Divine Healing Retreat

A Spiritual Living Retreat

“The healing power of Spirit is flowing through all the cells of my body. I am made of the one universal God-substance.”

~Paramahansa Yogananda

This retreat shares many of the timeless practices introduced by Paramahansa Yogananda, along with some newer ones that can be used daily to stay healthy, manage stress, face challenges and daily tasks, develop positive attitudes and meaningful friendships, and celebrate life more fully. You will be shown practical tools to help you navigate today’s world with greater ease and balance.

You will experience yoga classes that emphasize the effects of the postures on both the physical and spiritual aspects of your being. You will learn the reasons and procedures for chanting, prayer, and meditation to help you focus on your worldly tasks while also lifting your consciousness to the Divine to connect with guidance and clarity from a higher power. You will explore nature around the beautiful 800 acre retreat in ways that help you tune in to the natural world, listen to and feel the forest and the river, and express yourself through a poem that comes with amazing ease. Many other techniques will be introduced, including shaking and dancing to release tension and trauma, journaling to tune in to your feelings, and exploring your body’s inner knowledge by seeking answers within through your mind and through your pen. The power of breath and affirmations will also be explored.

The program will be facilitated by Drs. Will and Wendy Page-Echols, recently retired Integrative Family Medicine physicians and lifetime yoga and meditation practitioners.
