3-day weekend

There are no dates currently scheduled.

Discover and experience the principles behind Ananda, one of the world’s most successful intentional communities. If you’re interested in communities, join us! If you’re interested in making your life more harmonious and inspiring, join us!

This year, as we also celebrate the 40th anniversary of Ananda’s Education for Life Schools, you’ll learn about education for the whole person…education that can enrich your life at any age.

This weekend will effervesce with great fun, joy, and practical wisdom. We hope to have Swami Kriyananda heading the weekend. You’ll also enjoy the lively wisdom, stories, and humor from a panel of Ananda School teachers, graduates and parents, keynoted by Nitai Deranja, the founding director of the Ananda Schools.

Refresh your own education with extremely useful insights for students-of-life of any age! For example, how to:

• Relate sensitively to other people’s realities
