12 Days of Christmas 2025-2026
With Clear Light Community
Flexible Dates
December 24 to January 5
Find the Peace of the Holidays at Song of the Morning Yoga Retreat
Song of the Morning is a place of exquisite peace and beauty during the holiday season, and the perfect place for those feeling pulled inward into spiritual reflection. Experience the peace and joy of the season embraced by a warm and welcoming community celebrating and honoring the spiritual energy within the 12 days from Jesus Christ’s to Paramahansa Yogananda’s birthday. We warmly invite you to join us for whichever of the 12 days you wish! Simply select which dates you wish to attend during registration.
Homemade vegetarian meals will be offered to guests daily during this stretch of celebratory days which includes Brunch and Dinner. A variety of items are provided in each accommodation building, including oatmeal packets, fresh fruit, coffee, tea, and snack bars. (Please plan on bringing your own food to supplement if you need more than what our two daily mealtimes offer.)
Guests will also be invited to join in daily meditation practice and other offerings such as a hatha yoga class, guided journaling program or group walks. There are many opportunities to come and be in stillness and quiet, and of course, our Shrine Trails are always available for a wintry hike or ski.
The weekend before New Year’s will be the next installment in our Fellowship With Yogacharya series.
