“Discovering and Experiencing EFL’s Value for the School of Life”
A weekend workshop based on Swami Kriyananda’s Education for Life system.
Unique in both theme and format, this retreat will offer many new insights for yourself — and about children you may relate to — for getting through the “school of life” in which we are all students irrespective of age.
Individuals, families, and children are welcome. Some activities will be just for the youngsters, including music, movement, nature games, treks, stories, drama, and arts and crafts.
Come for a truly expansive weekend at our lovely retreat centre in the heart of nature. At this season, the weather is usually very pleasant and our tables filled with fresh organic produce from our new organic vegetable garden and fruit trees.
