Raja Yoga Meditation
Raja Yoga is at the core of what we teach. It is an ancient spiritual discipline that can be used for relaxing, refreshing, and clearing the mind and heart. It provides us with the knowledge and practice needed to strengthen ourselves from the inside out.
Silence, Simplicity, and Service
Silence is a natural state of being, however we are typically out of practice. Retreat participants gain the experience of silence in many of the retreats. Every retreat provides insight to create a life of simplicity. By participating in Karma Yoga, you will experience service as part of your transformational process.
Facilitators
