        "You are an immortal, spiritual being; live as you are meant to live." 
          — Roy Eugene Davis

In these turbulent and uncertain times, the need to anchor ourselves in inner steadiness has never been greater. When the world around us feels chaotic, the ability to live with clarity, calm, and spiritual strength arises from attunement to the unbounded vital energy within us.

Join Acharya Sundari Jensen and CSE Teachers for a rejuvenating spring retreat designed to help you reclaim your inner balance and awaken the transformative power of prana—the life force that sustains and enlivens both body and mind.

Through timeless teachings and restorative practices, we will explore how to enhance our experience of vital force through practical experiences of:

• Superconscious Meditation
  
• Devotional Chanting
  
• Gentle Hatha Yoga
  
• Inspiration and Teachings on How Awakening Prana can Support us to Remain Calm Amidst the Crashing Worlds

This retreat will support you in living with purpose, enthusiasm, and deep spiritual connection by practicing superconscious meditation and cultivating awareness of the energy that moves through you and all the universe. Learn practical tools for spiritually conscious living that foster resilience, vitality, and joy—no matter what the outer conditions may be.
