Meditation Retreat with Ma Mokshapriya
Join us for our Meditation Retreat w/ Ma Mokshapriya! This retreat offers clear and supportive guidance in meditation, yoga, and breathwork, held within a calm and steady daily rhythm. Set amidst the natural beauty of the Catskills, this retreat invites you to slow down, step out of your daily routine, and reconnect with yourself, nature, and others. Throughout the weekend, you’ll have the space to release tension, settle the nervous system, and return to a calmer, clearer state of mind.
The program will include daily meditation, yoga and Pranayama (breathwork). We will study and practice from Mataji’s “Techniques of Meditation to Enhance Mind Power” book. In addition, we take some mindful walks on the property—an opportunity to bring meditation into movement and connect with the land in a simple, direct way. We will observe silence Saturday night into Sunday morning, allowing the mind and nervous system to rest deeply.
Meditation offers powerful science-backed benefits for both mind and body, helping to lower stress, ease anxiety, improve focus, and promote restful sleep through regular daily practice.
