Inner Peace – Inner Power

06-14-2013 - 06-16-2013

Inner Peace – Inner Power through Raja Yoga Meditation

The most important journey you can take is the journey within. This is a journey to the truth of who you really are.

Learn Raja Yoga, a practical and simple form of meditation and spiritual understanding that sets the foundation for ongoing spiritual development. It is about discovering, exploring and understanding one’s inner world of thoughts, feelings, attitudes, values, and intentions and developing the spiritual skills / inner strength to face the realities of the outer world. It is the art of bringing inner and outer realities into balance starting from the inside out. Becoming more aware of your internal environment enables you to check, choose and change. You will start to develop a sense of mastery as you recognize the inner resources that you have and your ability and responsibility to use them to create a better quality of life.

You will learn to see the self as a soul … a spiritual being and experience a direct connection and relationship with the Supreme Source of purest energy and highest consciousness. Every soul has a right to experience this ultimate relationship.

GETTING AHEAD IN THE KARMA GAME

07-19-2013 - 07-21-2013

   This retreat is for those who want to do a deep dive into the subject of karma and how it affects our spiritual efforts at this time. It will take up some big questions: Can we avoid the suffering for our past actions? Can we change our destiny through our present actions? Where does God fit into the picture? Without clarifying answers to questions like these, it is possible to lose hope in the fundamental goodness of human nature and the benevolence of God.

Our intention in this retreat is to tune into the signals from the current times and events in order to understand the subtleties of our individual karma and to change the pattern of our collective karma. ('Karma' in Hindi simply means action.) The retreat will aim to help in this process through an interesting blend of conversations, presentations, personal stories, meditation, and conscious activities

SPIRIT MOVES BODY

07-26-2013 - 07-28-2013

It is often perceived as extremely challenging to integrate spirituality into everyday life, and even to truly recognize the value of doing so. By experiencing tangibly the effect a shift in awareness can have on a simple act of movement, it becomes easier to ‘see’ the impact a spiritual approach can have in all areas of one’s life. This unique retreat integrates the teachings of Raja Yoga with various movement disciplines to promote the ideal state for movement: one that is free of tension, open, aligned, and alive. The result?

True, sustainable well-being.  Join us as we explore, experience, and empower the innate capacities of body and soul.

The Healing Power of Meditation

08-02-2013 - 08-04-2013

The essence of meditation is a natural experience of healing … the call of
spirit to the peace within. We all have a need for such healing – if we are
honest and look at our own life, we would likely recognize pain, suffering
and darkness in certain areas of our day-to-day living. The deepest repair
to our being is where meditation gives us its greatest gift: the realization
of who we are. With this comes freedom. The ultimate destination of
meditation is the freedom to be the spirit that we truly are.

In this retreat, we will work with the energy of virtues combined with the
power of meditation in order to return to our natural state of total well-being.

Creating a Life of Purpose

08-02-2013 - 08-04-2013

In facing the demands of a world marked by rapid change and upheaval, we can so easily lose our sense of ‘being’ in the survival strategies of ‘doing.’ In order to create inner stability, it is absolutely essential at this time to know the self and our intrinsic value. We are not glorified machines, but wondrous and unique beings capable of immense beauty and goodness.

Through the teachings of Raja Yoga, discover a way to honor yourself and others by staying real and royal while facing the challenges of day-to-day situations and interactions. Recommended for those who are interested in deepening their understanding of how they can truly fulfill their spiritual purpose.

Results:  The most frequent themes noted by educators implementing Living Values Education are positive changes in teacher-student relationships and in student-student relationships both inside and outside the classroom.  Educators note an increase in respect, caring, cooperation, motivation, and the ability to solve peer conflicts on the part of the students.  Aggressive behaviors decline as positive social skills and respect increase.  LVEP helps educators create safe, caring, values-based atmospheres for quality learning.  Young people learn to use the language of values to reflect on challenges and generate positive solutions.

MY COURAGE, YOUR COURAGE

08-23-2013 - 08-25-2013

A retreat for women who want to live with heart and soul and head aligned, with their active hope for the world engaged and sparkling!

You will arrive into a gathering where women can express freedom and solidarity and beauty and strength. There will be conversations, meditations, experiences and interactions that transform your experience of yourself and your capacity to be authentic, compassionate and brave.

Courage comes from the medieval Old French word corage, meaning “heart and spirit.” Courage can take the shape of a flower in a kaleidoscope; we will discover so many facets, colors and forms. In courage there is constant determination to make choices according to our values, to be resilient in the face of inner and outer challenges. Using the power to face, power to discern, power to decide, the power of blessings and trust in ourselves, we will create inner changes that ripple gently outward to whatever matters most to us.  

All are welcome to apply, but priority may be given to those who have not yet participated in a women's retreat at Peace Village. Our intention is for the group to be smaller and focused on practical self transformation that empowers our daily lives. Those interested can click the register button, and by doing so they will be acknowledging that they are applying to attend and may be contacted for more information before decisions are thoughtfully made, so please be patient during the process.

INNER SPACE – OUTER SPACE

10-18-2013 - 10-20-2013

Still wondering why certain people and situations seem to make you feel like
avoiding them? Our life is a continuous exchange of energy with people,
situations, matter, and last but not least, with ourselves. Depending on the
quality of that energy – good, bad, and everything in between, we will find
ourselves attracted or repelled. This weekend invites us to reflect on some
of these different patterns of interaction, as this can provide insights on how
to feel more in harmony. We’ll discover inner laws and powers, which when
used as a mirror, can guide us towards our aim of feeling good. Through
creative activities, sharing, games, and reflective exercises, we’ll reconnect
with forgotten inner truths that can be very beneficial when remembered and
used in our outer space.

‘SILENCE’ - THE SOUND OF SILENCE

11-08-2013 - 11-10-2013

In the silent corridors of the soul I can understand the hearts of others, I can understand myself.
Silence is not an idle act. Silence is a hidden Spiritual Power. When we immerse ourselves in silence we gain inner strength and healing emotionally, mentally, intellectually and spiritually. Silence is not only Golden…but it makes you, a diamond within the gold.

Most of us feel uncomfortable when we are silent and with others. We may feel that others will value us more if we’re talkative. Of course, this is the furthest from the truth. Explore what it feels like to be in Silence while with others and still feeling your own self-confidence, dignity, and self worth.

In Silence we touch a part of our inner core that is perfect and pure, a place that is nourishment to the soul. Silence becomes a breath of fresh air to our inner being.

As you increase your experience of silence, the power you accumulate can help those without power to continue in their efforts of self-development and the experience of peace.

During the retreat there will be a brief class each morning to help guide you into the depth of silence so you can experience the most benefit. There are also group activities in silence, silent walks, mandalas, and karma yoga or lending a helping hand. silence, silent walks, mandalas, and karma yoga or lending a helping hand.
