"You don't get harmony when everyone sings the same note"

That's what awaits you here at Creacon Lodge Prema Agni Retreat Centre, harmony. It's the harmony that is created by giving the opportunity to yourself to be yourself. You can meet yourself here and be in harmony while simply being you. In a serene and loving atmosphere, you can tune in, tune-up, or simply sing your own sweet tune. You may find that a few days here can allow great transformations to take place within you that ripple outwards to your life and all who may be in it. Yet, a visit of a week or longer really allows you the chance to "tune out" for a bit from your daily distractions and see how much tv, radio, cel phones, internet, and such can effect and even increase that loud chatter in your head. This is easily replaced with the slight breezes that lift your spirit and the singing birds who love to share their songs while flittering by in the gardens and treetops.
