Once you realize yourself as a soul, you will know you are Spirit, resting everywhere equally in joy, in all space, in all things. A body, mind, and soul rehcarged with good food, sunrays, wisdom, and bliss, becomes a spiritual magnet drawing to it spiritual and material blessings.
-Paramhansa Yogananda, Divine Will Healing
This weekend will be unlike anything you’ve experienced—deeply healing and a return to inner serenity and rejuvenation.
Mary Kretzmann, director of Ananda’s Healing Ministry, will guide you into physical, mental, and spiritual aliveness—using nature’s healing energy and water therapy, as well as Paramhansa Yogananda’s techniques for spiritual healing.
Your retreat includes:
- Guided experience of Paramhansa Yogananda’s techniques for sharing healing with others and for yourself
- An evening of Restorative Yoga, during which the body is totally relaxed, using blankets to support it in positions that release old tensions. Perfect to do right before sleep.
- Guided affirmations and meditation, as well as a gentle “Affirmation Walk”
- A nurturing foot soak
- An inspirational purification ceremony near Lotus Lake
- Guided activities in nature to draw energy from the earth, the forest, and the sun
- A special session of guided yoga postures starting at 4:45 pm on Thursday afternoon, to start your midweek retreat with especially relaxed energy
By the end of your program you will be glowing with renewed vitality and heightened spirituality.
And, please consider giving yourself a real vacation: Arrive a day early to enjoy a Personal Retreat (at 10% discount), then take the scheduled Relax and Heal program, and end with another night of Personal Retreat (at 10% discount). If you choose this option, you will also receive a class in How to Meditate and a personal prescription for aromatherapy.
We look forward to guiding you in a well-deserved vacation!
