Heart Song Retreat
Heart Song Retreat’s intention is to host programs, mini-retreats, gatherings, and service opportunities at this lovely, park-like property. Purchased in May 2024, it is expected that the use of the property will evolve but will begin with activities offered to Ananda members and students.
The Heart Song property has three buildings. With the two-bedroom Serenity Cottage located behind Harmony House (the main building), there are opportunities for members and students to have a personal retreat separate from the organized activities. There are plans to construct a 30′ x 40′ yoga/meditation room which we are calling the “mandir” (a term for a place for devotion and yoga). The mandir will be built inside the large garage building located between Serenity and Harmony houses. We do not yet have an estimated completion date but there is a lovely, if smaller, meditation and yoga space in Harmony House for the time being. Both Harmony and Serenity are fully equipped with kitchen, bedrooms and living rooms.
Please see individual events for pricing. Sevaka and Sadhaka members may receive a discount on certain events, and sometimes an Early Bird Discount is offered for those who register early. Vegetarian meals are included for day and weekend retreats.
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."
