Group Meditation and Satsang Retreat

Sunday, November 19th
from Noon - 6:00pm.
at
Vishnu's Couch Yoga Studio
61 Prospect Ave. 4th Floor
Binghamton, NY 13901

Seeing that meditation is the most effective means for significant beneficial change in our lives and in the world, simply because it improves the functioning of our most important tool--the brain, and because it is the easiest to implement, we offer this opportunity to dive deeper and marinate longer in the blissful silence of meditation.

The day will consist mostly of sitting meditation punctuated by: 
rest, relaxation, sound meditation, pranayama, gentle asanas, Satsang, walking meditation, and a light vegan Soup-du-jour.  The retreat goes from Noon to 6:00 pm.  Join in at any time and stay for as long as you would like.
