Growing Bhakti

for those familiar to bhakti

Growing Bhakti is for those familiar with bhakti and looking to develop their faith and practice with a group of people who also appreciate bhakti. Over the course of 12 weeks the group spends time reading from an important Bhakti text and discussing topics such as bhakti philosophy, spiritual practices, healthy lifestyle changes, and relationship with spiritual teacher and Krishna.

The environment provides for deep discussions amongst others at a similar stage of bhakti, sharing of personal realizations and challenges, and forging of relationships in community on the path of bhakti.

Registration is open up until 2 weeks after the group begins so click on the link below to register for the group that works for you! If you are unsure of what group is best for you or have any questions, please contact communitygroups@bhakticenter.org

Spring Renewal in Peru

Gift yourself a special treat to reflect, rejuvenate and reset for the new season! Join us for this magical Peru retreat of healing and manifestation in the Sacred Valley, where we will celebrate spring by taking the time to reflect, rejuvenate and re-envision.

As we stand at the end of another winter, we will reflect on what we’ve experienced in the past season with love and compassion, and release what’s no longer serving. With the guidance of the teacher and the support of the group, we will learn to understand our own desires so we can envision and manifest the most fulfilling life to come.

Together, we will explore the beauty and wisdom of the 5 elements that we find in nature and within. Each day will be tailored to one element which can be a profound tool to reconnect to one’s individual state of health and wellbeing. Our dharma talks, discussions and workshops will focus on the importance of finding inner connection through our personal spiritual practices and the timeless wisdom of the ancient Indian science of life, Ayurveda.

We will have daily yoga asana classes (both energizing and restorative options), morning meditation and sangas, pranayama, yoga nidra, vision board making, a sankalpa workshop, nature hikes, fresh plant-based meals prepared each day, and plenty of time to connect with each other as well as personal time to reflect and simply be. You will also have the option to hike the Machu Picchu, one of the 7 wonders of the world!

Private massages, solar bath, treatments are available upon special request. Expect a week of deep exploration, rejuvenation and discovery.

We hope you can join us to start your spring with an open heart and an inspired mind in the most magical Sacred Valley Peru!
