About the Gratitude Retreat
Everything is about perspective. In this retreat, you will learn how to deepen gratitude through spiritual practices and shifts in awareness. Get inspired by thoughtful talks from Amma's senior disciples in North America.
Spiritual practices include: Archana, Satsang, Guided Meditation, Walking Meditation, Bhajans, Gardening, Puja Class and a Bhagavati Seva Puja. -
Benefits
Spiritual practices override our mental conditionings and patterns and produce positive tendencies in our conscious and subconscious mind.
They increase the positive vibrations in the body, mind and even the surrounding environment.
All spiritual practices have the ultimate goal of quieting the mind. -
How Does it Work?
The retreat is designed so you can have an experience similar to those who take the retreat conducted live, in a single day. You can also split it up and enjoy each part separately, at your convenience.
You have the videos for 30 days to watch and replay in any way you like.
Invoke an Attitude of Gratitude
Swami Dayamritananda Puri, Swami Shantamritananda Puri, and Br. Ramanandamrita Chaitanya lead an all-day pre-recorded virtual retreat that you can take in the comfort of your home in a single day, or throughout the month at your convenience. They will guide us in expressing gratitude for gifts in our lives and lead us in praying for world peace. Activities include chanting, walking meditation, devotional singing, gardening, a puja class, satsang, and guided meditation.
The retreat concludes with a very special Bhagavati Seva Puja recorded in Amritapuri!
