Divine Love Retreat

Join Vedaji and the Connecticut sangha for our annual winter gathering at the beautiful Mercy by the Sea grounds over Valentine's Day weekend. In this weekend retreat, Vedaji will guide us during interactive sessions meant to open our hearts to the Divine love inside and in others. Topics will include what it means to be in a spiritual vs. material relationship, why it is important to love others and ourselves unconditionally, and how we can honor and value ourselves, as only in doing this are we able to see the Divinity in and love others unconditionally.

This retreat will include yoga asana classes, meditation, breathwork to remove toxicity from relationships, free time to enjoy the beautiful grounds and reflect, time to connect with our loving sangha (spiritual community), and of course, kirtan (musical mantra experience). It will be a smaller, more intimate retreat than our July 2024 retreat at the same location.
