Weekend Retreat: Swami Sitaramananda on Yoga and Self-Healing
Friday, August 2, 2024 – Sunday, August 4, 2024 PDT
IN PERSON OR ONLINE
Lacking spiritual health and spiritual connection causes us to feel unsupported and separate, thus creating negative mental habits, impressions and aggravations that lead to more stress and strain. This stress shows up in the physical body as disease, forgetfulness of our true nature as spirit. Spiritual health brings freedom from the cycle of suffering brought on by wrong identification with the limited self.
We hope you can join us for this special retreat. Take time for yourself.
