Meditation Retreats

I wanted to offer a 'special thanks' for your care, concern and Love for us all. Where else does one go to consider things like forgiveness, generosity, virtue, reflection on what constitutes a meaningful life? It is a rare experience (and I am witnessing it being a treasured one) to see what might really be going on, that we don’t know, and that might just raise enough consciousness to allow for Love to prevail...not the body/mind. 'Tis a fine, fine thing you do for us. Just wanted to express my gratitude and Love. ~ Alfrieda, CA

THE LIGHT OF TONE

July 11-14, 2024 – Carmel, CA

Siraj will take us into a new and different experience. In this Retreat, we will delve into TONES combined with slow breath patterns that will bring the diligent and sincere student into a new inner significance. It is in this significance that we begin our process of AWAKENING. There will be gestalt offerings for the sake of understanding the inner posture required of a person who is persevering their energies for the sake of Transcendence.

If you are planning to be with us, it is important that you are with Siraj at Workshops in May. In these important offerings, Siraj offers insights that will be important for each student to consider for Retreats.
