Breaking the Patterns, Awakening the Self
From Samskaras to Freedom and Spiritual Growth
Why do certain patterns keep repeating in our lives? What are the forces from our past that continue to shape our thoughts, reactions, and experiences—and how can spiritual practice help us move beyond them?
This Autumn Bliss Retreat will offer an in-depth exploration of Shrii Shrii Anandamurti’s teachings on samskaras, the reactive momenta that influence our tendencies and experiences. We will explore how samskaras are created and expressed, their relationship with karma, and how sadhana and spiritual life gradually lead us toward greater freedom.
We will also delve deeply into the practice of Madhuvidya and Brahmacarya—not only as philosophical concepts, but as practical tools for transforming how we act, perceive the world, and relate to the Supreme in everyday life.
Through talks, discussions, meditation, kiirtan, collective practice, and shared experiences, we will seek to bring these profound teachings into our daily lives.
We especially encourage participants to attend the full retreat from Friday through Sunday. The program is designed as a continuous journey, with each part building upon the previous one, allowing us to experience the theme and collective spiritual vibration more deeply.
