AVNĪ
9 months · Ojai retreat included
A premium, executive-level private immersion for a very small number of people, with a personal retreat in Ojai as part of the nine-month arc.
Private training · 3 or 6 months

For people who want sustained one-to-one mentorship without the full nine-month AVNĪ immersion, private training is available in three- or six-month containers.
The length is matched to the work in front of you: a three-month season for a focused question or transition, or six months for a longer arc of practice, change, and integration.
These are distinct from AVNĪ. The nine-month immersion is the highest-investment, most executive-level offering and includes the personal Ojai retreat. The shorter containers are separately scoped around your needs and intention.

Some transformations cannot be rushed. They are not the result of a weekend retreat, a stack of books, or a handful of breakthrough experiences. They unfold through sustained practice, honest investigation and a trusted relationship that develops over time.
AVNĪ is Harshada Wagner's most intimate and substantial offering, a nine-month foundational private mentoring immersion for individuals seeking profound personal, spiritual, and creative transformation.
Nine months is long enough to gestate a human life or re-invent one.
AVNĪ is named for avanī अवनी, a Sanskrit word meaning Earth, the ground that supports all life. The immersion is built on the understanding that lasting transformation begins by changing the ground from which life is lived.
Inside AVNĪ
AVNĪ is not a life coaching program. It is not therapy, consulting, or executive performance training. It is a modern spiritual training rooted in the wisdom of yoga, contemplative practice, embodied awareness, and direct experience.
Every participant arrives with a unique history, temperament, and aspiration. Rather than following a standardized curriculum, the immersion unfolds organically, responding to the realities of each person's life and practice.
Who it is for
Many arrive after achieving success externally while recognizing that something essential remains unresolved internally. Others come because a profound spiritual opening, personal loss, or creative transition has changed the trajectory of their lives and they want experienced guidance as they move forward.

The work
For nine months, Harshada becomes a consistent guide and companion in the unfolding process. The work may include meditation, spiritual practice, relationships, vocation, leadership, embodiment, creativity, devotion, emotional healing, or the integration of awakening experiences.
No two AVNĪ programs are alike. The emphasis is always on cultivating clarity, resilience, authenticity, and a direct relationship with what is most deeply true.
“The goodness, the transformation, the healing, the new paradigm is there in you. The work is learning how to grow it inside until it's time to bring it out into your life and into the world.”
What AVNĪ includes
Weekly private sessions
60–90 minute private sessions each week, creating space for meditation, inquiry, dialogue, and personalized practice. Sessions are on Zoom, phone, or in person.
Ongoing access
Direct voice and text support with Harshada between sessions for questions, challenges, and integration on WhatsApp.
Personal Ojai retreat
A private, in-person retreat in Ojai, California, included within the nine-month immersion and offering uninterrupted time for practice, conversation, walking meditation, shared meals, and deeper exploration.
Astrological consultation
An in-depth reading providing insight into timing, life themes, strengths, and developmental opportunities from a trusted astrologer.
Ayurvedic support
Access to Harshada's trusted Ayurvedic physician for consultation and holistic support.
Embodiment practice
Access to Adriana Rizzolo's weekly Body Temple classes, supporting the integration of meditation with movement, emotional intelligence, and lived experience. Private consults with Adriana as needed.
Complete digital library
Full access to Harshada's online courses, guided meditations, recordings, and teachings throughout the immersion.

Included in AVNĪ
Ojai, CA is located about 90 minutes outside of Los Angeles. It's a popular destination for people seeking healing and transformation.
The Ojai retreat is not an add-on or a separate event. It is part of the nine-month AVNĪ immersion: dedicated time to step out of the usual rhythm, practice in person, and let the work land in the body and in daily life.
This in-person immersion gives the relationship another dimension—space for quiet, conversation, movement, shared meals, and the kind of attention that is difficult to create at a distance.
Harshada
Harshada Wagner has spent more than thirty years teaching meditation and inner yoga to thousands of students throughout the world. His work draws from the Mahāyoga streams of the Nātha tradition, particularly the teachings associated with Jñāneśwar Mahārāj and Bhagawān Nityānanda, while remaining accessible to people from diverse spiritual backgrounds.
He has worked with people from all walks of life, including CEOs, directors, successful actors, recording artists, and founders. Known for his warmth, humor, and directness, he combines contemplative depth with practical guidance, helping students integrate profound spiritual principles into ordinary life.

A different kind of relationship
The most meaningful transformations rarely happen in isolation. They emerge through practice, consistency, accountability, and the presence of someone who can see what is possible before it becomes visible.
AVNĪ offers that relationship. A place to establish new ground, deepen practice, and build a life rooted in what is most real.
What people are saying
“Working with Harshada was a profound life and soul affirming experience. He helped me find my way through a moment where I was at a crossroads on my spiritual path, and in my growth as a mother (quite literally—I was pregnant with my second child). The work we did together enabled me to connect the dots between various practices and ways of accessing truth, love and the divine. I was free to feel mySELF outside of the shackles of certain rigid ways of approaching my sādhana. The aftermath of our work together has been me finding my own voice as a teacher, mentor and space holder—inspired and empowered by the kind, intuitive, warm and incisive Harshada.”
“Grateful. This is the word that resonates with me after my Turning Point Retreat with David (Harshada). I am grateful in so many ways that I decided to take the chance on myself of wanting to make a new direction in my life, and grateful that David was the one to help me steer my ship. He was able to take all of the thoughts, hopes and dreams in my self and make a clear path to achieve them with hard work, dedication and practice. His insightfulness and years of experience welcome you into being a new student. Ojai was truly filled with grace and wonder. It was the perfect cornerstone to recapitulate my self.”
“Private Training with David has been an incredibly life altering experience for me. I experienced profound transformation on my path with him. He has helped bring my spiritual practice into all aspects of life, which changed the game, brought me into my body and allowed me to experience a deeper relationship to goddess / source / everything. I am now a fuller, more expressive me in relationships, professionally and with my children. Not to mention just all around happier and more fulfilled. There is no area in my life that hasn’t been positively impacted through working with David. I am so grateful and continue to look forward to more opportunities to learn with him.”
“My Private training with Harshada has been life changing and I'm not exaggerating. David helped me explore all that has been holding me back from doing what I truly knew what I wanted to with my life. With his guidance I was able to unleash the creativity and energy into a new project that has fueled my passion in life. His deep knowledge of the ancient Tantric texts mixed with his modern day approach is so impactful and applicable. I thank David for this incredible season of life I'm experiencing. If you're thinking about training with him, just do it.”
“Working with Harshada I felt deeply seen, held and affirmed in my power. David has a way of teasing out the little bullshit stories we tell ourselves in order to stay comfortable; you know, the ones that are actually just prolonging our suffering? He works strategically but with the sweetness and gentleness. He worked efficiently (sometimes fiercely) to hold me to my dharma, yet somehow it always felt like a kind chat with a friend. While carrying some serious wisdom teachings and having given himself wholeheartedly to his path, David is totally unpretentious and practical in the way he serves.”
