Glimpse of Enlightenment Retreat

Awaken the Infinite Within Are you ready to embark on a transformative journey that combines the ancient wisdom of Vedānta with the empowering practices of Yoga? The Glimpse of Enlightenment Retreat offers you a unique opportunity to experience the harmony of body, mind, and spirit—a fleeting yet profound glimpse of the infinity that resides within you. What Is This Retreat About? This retreat is designed to lead you toward an experience of enlightenment, inspired by the timeless wisdom of sages like Shankara. Through a powerful combination of yoga asanas, pranayama, meditation, and Vedāntic knowledge, you will prepare your body-mind-sense complex to discover the infinite essence within yourself. ●       Yoga hones your body and mind, making you receptive to the subtler dimensions of your being. ●       Vedānta provides the wisdom to understand and connect with the infinity that you truly are. Together, these two paths offer a transformative experience—an opportunity to immerse in the essence of being and tap into the boundless joy of self-awareness.
