Sweet retreat, an oasis where you can find peace for the soul, joy for your spirit, love for your heart..
Ananda is based on the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda, author of the spiritual classic Autobiography of a Yogi.
His teachings emphasize direct inner experience of God, which he called Self-realization.
We are camped out at the retreat center, doing yoga and meditation, eating delicous vegetarian meals in community, enjoying daily talks about self development, parenting, working with children and ourselves and also playing in the river and venturing to nearby lakes and taking in the incredible nature all around.
There are deer running all about, hawks, frogs, fish, squirrels, hummingbirds and many birds i can't name. There are 25 or so families and about 10 of them came from Taiwan and barely speak any english, so we have been enjoying hearing the interpreter at our sessions. The kids are playing games, doing art and soaking up all the uplifting energy from the forest, gardens and trees.
