Audience at Amphitheatre

Join Swami Kriyananda and the Ananda Community in our annual week of Spiritual Renewal, the highlight of Ananda’s summer for the past 40 years. With this year’s theme, “The Age of Energy — Accelerating Planetary and Personal Evolution,” we’ll learn how to harmonize our own energies with the transformative energy of the planet right now.

We’re living in a time of great confusion on many levels, but when rightly understood, it is a time to make tremendous spiritual progress. This week will be a launching point for greater depth and focus in your spiritual life for years to come.

Spiritual Renewal Week is more than classes: it is 7 days of inspiration and spiritual transformation, through daily yoga and meditation, devotional chanting, inspirational music and theater, fellowship with like-minded seekers, fascinating classes and discussions, and vibrations of great peace and spiritual joy.

During the week, there will be special classes for those preparing for Kriya initiation. For information on these classes, please contact kriyayoga2@ananda.org..
