This year's retreat topic is Across Waves to Wonders (Karma & the Hanuman Within)
Through satsang, spiritual practices, devotional singing, meditation, and time with Swamiji, participants will have an opportunity to deepen their understanding of Amma’s teachings and discover practical ways to navigate life's challenges with strength, devotion, and inner clarity.

The Main House is on the hill above the temple hall. When you arrive at MA Center,  turn right and cross over the small bridge. Use the call box on your left just before the outer gate to communicate that you need the gate opened to drive through. Then follow the road past the temple. The road continues on the right next to the temple gate, then curves left up the hill to the Main House. The puja room is just inside the front door to the house.
