October 15-17, 2026
(Thursday Evening - Saturday Afternoon)

This retreat is open to those who have formally entered into discipleship on this path. If you have not yet formally requested a meeting and been accepted as a disciple, you are welcome to attend the Kriya Yoga Meditation Retreat in June.

"Having learned this immortal yoga sadhana, I re-established it with a wish of spreading it to each and every house, so people will tread this path to ultimate liberation. The impact of Kriya opens the door to the soul temple."
–Sri Lahiri Mahasaya

With discipleship, we evolve from being a seeker of the way to being one who has found a path of spiritually awakened living and the disciplined life it requires. We embark upon this journey with hope and faith, discovering its riches as love and grace lead us on. 
This retreat offers teachings, practices, and inspiration from Kriya Yoga masters and their disciples for remaining steadfast on the path, living in the highest way, and fully embracing the opportunity of a lifetime.

Included in the retreat:

• Teachings on the purpose, practices, requirements, pitfalls, and blessings of discipleship
  
• Essential Kriya Yoga meditation practices for disciples
  
• Spacious schedule for immersion in meditation, contemplation, and strategies for healthy living

During this retreat, Yogacharya will focus on teachings from the life of Sri Lahiri Mahasaya, affectionately known as the “Father of Kriya Yoga.” She will also share stories and teachings from her forty years with her Guru, Roy Eugene Davis, a direct disciple of Paramahansa Yogananda. With her guidance, and inspiration from other disciples, learn how to attune your consciousness to the gurus in the lineage and benefit from their lives and presence.
