To Heart Song Retreat

Nestled in the peaceful and scenic Lake Stevens area, Heart Song Retreat is managed by Ananda Washington. Our intention is to share the teachings and vibration of our guru, Paramhansa Yogananda, and his disciple, Swami Kriyananda, through programs, retreats, gatherings, and service opportunities at this lovely, park-like property.  

"I never realized there was a place whose very atmosphere could speak so much of God's presence.

Set in a beautiful walkable setting of tall trees and towering sky, Serenity Cottage is like a jewel. The cottage itself has state of the art kitchen, a cozy fireplace and a comfy bed. I Iived the truth of Yogananda's words, "Environment is stronger than will."
