Awakening the Divine Warrior Within
With Marilyn Beker, Kendra Hubbarth-Bohr and Michael Sullivan
March 27 - 29, 2026
A Spiritual Living Retreat
Paramahansa Yogananda teaches that “life on earth is a constant series of battles between good and evil. It is the duty of every human being to be a spiritual warrior against delusion. “
Life often presents us with difficult challenges, large and small. This retreat offers specific yoga techniques to help you face those challenges with confidence and strength so you can better fight the battle of life and emerge victorious.
Through specific Hatha yoga exercises designed to remind you of your body’s potential, through mental exercises where you will learn to erase thoughts of defeat, fear and worry and through guided communion with our natural soothing and healing forest environment, you will find inspiration and affirm your inner power.
When you do that, as Paramahansa Yogananda says,” you will no longer passively succumb to the soul-stultifying influence of the worldly environment” but will rise above it and overcome.”
“To him that overcometh, I will give the morning star.” Revelation 2:28
