Seminar Hall
The beautiful octagonal seminar hall is situated in the magical garden of the Maha Maya land. The walls are open upwards, so that a light breeze flows through the hall. The quiet surrounding and the magical garden accompany your deep meditation with beautiful birdsongs. Deep inner peace becomes a great experience here, because here you can trustfully go on a journey to your inner self.
Working with your retreat members is wonderful in the seminar hall. It offers everything you wish for: yoga mats, seat cushions, yoga blocks, blankets, sound installation.
Temple
The temple is situated at the energetic most interesting point of Maha Maya land. It is dedicated to Sanatan Dharma, the origin of all religions.
When we worship Durga and the form of Haidakhandeshvari Ma, we worship the Mother of Creation.
Just like a mother who welcomes all their children, the temple welcomes people from around the globe with different denominations to meditate
May the love of creation become aware to all people entering the temple. May this love lead you to your highest self.

Packages / Prices
The Maha Maya Center of Consciousness is placed in security in a quiet place of mother nature. The magical garden invites you to calm down, it unites silence and vitality.
An ideal place to focus why you came there. To really profit from your journey there, means to focus completely on yourself and the life that you are. During the retreat breaks you can easily go for a walk or enjoy bicycling.
But of course you will want to enjoy Kerala during your stay, maybe the Indian ocean, the famous, wonderful backwaters, the animals of Kerala or similar.
To make these experiences possible, we organize some nice packages for you, to provide an additional program for your retreat. Meditating at the selected places, like Munar or Ezattumukham, will be energetically interesting for sure!
House boat cruise through the backwaters
The relaxing houseboat trip leads you to the backwaters of Alleppey. Either you choose a simple Shikkara or – if you want to have it more convenient – an airconditioned house boat. You cruise through lakes, small rivers and canals and enjoy the incredible nature and the original villages along the shore. A very relaxing and peaceful trip, that will definitely be an experience. While gently floating over the water you can unwind your soul and the beautiful touching landscape, the simplicity of the villages, will whip a smile on your face, that anchors deep in your heart.
Ezhattumukham Park and Malayattoor hill church
Ezhattumukham is the river which lies in the banks of Chalakkudy river in Trissur district. At one point, the river gets by the islets and boulders into seven flowing streams, and that is how Ezhattumugham (seven faces of a river) gets its name. During the non-monsoon months the river bed is under the sea level. This enables us to perceive the very special enery there.
There is a 210-meter long suspension bridge built across the chalakkudy river. This bridge provides the panoramic view of the Athirappally forest.
After visiting Ezattumukham, there is direct access to Malayattoor church which is located in 609-meter-high hill. It is also a Pilgrim centre. And will be captured beautiful view from the top of hill. We would be happy to see wild elephants from there 😊
If you want we can expand our trip to visit the river Paniyelipporu with its cristal clear water. Resting by sitting on the banks of the river surrounded by dense trees is a unique experience. The sweet, melodious sound of birds, the bustling sound of water waves opens our heart and lets our mind calm down. And maybe we also have the chance to see wild elephants here.
