Forest-Hermitage-Retreats-1Join us for monthly retreats at the Ananda Forest Hermitage. Spend time in the beauty of nature while going deep into the inner life and the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda. Each month we will explore a different topic.

Here are some testimonials from yesterday’s retreat day, “Deepening Your Spiritual Practices”:

“Retreat time at the Forrest Hermitage is an extraordinary experience which uplifts your spirit and well-being, so much needed in our daily lives. Thank you again!!!!” CS

“Attending this retreat at the Forest Hermitage was a spiritual peak experience for me. The experience truly deepened my connection to God by being in the most beautiful natural setting and the teachings deepened my meditation and devotional experience with God.

The bonding and comradeship with the other attendees were also profound. I felt I had bonded with “soul brothers and soul sisters”. I felt so much love for the delicious food and the teachings that were presented.

I plan to attend every month’s spiritual retreat.” AL

“The Forest Hermitage is a magical place for all of us. The retreats are a wonderful day of self-help, camaraderie, meeting new friends, and service. Plus, I just love being out in Nature!!” -LG
