19th of March to 6th of April 2026
Meditative Hiking in the Himalayas, Navrati - the 9 goddess festival - and the Intelligence of the Heart course
with Ulrich Freitag and Prakash.... Sorry little bug in the system....
India is not only a fascinating country, but also a symbol of spirituality and openness. This journey is therefore an invitation to explore more deeply the space of the heart, the healing power, and the joy of meditation.
This journey, which lasts a little over three weeks, takes us to the Himalayan province of Uttarakhand, also known as Kumaon, to the Pindari Glacier, and to the inhabitants of the village of Kathi. It is my sixth visit to their homeland.
Our journey begins in Delhi at the World Buddhist Meditation Center and in the Tibetan Quarter with a visit to Tibetan doctors. We then continue to the Kumaon Mountains, where, according to legend, Shiva still reigns.
We stop in Kasar Devi, spend the night in the Flower House, visit the magnificent bazaar of Almora, and spend two nights in the holy city of Bageshwar. Here we experience ancient India with its rituals, incense sticks, cows, and narrow market alleys.
We then embark on a three-day trekking tour through breathtaking rhododendron forests. (For people which feel like this is too difficult for them, there is now the possibility to take a taxi). We approach the peaks of the Himalayas, the Pindari Glacier, and enjoy the spectacular view of Nanda Devi, one of India's highest mountain.
We meet the inhabitants of the village of Kathi. Five years ago, there were no roads or electricity in their homes, but their hearts are bursting with energy! We discover their way of life and spirituality, in which healing, shamanism, and friendship are naturally interwoven. It is a deeply moving experience from which we can all learn. We are also invited to celebrate one of their traditional festivals with them for several days: Navratri – the festival of the nine goddesses – a truly uplifting experience!
Silent walks, heart meditations, learning heart readings, rituals, and mantra recitations will also be part of our journey. All of this forms the basis for a completely new way of traveling and living together. The trip also includes training in heart intelligence. Read testimonials and comments on the effects of heart readings below (also on the testimonials page).
We will leave India from Delhi to return to Europe and Canada.
Travel price: €1600, including accommodation, meals, training, and all domestic transportation, additional
flight.
€1200 for Indians.
Financial arangements possible.
Some sponsorship places are also available.

The intelligence of the heart 1. 15th of March - 9th of April 2025, Himalaya, Uttarakhand, India
The intelligence of the heart 1
Home is where the heart is. The heart is source of our physical, psychological and spiritual wellbeing. The heart gives meaning to our lives, makes us feel connected, balanced and happy.
Our heart is -scientifically proven- the single most important factor for our health and wellbeing , learning, intuitive capacities, problem resolutions as well as for productivity at work.
The heart’s energy field is 100 times stronger than that of the mind and up to 5000 times stronger magnetic field; it creates the hormones of happiness, makes math students have an average of 70% better notes and an up to 400% better immune system. The heart can align all the other systems in the bodymind. It is therefore the key, ‘the royal path’. This is what the sages of many traditions have taught since a long time and is today proven fact.
You learn in this course simple though effective techniques to connect with your heart’s intelligence: short heart coherence exercises, a heart meditation as well as techniques of ‘Bodymind Intelligence’ approach to release stress and tensions. All these techniques you can easily integrate in your daily life. You will also learn basics to connect with our incredible ‘inborn’ psychic capacities when you connect with your heart.
This will bring you the opportunity to reconnect with inner peace, spaciousness and refreshing relaxation. It can help you to clear your mind in a simple and natural way, to find resolutions of problematic situations on a higher level.
This conference – workshop is part 1 of a series of workshops related to the intelligence of our hearts. See the ‘Intelligence of the heart’ training part 2 and 3 below.
We give this conference-workshop for small and big groups, for organisations, educational institutions and businesses in English, French and german. Please ask for a special version depending on your needs
The intelligence of the heart 2 and 3:
The next level of consciousness -the physical, psychological, all life embracing healing potentials of our hearts
with Ulrich Freitag
The heart is the key, ‘the royal path’ to our potentials. -see also of Heart Intelligence 1 above.
We all have these extraordinary capacities of the intelligence of our hearts and its psychic potentials lying dormant in us. We will awaken them in this training.
We will experience ‘heart coherence’ on a deeper level and explore different themes in relation with our heart intelligence: inner connectedness and peace, health and healing, conscious communication, conflict resolutions and especially intuition including psychic readings from the heart.
We begin with a heart meditation, which brings us right into the space of inner calm and centeredness. This is our starting point to go into synchronicity with others. We experience the natural capacity of our hearts to perceive the other. This is also called ‘heart-reading’, conscious counselling or psychic readings from the heart. In a clear and conscious way we learn to ‘work’ with our intuition on this level on different themes from health issues to conflict resolution on a higher level. We experience that we all have these incredible gifts of perceiving, seeing, understanding on a higher level inside of us. It is a deep intelligence -part of our human heritage- waiting to be revealed!
With this natural expansion, we will also touch old wounds and trauma and help to release them by working with the ‘bodymind armouring’, emotional release, reconditioning and the meridians. Here we will learn a very specific acupressure technique, deep tissue massage and other bodymind techniques.
Welcome to a very touching, surprising, healing and heart-full experience!
For scientific research please see also the website of the Heartmath Institute, as well as the website and ground breaking book ‘Love and Survival’ of Dean Ornish MD and world renowned cardiologist. Also the scientific research of Candice Perth MD and her book ‘Molecules of emotions’ is significant. Some of these techniques were taught already to thousands of people in health care institutions, leadership seminars, to priests and police force officers.
Some testimonials of clients and students
Several months after my experience in the Himalayas, I can say that the effects persist. The meditations and the quiet hikes have provided me with insights that continue to manifest in my daily life. I feel more grounded. Furthermore, I believe my experience has made me a more aware person, living more in the present moment. My daily life, which can sometimes be quite stressful, has less influence on me. I can say that this journey within me continues. Additionally, I spread this well-being to those around me, so that everyone can better cope with their everyday lives with a certain “ZENITUDE.”
Nelson Vachon
This training in Bodymind Intelligence with Ulrich in India has changed my life. I had health issues that had been gradually worsening for five years, culminating in a diagnosis of ulcerative colitis last year. During the trip to India and throughout the training, several sessions helped me release deep pain, liberate myself, and feel lighter. Thank you, Ulrich, for your calming presence and professionalism during these sessions. Your concern for what the receiving person experiences and what the giving person experiences helped me trust myself to allow what needed to unfold.
During this journey, my bleeding stopped, and I have been in remission since then. Now that I have been back for five months, the bleeding has still not returned.
Marie B. Programmer
I really enjoyed the part of the class focusing on the intelligence of the heart. Ulrich, you are a fantastic teacher! You share your experiences with us and convey your knowledge with seriousness and humor. This teaching is very simple but has a very broad impact! It’s a real gem. These new insights will be useful to me for the rest of my life.
I also enjoyed the travel aspect immensely. Very beautiful encounters, breathtaking landscapes. Lots of fresh air and hiking. Thank you, Ulrich, for sharing “your findings” from your previous journeys with us.
Very good food and lovely accommodations. Thank you very much, Ulrich.
Hélène St Pièrre
The call of India has rooted me in a favorable, powerful, and fertile ground to be available for heart-centered presence, granting me the openness needed to explore and let reveal the “intelligence of the heart,” the essence of life that has always been there. Ulrich’s training and guidance, both during the training moments and regarding what arose in daily life and the challenges to be faced, allowed me to meet myself deeply, to accept myself, and to surrender completely to the process of rebirth in and through the heart. Having settled after my return (one month ago) allows me to see today how profoundly his kindness and attentiveness cared for what I needed and what wanted to be seen and acknowledged. A huge thank you to you, Ulrich, for this intense and wonderful inner and outer journey.
Marie R. from Quebec
Back after an extraordinary adventure in northern India, where the people are so welcoming and warm.
Thank you for being a committed guide for the group, sharing your enthusiasm and doing everything possible for us to fully experience the adventure and be as close to reality as possible.
I am filled with gratitude!
The Teachings: Journey to the Heart of the Heart
Thank you, Ulrich, for imparting these wonderful teachings from heart to heart with utter simplicity and sincerity. This has enabled me to open my heart more to that divine part within me that is radiant and calm. Surely, the expression of this unique experience will also touch the people in my surroundings.
That is my greatest wish!
Darquise Cantin
The highlight of the journey for me was truly the heart meditations! A beautiful tool for self-reflection and discovering others! It complements so well the approach I started two years ago in medical Qi Gong. I have practiced mental reading from the heart since then, both in my private life and in my work.
I loved India and its people, despite all the worries I had. I felt safe in this human chaos, thanks to your experience with India. The choice of accommodations was wise each time. I loved both the monastery in Delhi and the one in McLoid Gange.
I also loved the group! I truly consider myself lucky and privileged to have been part of this group of wonderful, dedicated individuals with generous hearts.
