Based on the book How to Have Courage, Calmness, and Confidence:
Winner of the 2011 International Book Award for the Best Self-Help Book of the Year

Awaken the energy within you to meet every challenge with joyful confidence, calmness, and courage. You can live a victorious and harmonious life—make your choice each day, every moment, to embrace your noblest spiritual qualities.

Your weekend will be led by Willow Kushler, who is known and loved for her ability to work with a group wherever they currently are, and through classes, experiences, and discussion, to draw them to their highest potential. This 3-day weekend will include guided activities such as:

• Meditation
• Ways to use yoga postures to awaken inner strength
• Creative expression
• Affirmations
• Walks
• Group study and discussion
• Introspection
• And much more

You’ll also explore your current strengths and weaknesses, and discover misconceptions within you that give birth to worry, fear, and nervousness.

Free yourself from self-limiting attitudes, postures, and habit patterns and embrace soul-empowering strength. Walk away from this weekend recharged, and ready to meet and grow from whatever life sends you.

This weekend is based on the book How to Have Courage, Calmness, and Confidence by Paramhansa Yogananda. Each page of the book is alive with the wisdom and power to help you change your life. You will receive a copy of the book when you arrive.

Prices are all-inclusive and cover accommodations, meals, classes or activities, and course materials.

How to Have Courage, Calmness, and Confidence starts the afternoon of the first date listed. It’s ideal to arrive before 4 pm, if you are able to. That way, you can join in the afternoon session of yoga and meditation, which begins at 4:45 pm. Dinner is at 6:30. The first real gathering of your group is at 7:30 pm. If you need to arrive here after 5 pm, that’s fine, but it helps us if you let us know at 800-346-5350. We can also put aside a dinner for you if you need to arrive after 7 pm. The program ends with lunch on the last date. Please see our Daily Schedule.
