A Spiritual Living Retreat 

“Harmony with nature will bring you a happiness known to few city dwellers.”

– Paramahansa Yogananda

This retreat is designed for young people and the young at heart who need to UNPLUG! We are all constantly connected to technology – but what we really long for is connection with ourselves, others, and nature. This will be a time to power down the cell phone, unplug, and reconnect with the land!  

We will be encouraging participants to spend as much time as possible with the sacred earth through camping (indoors accommodations is also an option!), a guided foraging walk, an experiential introduction to permaculture class with hands-on workshop on composting, harvesting veggies from our organic garden to make into farm-to-table meals, evening campfires and share circle, and time to play in the beautiful waters of the Pigeon River! Join us for a fun weekend to unplug and reconnect.

Selfless Service

Everyone who signs up for the retreat will select a way to pitch in during the weekend, such as setting tables, washing dishes, or chopping vegetables, as a way to more fully experience life in community.

Spiritual Community

Song of the Morning is much more than just a retreat center – it is an intentional spiritual community! On the property is our Clear Light Community, which was founded under the vision of Paramahansa Yogananda for “plain living and high thinking.” Yoganandaji emphasized the power of coming together in shared spiritual practices and values to uplift individuals and society as a whole. He envisioned these communities as models for a future where people could live in harmony and cooperation, ultimately contributing to a more just and unified world. 

The schedule includes joining our community in group meditations and yoga – all friendly for beginners or long-time yogis alike –  and Song of the Morning’s weekly Self Realization Fellowship (SRF) Sunday Service and Fellowship Dinner. You are welcome to learn more about this yogic tradition before you arrive, but it isn’t required as we provide guidance along the way!

Registration Details: Prices are all inclusive and show rates for your camping/lodging for two nights, meals for the entire weekend, and access to all retreat programs.
