Join us for 5  extraordinary  days  of spiritual growth and  transformation as we inaugurate the Sat Yoga Ashram and Retreat Center   with the Sat Yoga community students   next July 29 , 2011!

In our first community retreat, we will explore the meaning of an ashram, of a retreat center, and of an eco-village, the possibilities open to community members to participate at different levels, and engage in the hands-on healing work of karma yoga. But most of all, we will sit together to melt into our divine inner Self through being Injoy! in deep meditation. We will also explore the natural environment of Arunachala, in meditative walks on the land, in the sacred forests and to special energy vortexes on the lovely and holy River Gangaji. The retreat will provide ample opportunity for solitude as well as group activity.

In order to make our retreats accessible to people with less financial means, we are implementing a contribution structure on a sliding scale.  This will allow people with low budgets to still be able to attend and those with greater financial means to help sustain the Ashram and sponsor those who can't afford the regular tuition.  We appreciate your mindfulness and generosity in choosing the category that best applies to your resources. Whatever you can give to the Ashram helps assure the success of our whole project. Since we are operating on a "shoestring" budget, we need to make income from these retreats even to be able to offer more retreats.
 
Benefactor Contribution:  $600.00
General Contribution: $450.00
Low-Income Contribution:  $300.00*
 
*Extra Karma Yoga duties may be assigned to low-income contribution retreatants.
 
The retreat price includes meals at the Ashram, snacks, accommodations in shared rooms and shared bathrooms, meditations, teachings, asana classes, surprise transformational activities, karma yoga and nature walks. Transportation is not included but we will be organizing carpooling for those who are interested. 
 
In order to reserve your space, please give a deposit  of $150 to Sat or Purusha as soon as possible. Final payment is due Thursday, July 21st.
