Birthday Celebration Retreat

Thank you all for the birthday wishes and blessings. What a truly wonderful and memorable day and weekend it was.

I chose for this birthday to expand my experience and spiritual awareness by attending a retreat at the Ananda Sangha in Nevada City, Ca. The retreat center is called The Expanding Light at Ananda Village It was a truly inspired journey, which in retrospect, I had no idea was in store for me.

Have you ever been somewhere that seems so familiar, like you have been there before? Each face looks like an old friend you haven't seen for a long, long time, but you can't quite place them? This is how it was for me.

The weekend was spent in spiritual practice, called Sadhana, which is a combination of energization exercises, yoga postures, chanting, prayer, and meditation. I attended the "First Timers" session, which included a tour of the village and grounds, background lecture of the history of Ananda Village, and a class on meditation. The food was vegetarian, and was amazingly delicious. Everything about the weekend was extraordinary and wonderful. I came back fully charged, revitalized, and restored.
