The Sacred Nights

Open to the New

Kundalini Yoga Transformation Retreat

with Satyavrati Yogi and Prem Jot

DeC 27, 2026 – Jan 3, 2027 at Le Martinet

A new time • A new rhythm • A new cycle

Between Christmas and Epiphany, the Rauhnächte, Sacred Nights, have traditionally been a time of retreat, reflection and transition.

We enter this powerful threshold not simply to look back at the year, but to rebirth ourselves into the year ahead. 

The days before New Year’s Eve are a deep personal journey. Through powerful practices from Kundalini Yoga, rebirthing and Holotropic Breathwork, meditation, conscious reflection and ritual, we gradually move beyond the familiar.

We go to the edge. To the places where old structures, beliefs, identities and attachments still hold us. Not to fight them. But to become willing to let them go.

We release the old.
We face what has shaped us but no longer needs to define us.

We move through the threshold.
Through breath, movement, energy and awareness, we enter the unknown space between who we have been and who we are becoming.

We rebirth.
As the old begins to dissolve, we create space for something new to emerge.

We receive the vision.
From this new inner space, we listen for the deeper impulse of the year ahead and allow our intuition to reveal a new direction.

We create the path forward.
We translate this vision into clear intentions and an action plan—so that what was experienced within can become embodied in our lives.

And then comes the moment of crossing the threshold together.

New Year’s Eve

We celebrate the death of the old and the birth of the new with our soul family and like-minded people. 

A night of joy, connection, music, laughter and a spectacular seven-course dinner, created and shared at Le Martinet.

After going so deeply within, we come together to celebrate life. Because rebirth is not only something to experience. It is something to celebrate.

The Sacred Nights are a doorway.

A time to leave behind what no longer serves you.
A time to come to the edge.
A time to surrender the old.
A time to open to the unknown.
A time to receive the vision of what wants to be born through you.

Let go.
 Cross the threshold.
 Rebirth.
 Receive the vision.
 Step into the new cycle.

Retreat mentors

Satyavrati Karta

Karta studied with Yogi Bhajan, the source of Kundalini Yoga, and also served as a board member in his institution for 30 years. He is a spiritual mentor, healer, and the founder/head of the Amrit Nam Sarovar School (ANS). Karta has trained over 1000 teachers/trainers in Kundalini Yoga and self-awakening. After 40 years travelling the planet and teaching Kundalini Yoga, Karta finally settled down at Le Martinet in the French Alps in 2020, in the place he began developing 20 years ago. He considers Le Martinet a signpost that welcomes people looking for a spiritual home. People living for each other, beyond borders, beliefs and religions. It is a journey to becoming fully human. Together with Prem Jot, Karta developed the Le Martinet Residential Retreat Program.

Prem Jot

Prem’s life is interwoven with beauty and creativity. As a fashion designer, she was a pioneer of Upcycling and became recognized worldwide. Her collections pushed the boundaries of art and fashion. For years, she led creative retreats for participants learning to explore and experience their work holistically, opening their inner channels to allow creativity to flow again. Prem is a Kundalini Yoga teacher trained by Gurmukh and Gurushabd, and is also educated in energetic healing and meditation by Mari Nil. Alongside the physical practice, her Kundalini Yoga classes are also focused on meditative and healing aspects. Prem’s Yoga classes are a flowing interplay of movement, sound, power and stillness, and are supported by the current of love. The fusion of Kundalini Yoga with sound makes the classes a holistic experience.
