On 27th August 2026 there has been an inspiration to start a 1 year course and I am implementing it. I have been in the field of guiding students for their inner transformation for the last 31 years. I have been anchoring Beyond Schooling initiatives for last 12 years. I aspire to train more teachers, counsellors, facilitators and parents who work with children in the 6th to 12th grades in schools on this method. The inner transformation of the students should be true and detailed. It needs to touch their body, senses, emotions, words and thoughts. The transformation needs to be real and thus it needs to be governed by their Inner Guide and Higher Consciousness. This is what this course will explore, so that we can all make a change in our world. Brochure will be shared soon.
The course is titled: Guiding the Children of Tomorrow
It will be primarily online – Tuesdays 8pm to 9 pm IST.
The course will run from Jan 5th 2027 till December 28 2027
To me, working on the basics is what is truly important. When the foundations of our inner being are set right, everything else unfolds naturally through sadhana and surrender.
In the Delight Matrix retreat, we explore the transformation of all parts of our being. We also work towards the harmonization of these parts so they can support one another and function as one integrated whole. Alongside this, we learn to open each part of our being to the Divinity Centers — the Inner Divinity within the Cave of the Heart and the Higher Consciousness above the head. This allows us to walk a path of integration, where inner work and outer life become one movement, over a period of time.
The eight parts of our being brought into sadhana (inner practices) are:
Physical
Senses
Dynamic Energy
Emotions
Objective Mind
Idea Force
Integrative Mind
Deeper Self
It is a labour of love where each part of our being is seen, tuned, purified, opened, and aligned with its deeper truth.
Delight Matrix Residential Retreat
Harmonizing our Inner Being
19th to 22nd November 2026
Thursday 10:00 am to Sunday 2:00 pm IST
Venue: Sharanam, Sri Aurobindo Society
(Near Ousteri lake, the main water body of Puducherry)
In this retreat, we engage in guided individual sadhana, where each participant works directly with the eight parts of their being. Through awareness, breath, and subtle inner contact, each part is touched, tuned, and brought to its best possible state at this moment in your journey. Practices are chosen through intuition and synchronicity, allowing your inner being to guide what it needs next.
In every practice, we learn how to connect two parts of our being and then link them to our Divinity Centers — the Inner Divinity in the Cave of the Heart and the Higher Consciousness above. We stay with each part until it reaches its fullness, balance, and natural harmony point, where it can integrate with the other parts. This creates a lived experience of inner alignment, where transformation, harmony, and delight begin to emerge as one unified movement, over our life time.
I was in a flight on 4th September travelling to Bengaluru for a summit and I was thinking about the next Sunday online course that I would be offering. I was also reading a book of Sri Aurobindo. And then the clarity poured in for this course.
I think the book on Deeper Body Work (Integral Sadhana – it’s Body’s Turn Now) is now leading us into new horizons.
The new course is
*Love Embodied*
Receptive Cells connecting with Evolving Earth
It is a Online workshop
8 Sundays | 7 to 8 am IST
October 4th to December 6th 2026
Facilitator: Arul Dev
This course is for current and new practitioners of Deeper Body Work.
It touches inner work on the cells of our body and our Mother Earth. It will lend itself as participating in our individual and collective transformation. It also includes sadhana with flowers and crystals – two major catalysts in the transformation of our body and earth.
Our next residential retreat. 22nd to 25th October 2026. @ Sharanam, Puducherry
Every second we have the choice to take a New path of transformation or slip into entanglements. To change our inner being a detailed sadhana is needed within our thoughts, emotion, energy, sensation and body. Our subtle substance has a greater capacity for surrender and receptivity for Higher Consciousness. The retreat illumines these practices. Brochure enclosed.
(Near Ousteri lake, the main water body of Puducherry)
For Whom?
This retreat is for anyone who chooses to dedicate three days to inner practice, to discover:
depth of true substance within the body
natural flow of breath, will, and consciousness
process of transforming thoughts, emotions, energy, sensations, and the body itself
Whether you walk the path of Healing, Meditation, Mysticism, Somatic work, Conscious Breathwork, Tantra, Bhakti, Nāda Yoga, Raj Yoga, Kriya Yoga or Cellular transformation this retreat deepens your practice by helping you integrate the essence of your own paths with the body’s substance. Many seekers explore powerful traditions — yet the transformation remains partial until the body becomes the ground of sadhana.
Deeper Body Work
The practice of the deeper body work has three key ingredients. First it is the art of journeying within the substance of our body. Second is the Grace of being within Source. Third is the joyful waiting with double concentration in a posture of Surrender. When we do this trifold sadhana several experiences have been unfolding for practitioners.
The retreat is on 22nd to 25th October 2026. @ Sharanam, Puducherry and brochure is enclosed.
Discover your niche and mastery in coaching, guiding, mentoring and people development
11th September, 11 am to 13th September 2026, 4 pm IST
Venue: School of Ancient Wisdom, Bangalore
Facilitator: Arul Dev
We will exclusively work with 8 to 12 participants
In coaching, mentoring, or guiding people through inner development, you may be a beginner or already advanced. Yet one thing remains essential for deeper fulfilment in this noble profession: discovering your own niche — the unique offering that arises from your essence, and the specific clientele who benefit the most from your presence and coaching.
This begins with uncovering and living your essence — that inner centre which brings you alive, anchors you, and keeps you connected to something higher. In this retreat, a circle of 8 to 12 participants are held in a space designed for this discovery and embodiment.
From this essence, you then shape your own model and frameworks — integrating the practices, pathways, and depth-work you have travelled. These personalised models give you flexibility and clarity, enabling you to adapt your offering to different kinds of clients while staying true to who you are and what you are discovering.
Coaching with Ease offers the space, guidance, and depth for you to discover your essence, refine your niche, and evolve your own integrated coaching model.
