Yoga and Vedanta Retreat
The Yoga and Vedanta Retreat is primarily based on the teachings of our beloved Amma Satguru Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi.
"Advaita (non-duality) is the state in which there is only One. It is the state in which you spontaneously see everyone as being the same as Self. It is not something you talk about; it is a state to be experienced."— Amma

Retreat Features
Most of us don't know ourselves. We live only on the surface—male/female, likes/dislikes.
We think we are our personality, but we are much more than that: pure Spirit.
Vedanta provides practical steps to uncover the inner Self or pure Consciousness.
Handout
Participants will receive handouts on the Basics of Vedanta.
