Honoring the Divine Life of Paramahansa Yogananda
With Naren K. Schreiner
March 5 - 8, 2020
In celebration of the 100th Anniversary of Paramahansa Yogananda’s arrival to America in 1920, this weekend retreat immersion will take place during the master’s “mahasamadhi”, or divine passing from the body (March 7th).
Drawing inspiration and guidance from his teachings and divine life, we will dive deep in meditation, chanting and devotional ceremonies in the beautiful and sacred land of Song of the Morning, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary–as one of Sri Yogananda’s world brotherhood yoga communities.
Prices listed during the registration process will include $150 program fee, meals, and accommodations.
