Silent Monastic retreat 2023

CLICK TO REGISTER

October 27-29, 2023

All rooms are currently SOLD OUT. Commuter packages are still available. Please see our registration page to register for a commuter package.


We invite you all to join us in this blessed weekend of surrender and attunement with God and Gurus at a weekend retreat led by monastics from Self-Realization Fellowship (SRF), who have dedicated their lives to the works of our beloved Guru, Paramahansa Yogananda.  


A group retreat offers members the opportunity to withdraw temporarily from the many activities and pressures of daily life and to come together to fully dedicate a day or two to practicing the presence of God, spiritual study, and relaxing physically and mentally through deep meditation. The united concentration and devotion of the group reinforces each individual’s endeavors to develop a more  personal relationship with God. Through one-pointed spiritual effort, each member  can attain greater attunement with God and guru, and experience deep calmness and joy. Many who have participated in SRF retreats, either in California or as part of the monastic tours, have experienced similar results. 


The  guidelines for participants include, attending the entire retreat and maintaining silence throughout. This serves to enhance one’s own experience of calmness and serenity and safe-guard those of other participants.

We sincerely and humbly appreciate any donation amount.

The spiritually deep man lives day and night in a castle of interior silence into which neither menacing worries nor even the crash of colliding worlds can intrude. The more you are in silence the more happiness you will find.
