“Change yourself and you have done your part in changing the world.”

—Paramhansa Yogananda

It is a noble and worthwhile goal to cultivate unshakeable inner peace. Peace is the still point between conflicting energies, and when we have that stillness within, we can respond to negativity with kindness, ignorance with understanding, and hatred with love. We can choose happiness under all circumstances. The world needs warriors of peace.

This meditation retreat is an opportunity to learn about harmonious living and how to choose higher consciousness in thought, word, and deed. There is a wellspring of peace within each one of us that awaits our discovery. By turning our minds in the right direction, we can live in greater harmony and happiness, and be channels of blessings to all.

This weekend includes:

  • Guidance in the ancient meditation technique taught by Paramhansa Yogananda
  • Tools to help you live in peace amidst all that life brings
  • A prayer technique to share light, peace, and harmony with others and
    the world
  • Affirmations by Swami Kriyananda to change your consciousness and rewire your brain 
  • Ananda Yoga and Energization Exercises to help harmonize and upwardly direct your energy at will
  • Group sharing and connection to unite our individual intentions into a powerful collective force of love

“The only way to establish peace on earth is for people everywhere to be peaceful first in themselves.” Swami Kriyananda
