This 1 week to 1 month retreat opportunity sustains and cultivates a positive attitude towards life.

The program incorporates twice daily group discussions, plus a full yoga program focusing on improving the quality of one's participation in the world, one's involvement in the material life and to strengthen connections with the inner and outer nature of one's being.
