Farm Getaway and Spiritual Retreat with Devamrita Swami

There is a thin line between having too many choices and having none at all – yet we could feel lost in the cosmos either way. In the pursuit of a meaningful life, is “meaning” something I piece together, my own personal jigsaw puzzle? Or is there a deeper purpose to my life and this universe I am a part of?
In pursuit of the answer to this question, join us for a journey of self-discovery with world-traveling monk Devamrita Swami. We might sometimes feel that the universe is calling us in an unlimited number of directions, confusing our determination of which path to take – so come for the opportunity to take a fresh look at your choices through the lens of ancient yoga wisdom presented by Devamrita Swami. You never know what you might find!
Enjoy morning meditations, engaging workshops, delicious meals and the beauty of a natural environment that is sure to soothe the soul and inspire deep thinking. We hope you can make it!

About Gita Nagari: An abode of scenic beauty and peaceful souls will be our home for 2-days. Set in the scenic Tuscarora Valley, framed by mountain ridges and a bubbling creek, Gita Nagari is home to joyful volunteers, a herd of peaceful cows/oxen, and a carefree flock of about 40 peacocks. With 350 acres of rolling green hay fields, pastures, and diverse woods, the farm focuses on engaging in compassionate farming, a directive which guides all its activities. The only USDA certified ahimsa (nonviolent) farm in the United States, Gita Nagari is a working example of how sustainability, compassionate living and spirituality are inseparable components of a holistic life.
