IAM IMMERSION WEEKEND at MACC

Aug 21, 2015 5:00pm to Aug 23, 2015 2:00pm (ended)

Please click here for IAM event FLYER

The verdant grounds of MA Center Chicago (MACC) will become the venue of an Integrated Amrita Meditation (IAM) Immersion from Friday, August 21st through Sunday, the 23rd.

The IAM Technique is a powerful way to reconnect with our real center, our inner Self, and thereby experience true joy and peace in life. Born out of Mata Amritanandamayi’s (Amma) divine inspiration, this meditation technique, when practiced with dedication, is designed to bring about integration in our lives –an integration of body, mind, intellect, and heart.

Dedicate the weekend to slow down and discover the technique to calm your body, mind, and spirit.

Immerse in Walking Meditation, Q&A with Br. Shantamrita Chaitanya, Homa, Bonfire, etc.
