Programs For Professionals
Transform your experience of work. It sometimes seems we have separated our ‘work life’ from our ‘regular life’, so that meaningful time begins after work or on the weekends. But given we spend so much of our precious time at work, how can we bring more meaning, purpose and energy into our professional lives. In our online and in-person programs, designed especially for professionals, you will find your own meaning of harmony and sense of well-being.
The spiritual practices we offer will align you so that no matter what job you are doing from nursing clients, teaching children, or running a business, you can find fulfillment and peace.
In-Person Retreat
This retreat is especially for those balancing work, family, social and spiritual life. Its purpose is to give you space to slow down, stretch, relax and listen within. How can you navigate your way through the uncertainties of change? Where is your life or career taking you? What is your direction? Give yourself time to access your own wisdom, acknowledge where you are at, and become more conscious of your choices. The individual insights you gain can immediately apply in your life and career.
Join our dynamic team, teachers Swami Sukhananda and Alicia Pace (bios below). Their decades of experience in unfolding human potential and supporting individuals in their growth and healing will create a spacious, nourishing and uplifting retreat.
