Finding Your Purpose in Life With Swami Jnaneswariananda
Friday, October 9 @ 2:00 pm - Sunday, October 11 @ 12:00 pm
Tuition: Accommodations only
In a world filled with endless noise and competing expectations, it is easy to lose touch with who you truly are. In Advaita Vedanta, the quest for purpose is not about creating a new identity or striving for external achievement—it is the direct practice of Atma Vichara (Self-Inquiry). It is the gentle, systematic unravelling of who you are not, so that your inherent truth, clarity, and natural direction can shine through.
This weekend retreat offers a rare, intentional pause to step away from daily routines, align with your core values, and reconnect with a deep, authentic sense of direction. Through the classical inquiry of “Who am I?“, Vedantic wisdom, silent reflection, and daily yoga practice, you will look beyond transient thoughts and limiting beliefs to access the quiet reservoir of wisdom within.
