RESIDENTIAL COURSE: Retreat for New Kriyabans
Editions
Choose a specific edition for more informationDescription
I pursued you over the luminescent astral sea where the glorious angels sail…
Patiently, month after month, year after year,
I have watched over you, waiting for this perfect day.”
There are some events that happen only once in a lifetime: our birth and ultimately our passing; graduation from school; our wedding day; the birth of the first child.
On the path of Self-realization there is one outstanding milestone: our first Kriya Initiation. Although you will eventually attend many Kriya initiations, the first one is unique. It is so unlike any other experience in life that you want to bring to it the best possible state of awareness and receptivity.
As Yogananda wrote: “This can wait and that can wait, but my search for God cannot wait.”
The Kriya initiation will be on 4 January, the eve of Yogananda's birthday. You have the option to stay through breakfast on 6 January, for an additional cost.

Opportunity
Next time you come to Ananda, sign up for the program Yoga in Action to get a taste of community service and receive a discount on the cost of the course. You can choose the option Yoga in Action for any course where this program is available and you can continue with this option as long as you wish. Your service project might change each day.
When we learn to serve with the right attitude, this is a spiritual practice and is called Karma Yoga. The daily practice of Karma Yoga is a joyful and practical spiritual discipline that will benefit every aspect of your life.
At Ananda, there are two levels of the Yoga in Action option:
Yoga in Action Level 1
75€/course of 5 days
With Level 1, you will serve for a period of one and a half hours. This experience gives you a chance to contribute to the beautiful atmosphere of Ananda.
Yoga in Action Level 2
35€/course of 5 days
Yoga in Action Level 2 is only available if you have had prior experience of the Yoga in Action Level 1 option, or any of the Community Living Programs. With Level 2, you will serve for a period of three hours, split into two periods of daily service.
How to Register for This Program
In the page of the course you want to participate to, you will find, if available, the special price of the course with Yoga in action level 1 and 2. When you sign-up on the website or call or write us to book the course, just indicate that you wish to participate to the Yoga in Action Level 1 or 2 program. It’s that easy.
