Weekend Retreat: Understanding Addiction
Friday, April 14, 2023 @ (PDT) 4:00 PM – Sunday, April 16, 2023 @ (PDT) 3:30 PM PDT
IN PERSON OR ONLINE
Yoga says the root of all disease is spiritual. We forget our true nature. Addiction expert Durga Leela teaches the 12 steps in conjunction with Ayurveda—considering crimes against wisdom. Take time to develop your inner resource. Therapies that engage the senses are effective. Ultimately, this, too, shall pass.
