Spirituality and Nature Weekend – (with an introduction to Divine Will Healing)

If you’re not satisfied with the “trivial preoccupations” in your daily life, or are hungering for wisdom, a sense of meaning or deeper purpose in life, or just a short break, we invite you to come for a short but relaxing weekend away from the noise and stress of city life.
This 28 hour program, from Saturday morning through Sunday lunch, will include:

• Relaxation in a serene, beautiful and natural environment.
• Guided yoga and meditation sessions to help you recharge your mind, body and spirit.
• A deeply rejuvenating and invigourating walking meditation in the Sahyadri hills.

All mankind has an inner yearning for meaning, fulfillment, and above all happiness, yet many of us are unable to find these qualities in our daily lives. The various scriptures of the world tell us that true and lasting happiness can only be found in the Divine, yet many of us are so busy honouring our commitments that we have no time left to take steps in this direction. And when we finally manage make time to pursue these things, we find that we are not sure how to proceed, or we are not advanced enough to deeply connect with the Divine.

This short weekend is designed to help and guide you in taking these steps, with time for both inward and outward explorations. The inward steps are based on the guidance and techniques of the great Master of Yoga, Paramhansa Yogananda, author of the renowned book Autobiography of a Yogi. These teachings will help you connect to the Divine joy and peace within you. The outward steps will help you to deepen your awareness and enhance your enjoyment of the natural world, all around us.

In addition to the above aspects to help you relax and connect with the Divine, this weekend will also focus on one aspect of the Wisdom teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda. This weekend’s focus will be on healing for emotional, mental, physical issues as taught by Yogananda.
We will cover:

• The process of creation as explained by PY, how we have applied this to create our issues and how to undo them
• Understanding Divine Will Healing and learning to apply it for healing ourselves and others
• The power of prayer in healing
• Guidelines to be followed if you choose to practice healing
• Actual exercises will be carried out to give participants an opportunity to practice the techniques

This retreat is open and welcoming to all regardless of age, beliefs or religious background.
