Utsava Maa (Celebration of the Great Mother)

This is a festival/conference designed to educate and inspire women from around the world, interested in the intersection of nature and self. Our 4th annual celebration seeks to unravel the obstacles preventing us from living our biggest life, in honor of the creator, creating in us a legacy our daughters will benefit from. 


 “I’m so glad I met all these fabulous women who have helped me embark on this new stage of my life. Thank you.” Carla Simmons UM19


 “Thanks for giving us the space to be what we are, sharing our vision, laugh, create, celebrate freedom and life.” -Undergrowth Collective, UK


 “Once upon a time I danced with sisters singing this mantra and my life changed. Forever grateful for @utsavamaa. ‘Shiva Shiva Shiva Shambo’!” -@teriyogi 


We must know how to care for and be kind  to ourselves. The festival resets us, refreshes by wholesome home grown meals,  fresh mountain water from our desert well, yoga classes from a host of  international teachers, rejuvenating guided meditations and TLC  treatments from our wondrous wellness centre. Lectures, workshops, performances, red tent discussions, crafts market, female documentary screenings, and community time with sisters from the village and around the world.

I was very disappointed with my experience with this company. Due to unforeseen circumstances, my cousin and I had to cancel our attendance. It was basically impossible to find any information regarding their cancellation policy. I did so anyway, as we had no choice. I was advised fairly promptly that I had cancelled by the appropriate cut-off date. I hoped that there may be some compensation. I was not expecting a full refund, but a partial one would have been fair given the circumstances. There were one or two vague emails in response to my inquiries about a refund. And then they just stopped contacting me. This left a very poor impression on me, and I certainly won't be seeking to do any experiences through this company again. It struck me as very unprofessional and very contrary to the image presented when promoting the retreat.

The experience exceeded my expectations. I met incredible women from around world. We talked, did art, learned about important causes, shopped, did yoga, danced, ate delicious food, provided a safe space for each other to share their hearts, did workshops, sang songs. It was togetherness Maximus and I LOVED every second. The rooms are large. I felt safe. It was awesome.

The gathering of women at the festival was unforgettable. The ashram accommodation was still being finished as we arrived, but the rooms were spacious and facilities adequate. The atmosphere was lively and warm and far outweighed the austerity. I would highly recommend Attending the next festival.

I'll be back! Excellent food and wonderful entertainment. Thank you for arranging this festival. AMAZING! Just a word to the wise: be sure to pack REALLY warm clothes, there are no heaters in the rooms and it's freezing. But we learned to be one with nature..... :)
