Ananda Seva invites you to our International Summer Retreat at the beautiful Isis Oasis Retreat Center. This Year we will focus on spiritual practices.
This will be an internal time in which, through meditation, yoga and sincere discussions with friends, we will have opportunity to reflect upon our lives and focus our intentions for the emerging year. Through discussion groups we will explore how to enhance positivity and well being, as well as deepen our realization of the Divine, by our personal and collective attitudes and actions. This retreat is open to both advanced meditators and those new to yogic practices.
The Retreat Schedule includes:
- Opportunity to live the Yogic Lifestyle for Four full Days!
- Meditation and Kirtan Four times Daily
- Intuitive Yogic Discourses for deepening Spirit
- Daily Yoga Asana Classes
- Free time for hiking, swimming or time with friends
- Inspirational Music filled Evenings
- Individual Meditation Instruction
- Sadhana Shivir (Long Meditation and Kiirtans)
- Delicious Vegetarian Meals
If you are new to meditation and in need of a meditation practice, please let us know and one of our meditation instructors can help you. We do not charge for teaching meditation practices as we feel it is the birthright of every person to have full opportunity to know the Self.
About the Retreat Site
A magical sanctuary in the wine country where vines and the flowing river blend harmoniously to create colorful imagery through-out the seasons. Once a Pomo Indian ceremonial ground, then a Bahai'School whose principle philosophy is global unity, it is now a sanctuary that provides an extraordinary environment for body, mind and spirit. Our ten acres of lush foliage include a 500-year-old fir tree as a centerpiece, a swan pond, waterfalls, an aviary of exotic birds, animals and endangered felines. A sauna, sparkling pool and spa set within a secluded garden enhance your special time of rest and relaxation. Our meditation temple will add a sense of the sacred during your visit.
