On the sacred night of Maha Shivaratri, our spiritual practices are especially powerful due to the rare planetary alignments. The weakened influence of the moon allows the mind to quieten, creating a unique opportunity to deepen meditation, prayer, and inner transformation. By offering all negativity and limitations to Lord Shiva—the divine purifier—we open ourselves to the flow of Divine Grace.
Join us for this men’s retreat at the Ananda Heart Song Hermitage near Lake Stevens. With walks and hikes we’ll explore the beauty of the mountains outside, and, through meditation and sharing, take steps to ascend our personal inner mountain of spiritual growth.
