The struggle to overcome suffering and attain lasting and meaningful happiness is characteristic of the human condition. True spirituality addresses this quest and claims a deep solution is possible. One of the most ancient, rational, and inspiring forms of spirituality is Advaita Vedanta—which holds that peace and fulfillment are our very nature and found through self-knowledge.
Swami Sarvapriyananda teaches that God alone is the all-pervading reality and the individual soul is none other than that same reality, based on selected verses from Shankara's classic text Vivekachudamani. During this retreat, the approach will be experience-based knowledge as we:
- Learn the essence of nondual philosophy through a classic root text
- Study and practice the method of self-inquiry, "Who am I?"
- Experience the foundational practices that energize our spiritual lives and to manifest nonduality
Return home with a deeper understanding of our spiritual nature; the ability to manifest spirituality in daily life resulting in calmness; skill in navigating life challenges; growing strength of mind and character; and a lasting sense of deep meaningfulness and freedom.
