Deepening into Presence
Through daily practice
New Dates
June 18 to June 25, 2011
This workshop is full! Contact Áine if you would like to attend!
I have changed the dates of the Retreat to accommodate an important family occasion in May. Since guidance is asking that the Retreat be aligned with one of the 8 major Celtic Festivals of the year it is now being held during the very powerful window of the Solstice Summer. This new date feels wonderfully expansive and sunny! The flowers will be starting to bloom in the Ananda garden by then!
Join me for a special 7 day retreat at the Expanding Light Retreat Center near Nevada City, California.
I will be holding a deep retreat at
the Expanding Light Center in the Sierra Nevadas during the powerful days of the Summer Solstice.
The new dates are evening of Sat. 18 June ( dinner) thru to the
morning of Sat. 25 June (lunch).
This is a call to go deep within and to spend time in a very beautiful setting away from normal daily life.
There will be a daily schedule.
6:40 am - *Yogoda Energization exercises outdoors when possible. (See end of message).
7 – 8 am - Guided and silent meditation in the beautiful
Lahiri Mandir
8:30 - Breakfast in silence
10-12:00 - Class
12:30 - Lunch
2:30 - 4:30 Afternoon group focus
Afternoons will include sharing within the group, silent
meditations in nature, and a visit to the original
Ananda Retreat Center ten miles away. This is a very special place, located far
up a gravel road, in among the Oak Trees. During this visit we will meditate in
the Temple and in Babaji’s Cave, a wonderful cave built to the Presence
of our Beloved Babaji.
6 pm - Dinner
8-9 pm - Guided and silent meditation in the
Lahiri Mandir
The purpose of the Retreat will be
to open to the next level of the Presence within.
It will be 6 full days of paced
attunement and study.
Two of the days will consist of
complete silence from before dinner to the following morning.
This is obviously not for everyone
– but for those who are interested in taking daily practice to this level there are 7 of 12 places still
available.
The Expanding Light Retreat Center
is based entirely upon the profound teachings of our Beloved Yoganandaji.
However, the center is open to everyone who wishes to come and experience the
beautiful atmosphere of peace and purity that has been very lovingly created
here over 40 years. Ananda is an intentional community, one of 8 such
communities in America, Italy and India. These communities are very successful and
thriving and for those of us interested in witnessing such a community this can
be very educational. We will be there as a visiting group with our own focus of
study.
The cost of the Celtic Fire Retreat
is $450 plus food and accommodation. Deposit of $100 must be received before 12 April to secure a place.
There are choices of accommodation.
These listed prices also include three vegetarian meals a day served in the Expanding Light restaurant. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Standard accommodations, whether cabins or Serenity House, all share bathrooms with other rooms.
"Shared" means sharing a cabin/room with one other person. Cabins use the shower house.
Deluxe rooms have their own bathrooms and are larger.
Please see Expanding Light Accommodation for more detailed info on rooms.
Camping: $59/night, 7 night stay = $ 413
Shared standard: $89/night, 7 night stay = $ 623
Private standard: $149/night, 7 night stay = $1,043
Shared deluxe: $129/night, 7 night stay = $ 903
Private deluxe: $209/night, 7 night stay = $1,463
Again these listed prices also include three beautifully prepared vegetarian meals each day. It is for each to make their own accommodation booking. I will work with the group to assist with room sharing where necessary.
There is a shuttle from the airport. Please inquire about this while booking accommodation if you are interested. It is expensive and so sharing would be a good idea. Otherwise you can rent a car at the airport if you are flying in. You can also find information about Transportation and Directions to Expanding Light here.
A $100 deposit is required to secure your place by 12 April. You can pay by check or
on my website. If paying thru the website a paypal surcharge will be added to costs.
(If you wish to pay by check I will email you my address).
Please email me BEFORE registering at info@celticfireandfaerie.com if you wish to attend. We will have a short telephone conversation to see if this experience is what you are looking for.
I look forward to hearing from those of you who are interested in this opportunity.

Again it is for each one to make their own reservation for accommodation with Expanding Light Center.

During the days of the retreat participants are encouraged to stay on location. All food will be vegetarian. No alcohol or smoking.
* Yogada exercises are a system of simple daily exercises. These were introduced by Yoganandaji for maximum benefit in increasing the life-force into the cells of the body. Yoganandaji was a Yogi Christ and this simple format of exercise is truly a wonderful daily practice to include, especially during these times of quickening on Earth. By practicing them slowly and meditatively in group each of 7 mornings each one will go home prepared to carry on the practice on their own.
