A space that is safe, light, deep and alive

Trained as a scientist and now an entrepreneur, Naren has spent over two decades exploring Zen, Vedanta, and other mystical traditions such as Sufism in a deep inquiry into awareness and what it means to live from the heart. Along the way, he has discovered that bringing harmony to both inner being and outer achievement can profoundly reshape the way we live.

He has trained in self-inquiry with Ananta Garg, as a teacher of Presence with Eckhart Tolle, and in Sound Journeys with Svetlana Kaivalya at Shantika Sanctuary.

His sessions weave together contemplative practices, music, art, movement and honest human conversation to cultivate a more centered way of living — grounded in awareness, yet creative, dynamic, and fully engaged with life.

Bhutan became a second home fifteen years ago, and he now brings seekers and dreamers to this extraordinary land that has profoundly shaped his own journey.

A seasoned entrepreneur and leadership and mental conditioning coach, Suraj explores how ancient wisdom helps us navigate uncertainty, complexity, and rapid change. Through conversations with entrepreneurs, leaders, and seekers navigating transition, he learns what it means to find peace within chaos and discomfort.

He facilitates retreats grounded in a philosophy of no attachment, no identity, no fixed way of life, and an experimental mode of learning. He has facilitated retreats across several countries on themes of conscious living and resilience, all emerging from deep gratitude for the wisdom of those he walks alongside.

Suraj's sessions bring a sense of directness and applicability to modern life.

Sid is a singer-songwriter from Kolkata and a founding member of the band Trio Tattva. His relationship with music has never been defined by performance alone. For him, music is a contemplative practice — a way of creating spaces where people can slow down, reflect, and reconnect with themselves.

Rooted in the tradition of devotional wisdom, his work explores the meeting point of music, presence, and inner transformation. Through melody, silence, and heartfelt expression, he invites listeners into moments of stillness where the mind softens and something deeper can be experienced.

At The Gateless Gate, Sid brings live music, chanting, and shared musical experiences that gently open the heart and create a sense of connection, presence, and quiet joy.
