Relax
07/12/2008
Day Retreat
10:00 am - 5:00 pm
Creative day workshop to reconstruct a healthier and more relaxed lifestyle. Maximize your performance in today's fast paced world.
Fulfillment can only come when we keep the big picture in focus, accept that all that is happening has a reason or purpose, and learn to relax from within. Learning to relax sounds easy and should come naturally, but as we start this journey we quickly notice that to truly relax requires information, understanding and practice. This workshop throws light on the quintessential wisdom of learning, loving and leading your destiny towards fulfillment.
Facilitator: Janardhan Chodagam is a board-certified IT

He teaches meditation and leads workshops at the Brahma Kumaris center in San Francisco, as well as

Solving the Riddle of Love
10/03/2008 - 10/05/2008
Weekend Retreat with Prashant Kakoday, MD
October 3-5, Friday 6:00 pm to Sunday 4:00 pm
"Do
we lose love or does love lose us?
Why does love seem to come and go, rise and fall, flourish and fade?
In modern times, we are encouraged to keep going at all costs - rather than
allow much needed, inner healing to take its course. Explore the powers that
are the source of our well-being, powers that come from inside the self and are
of long term benefit: love, happiness, forgiveness, and silence. Unconditional
love opens new and unlimited horizons. Happiness helps us surmount the storms
and learn life's lessons. The power of forgiveness allows us to create anew.
Silence is simplicity - it creates solutions and is the way to the Divine.
In this retreat we will explore the huge benefits of
learning to be kind to myself. Topics covered; The four steps to self love;
Exploring what it is that blocks love; Experiencing my higher self and the
Source of Love and Creating healthy boundaries. There will be sharing on the
topics, conversations, writing, reflection, meditation, creative expression and
lots of fun.
Facilitator: Dr. Prashant has spent the last 15 years understanding and teaching holistic principles of life, health and consciousness. He is the Director of the Center for Integral Health in Cambridge, UK
