Would you like to experience the peace and joy that diving into the silence can give? How about realizing you can meditate longer and enjoy it more? How about making time for reading spiritual books and listening to inspirational messages that you can’t seem to get to?

Most importantly Paramhansa Yogananda counseled, “Seclusion is the price to greatness.” Most religions worldwide indicate that seclusion is a key practice in the lives of the saints and seekers. 

In this class we will explore:

  • Signs indicating a need for seclusion
  • Pitfalls that can detract from a good seclusion
  • When, where and how long do we seclude?
  • What do we do in seclusion?
  • Develop a checklist of items to bring (and not bring) for seclusion.
  • Plan a sample short and longer seclusion, based on your circumstances.

Whether you have done a seclusion before or if you are considering taking one for the first time, come for inspiration and practical suggestions.

A delicious vegetarian lunch will be included.

Instructors

Nayaswami Nivritti

Nivritti is an Ananda Lightbearer and has meditated for the last 41 years and has taken at least one seclusion every year since.

Her experience has varied over the years, and as she have come to learn, each seclusion holds a special gift, and no one seclusion is better than another.

Divine Mother gives us what is needed at that particular time.

Nayaswami Carole

Carole is a Lightbearer and has been a member of Ananda for 38 years.

Over this time she has come to know and more deeply appreciate the benefits of seclusion and to enjoy this quality time with the Divine.
