Freedom Intensives in Tiruvannamalai, India
Intensives in Tiru with Sal are a paradigm shifting experience. You will be living freedom from the moment the intensive begins, all day every day. You will meet beautiful new friends who are engaged in discovering and living their own natural human condition of freedom and health. Tiruvannamalai, with Mount Arunachala, is a very poweful place for this life-changing paradigm shift to happen.
For some people, traveling to India seems danuting. But it is not. We make it very easy to come to India. Our friend Garima will assist you all through your journey and help you find a good place to stay. And she will answer any questions you have and help you get settled here with anything you may need.
We will be holding 2 Freedom Intensives in August 2023. They are 10 days long each. We will also be holding Freedom Meetings in between the intensives for you who have joined an intensive. These will be a few hours a day to continue being together in freedom.
You can join one, two or all three intensives. Spending the full two month season here at Aruncahala with Sal, Bindu and friends can be a hugely transformative time.
Videos
We will also be making available videos of the intensives for people who are not be able to travel here. They will be available to stream on our web portal. They will not be live streamed, but available shortly after each session. People who do attend in person will also be able to access them. You will also be able to email questions for Sal to answer.
There are no Covid requirments to enter India - no PCR test, no proof of vaccine, no online form. And getting a 5-year mulitple entry E-Visa is simple, online.
We will help make your trip easy. We help with accommodations, taxis, restuarants, visa info, money exchange and anything else you may need.
STEPHAN GOES TO TIRU
Our beautiful friend Stephan created an amazing video of his trip to Tiruvannamalai, India and the intensive. He is a world class photojournalist, and his images and story are wonderful. If you want to know about Tiruvannamalai, and really feel that you are here, watch this video.
I accompanied his sharing and images with my music and also some great Indian music. I hope you enjoy!!
I hope to meet you here, you will have "a lifetime experience", as Stephan says.

"A seeker came to Tiruvannamalai. He had heard about “the end of the spiritual path“ on which he had been more or less lustwalking for decades now. Somehow he had enough, and so he set out to meet Salvatore Poe. As it turned out, the best decision of his life. The seeker was me. And I'm not looking anymore. Sal could really show it to me! Inside me. Where it has been all along, waiting to be found. My heart is overflowing with joy, with love and also gratitude. I was allowed to understand. And I was ready to meet Sal. What a privilege and what a gift! The incredible energy of Arunachala supports immensely in the process of understanding. It was my first time in India and everything was so lovingly organized by Sal. Garima, the contact person for all questions regarding accommodation, stay, way of life here in Tiruvannamalai, made me feel at home. Bindu’s breathwork is an inner adventure and a great enrichment. I met such beautiful, valuable people in the ten days at Sal‘s rooftop. Meanwhile I am back home in the deep winter in Austria's mountains. And my heart is still overflowing with love and joy and gratitude and jubilation. Free. What can be more beautiful than knowing who you are. Thank you Sal for showing and sharing!" Love, Stephan
"Just to say a big THANK YOU for your work! The intensive has been a fantastic journey for me! I don’t know if you remember my words at the beginning of the intensive: “it could not be any better “ and you replied to me: “ it will get better” ! You were absolutely RIGHT! I am ready for the play of Lila because I know that I am.
So grateful! Thank you again!" Love , Jean-Yves

Freedom Meetings
After this first intensive, there will be a 2-day break, and then we will meet daily and casually for spending time in freedom. We can have Q&A sessions and discussions to clear up doubts and become more reconciled in freedom, or just hang out. Bindu and I are also happy to meet people occasionally for lunch or dinner.
