A Spiritual Living Retreat

“Always remember this: seclusion is the price of greatness. In this tremendously busy life, unless you are often by yourself, you can never succeed. Walk in silence; go about your rightful duties quietly; ] develop spirituality. We should not allow noise and sensory activities to tear down the ladder of our inner attention.” -Paramahansa Yogananda

Let the footsteps of silence gently enter the temple of all your activities. Embrace the opportunity to immerse yourself in the energy of the new year. In the peaceful atmosphere of Song of the Morning Ranch, surrounded by the winter stillness, allow yourself, through silent reflection, meditation, hatha yoga practice, guided introspection and journaling to prepare for a meaningful 2025.
