"Change yourself, and you have done your part in changing the world."Paramhansa Yogananda
The New Year brings an opportunity to begin our lives anew. Paramhansa Yogananda has given us teachings that will help us make changes in ourselves that bring deep inner peace and joy. When we change ourselves from within, our outer world becomes harmonious and beautiful.
In This Retreat You’ll Experience:
- Deep meditation techniques from Paramhansa Yogananda
- Ananda Yoga Postures to awaken and direct your energy
- Affirmations to strengthen your highest potential
- Chanting and Prayer to awaken the heart to the divine presence
- Quiet time to relax and reflect
- A peaceful retreat environment filled with community, support, and inspiration
- The weekend ends with a fire ceremony where we cast into the flames our old habits and desires to make room for new positive goals.
This experience is designed to transform your consciousness and open your heart to life. Founding members of Ananda, Nayaswamis Haridas and Roma, will guide this transfomative weekend.
