“The true goal of life is God. God is the only true happiness; the only true love; the only true security—and the only true freedom.” Paramhansa Yogananda
A Weekend Retreat of Yoga, Meditation, and Superconscious Living
Inspired by the Teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda
Happiness is not something we acquire—it is a state of soul awareness. In this joyful and practical weekend retreat, discover how to live from the superconscious level of your being, where true happiness resides.
Based on Yogananda’s beloved book How to Be Happy All the Time, this retreat offers experiential tools to help you bring uplifted energy and divine joy into every part of life—your meditations, your yoga practice, your relationships, and your daily attitude.
Through guided meditation, energization, asanas, and spiritual discussion, learn how to align with the inner source of ever-new joy and carry it with you into the world.
