New Year’s Silent Retreat: Seek the Light Within

“You are not given the light by anyone—not even by a spiritual teacher. You are that light.” — Swami Satchidananda

In a world of many distractions and difficulties, where do you look for guidance? Look within yourself. The serenity of silence and the practices of Integral Yoga, including pranayama (yogic breathing), meditation, Hatha Yoga, and talks on yogic philosophy, will help you to realize the guiding light already within you.

Join us for the New Year’s Silent Retreat to gather the spiritual wisdom and strength needed to face day-to-day surprises with the guidance of your own inner light. This retreat offers support to handle all of life’s challenges.

• Silence to experience inner and outer peace and tranquility
• Instruction in pranayama (yogic breathing techniques), meditation, and Hatha Yoga for focus and rejuvenation
• Delicious, vegetarian meals for health and well-being
• Opportunities to absorb the teachings through talks given by Integral Yoga senior practitioners, ministers, and swamis (monastics)
• Remember, this time away from the demands of daily life is intended to invite deep reflection and help you to make inspiring goals for 2020!
