Perfect Escape - A Spiritual Retreat with Devamrita Swami April 25, 2009

The advanced consciousness of human beings is for understanding the deepest mysteries of existence. What is life? What is its origin? Why does it exist? Yet we mostly struggle to find any practical understanding of the difference between spirit and matter. Spiritual knowledge is vague and inconclusive. Although fashionable peddlers of popular spirituality claim we are spiritual beings, there is a huge gulf between chic notions of the spiritual self and clear-cut knowledge about it.

Buckle up for an adventure of a lifetime ! Beyond the thrills of roller coaster rides is the thrill of meeting someone who can empower you to see the past and future ups and downs of your life’s journey.For all who want to explore the depths of consciousness and take a leap into the next dimension, this retreat is a Must - A day full of carefully designed workshops, yoga sessions, kirtans and feasts. We invite you to join us in the Perfect Escape and grab this rare chance to meet an Urban Monk, ask questions, explore inner calm and have tons of fun.
