Pacific Northwest Retreat

Feb 14, 2014 3:30pm to Feb 17, 2014 12:00pm (ended)

Shared Joy

Leaving our daily lives behind, the winter retreat offers all of Amma's Pacific Northwest devotees a time to come together in meditation, song and prayer. Surrounded by nature at beautiful Camp Pringle there will be opportunities to refresh meditation techniques, share Amma stories, laugh and dance together and connect with one another in support of Amma's work. All are welcome.

This is a wonderful opportunity to spend time with one of Amma's senior disciples. Swami Dayamrita will lead a program at the retreat on Saturday, Feb. 15, 2014.

The following will be offered during the retreat: 

  • Morning archana and meditation - chanting of the 108 names of Amma and the 1000 names of Sri Lalita, Mahisasuramardini Stotram and guided IAM Meditation.
  • Evening: singing beautiful devotional songs (Bhajans) and Arati (waving the flame in a spirit of gratitude).
  • Forest walks.
  • Extended singing, chanting, and meditation sessions.
  • Spiritual Discussions.
  • Yoga classes.
  • Getting to know other devotees - sharing food, creativity, and fun!
