About Sarvodaya

Rooted in Philosophy

Sarvodaya—meaning "universal uplift" or "welfare of all"—is derived from Sanskrit: sarva (all) and udaya (rise, welfare). This retreat embodies that philosophy: a space where everyone who enters experiences genuine care, connection, and growth.

We believe retreat isn't about escaping life—it's about returning to yourself. Here, you'll find space to create, practice, swim, and simply be.

"In stillness and nature, we find clarity. In community and care, we find purpose."
