Spiritual Retreats
“My time at The Expanding Light was truly the most uplifting and reassuring time in my life.”
– D.D., Hokianga, New Zealand
The programs are widely varied in their topics and approaches, yet they all come from discovering a center of calmness within yourself and learning to apply that creatively to any aspect of your life. All classes are based on the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda.
