Helping people find direction,
fulfillment, and inner peace
How to Know and Trust
Your Inner Guidance
Ananda Yoga and Meditation Retreat
with Gyandev & Diksha McCord
May 23–26, 2008 • Willard, Wisconsin
Look for the truth within yourself. Those who have searched within have found amazing truths. You must develop your intuition, and then you will see.
— Paramhansa Yogananda
Join us and learn to develop the full potential of your intuition, or inner guidance. It’s invaluable for success in every area of your life: relationships, work, problem-solving, health, creativity, and above all, spiritual growth. Intuition is your living link with the highest wisdom and truth.
You’ll Learn How to ...
- Break free of habits and attitudes that block your intuition
- Attract guidance at will, rather than just hoping for it
- Use your intuition to solve the practical problems of everyday life
- Enhance your creativity
- Know true guidance from false guidance
- Live in the flow of superconsciousness, the source of all intuition
- Apply intuition to the ultimate goal of Yoga: knowing God
You’ll gain power and direction in this process through an array of effective yoga techniques, especially Ananda Yoga® (postures and breathing practices), meditation, visualization and affirmation—all from the rich teachings of the great yoga master, Paramhansa Yogananda, and his direct disciple, Swami Kriyananda, the founder of Ananda.
We welcome students of all levels of experience. Come dive into the power and practicality of your own soul-intuition during this highly experiential weekend.
Your Weekend Experience
You’ll enjoy a full schedule of activities, plus delicious vegetarian meals from Diksha’s cookbooks, and a lovely, peaceful setting: The Christine Center (just east of Eau Claire, Wisconsin). See right for a tentative schedule.
