"The radiant purity of my spiritual essence of being
illumines my mind and my consciousness."
—Roy Eugene Davis

Join other women on the path of spiritual awakening for a nourishing weekend of reflection, connection, and renewal. Together we will gather in a supportive and sacred space to remember and experience our radiant essence of being—our innate spiritual power.

This retreat offers time for:

  • Guided meditation
  • Inspired learning and reflection
  • Meaningful spiritual activities
  • Deepening spiritual community with other women

Come as you are, and allow yourself to be supported, uplifted, and renewed through shared practice and presence.

Rev. Ann Sarasvati Hayes, M. Div., has been teaching and leading classes and retreats in the Kriya Yoga tradition for over 20 years. Under the guidance of her teacher, Yogacharya O’Brian, she also serves as an Associate Minister, a Meditation Teacher, and a faculty member of Meru Institute at Center for Spiritual Enlightenment. Along with her husband, Rev. Jeff Collins, she is the co-founder of  Kriya Yoga Meditation Group in Santa Rosa, California.

Rev. Ann offers Spiritual Direction and officiates sacred ceremonies, bringing a compassionate and grounded presence to her work. A retired Registered Nurse, she has served as a hospice volunteer, integrating contemplative practice with deep listening, care, and service at an important transitional time in a person’s life.
