meals and evening sessions shift earlier, with dinner in the late afternoon. Hatha yoga classes are available as an optional add-on on the mornings of days two and three, at 7:00 am.

Everyone who books receives a copy of the book Soul Talks: Path of Purification.

The Teachers

Acharya Shree Yogeesh developed the Discover Your Purpose course, which draws on yogic and meditative teachings. Sadhvi Anubhuti teaches it at Siddhayatan, guiding participants through the eleven steps and the classes that make up the weekend.

The Setting

Siddhayatan Tirth is an ashram in the Northeast Texas countryside near Windom, run by monks who blend ancient wisdom with modern practice. The emphasis is on simple living and higher thinking, away from distractions. Visitors often mention the quiet, the grounds and the tirths, which are pleasant to wander between sessions.

Lodging is simple and peaceful. Options include individual rooms, double rooms, and eco-friendly group and family rooms that sleep up to eight. Vegetarian meals come with your accommodations. On the final day, lunch is not included but can be added. Many guests extend their stay with extra days at the ashram.

Before You Go

No prior experience is needed. The program suits people of any background, including those with no exposure to spiritual teachings. The course is cost-inclusive of three class sessions, two mantra and meditation sessions, meals with lodging, and the bonus book. The optional hatha yoga class is extra. As one guest put it, you learn the principles, and it is up to you to put them into practice afterward.
