GUIDED SECLUSION RETREAT
SATURDAY, AUGUST 10, 8:00AM - 12:00PM
What Is Seclusion?
Seclusion means spending time alone and in silence, and dedicating that time to deepening our spiritual lives. If we don‘t take time to deepen our spiritual lives, then our spiritual lives won‘t be as deep and fulfilling as they could be.
“When we are too much around others, too much involved and identified with our work and family, we lose sight of the innate greatness of our soul (and that of others!). Most people on this planet have never been alone for more than a short time. The opportunity for seclusion is a privilege and a grace”

“Free from the hopes engendered by desire,
and untouched by any craving for possession,
the waves of feeling in his heart controlled by yoga concentration,
the yogi, retiring alone to a quiet place,
should try to unite his little self with the Supreme Self.
—Bhagavad Gita, 6:10
