“Devotional chanting purifies the heart and mind until only God remains.”
—Yogacharya Ellen Grace O'Brian
“The whole purpose of true exercise is to awaken the inner source of energy which we have ignored throughout our lives.”
—Paramahansa Yogananda
Our days can be dominated by many demands, challenges and environments that deplete our inner resources and distract us from our spiritual path. Nourish your body and mind through the gift of time spent in chanting and Hatha Yoga to support meditation. Touch the Divine within and find the restorative energy of practice. The retreat begins Friday evening with chanting and meditation, and continues on Saturday with more chanting, gentle Hatha Yoga, and time to connect in community.
This retreat includes:
- Chanting, Meditation and Contemplation
- Gentle Hatha Yoga supported by live chanting
- Journaling, Sharing and Reflection
Pre-registration required. Includes lunch on Saturday.
