EVENTS
Join Deva Sophia Grace and Mirabai Moon on the Big Island of Hawaii for a powerful and transformative retreat. The Big Island, with its volcanic activity, embodies the energies of death and rebirth; expansion and growth. In this retreat, we will commune with the Hawaiian Goddess, Pele. Through shamanic experiences, movement, ceremony and sacred music, we will dive deep into Her fiery energy, releasing and transmuting the old, and igniting the passion and power within us to create ourselves anew.
***This is an intimate retreat and spaces are limited.

Be Still & Know Retreat with Swami Sankarananda
— —
Amethyst Retreat Center, 44 Buffalo Creek Rd., Duncannon, PA 17020
Please join us for a transformative three-day experience that stills the mind and settles matters of the heart. Deepen your experience of life through silence, meditation, chanting, yoga asana and the teachings of the great Yogis.
Swami Sankarananda will guide us through the majority of the retreat, sharing wisdom to inspire transcendence from living in fear, to living in peace & harmony. We will explore practices designed to help us re-discover the sacred silence within and to connect profoundly with our authentic selves. The wisdom teaching of Yoga and Yogic practices will help us to both experience and to sustain inner connection and awareness.
Why practice silence... Silence is peace. In a world that seems to become ever more complex and busy, it is important to take time to turn within and experience silence. There is no better cure for what ails us than to be silent, and yet we do not know how to be truly silent. To merely stop talking is not really to be silent. If one stops talking but the racing thoughts are there, it will cause heat and agitation in the mind. Yoga provides practical techniques for bringing silence and peace to the mind, which helps one reconnect with the true Self.
