Retreat & Public Program with Swami Amritaswarupananda Puri (In Person)

Aug 15, 2026 9:00am to Aug 16, 2026 9:00pm 

Location: TBD

Pre-registration is required for the retreat. Register HERE.

Join us for a special two-day retreat and public program with Swami Amritaswarupananda Puri, Amma’s most senior disciple, who has traveled the world sharing Amma’s message of love, compassion, and selfless service for nearly four decades.

Through satsang, spiritual practices, devotional singing, meditation, and time with Swamiji, participants will have the opportunity to deepen their understanding of Amma’s teachings and discover practical ways to navigate life’s challenges with strength, devotion, and inner clarity.

Retreat Theme: Across Waves to Wonders : The Hanuman Within

Whether material or spiritual, ‘moving forward' is essential. Major religious texts emphasize this. Stagnation hinders success. Flow is natural to creation. Living in harmony with nature promotes overall well-being. Life brings unexpected challenges. To face them without fear, depression, or anxiety, we need grace, the grace already inherent within us. Let’s explore our potential through Amma’s teachings, scriptures, and Swamiji's experiences with Amma, uncovering the invincible Hanuman within.
