28 – 30 April, 2023 Kriya Yoga Initiation retreat
This is a special Kriya Yoga initiation program under guidance of Yogacharya Histas Damania. Kriya Yoga is an ancient method of living and meditation that cultivates body, mind, intellect and awareness of the soul, using powerful meditative and yogic disciplines. It helps us to experience the three divine qualities of light, vibration and sound using concentration, posture and breathing. This develops a one-pointed mind, which enables us to penetrate the deepest levels of consciousness and change our lives. Kriya Yoga teaches us that any action, kri, is done by ya, the indwelling soul. It is a universal spiritual discipline that crosses all divisions and boundaries.
For newly initiated people we offer the price of 50 euros per day, so for the weekend you only pay 100 euros/ 1000 swedish kronor for full accommodation and meals (this is apart from the financial donation of 150 euros/1500 kronor for the initiation ceremony). For the initiation ceremony you would need to bring three offerings. The three offerings are five fruits, which represent the fruits gained from activities throughout life; five flowers, which represent the five senses; and a financial donation of 150 euros. The three offerings represent the causal, astral, and gross bodies, respectively. You can find more information about the initiation and Kriya Yoga here.
People already initiated into the Kriya Yoga technique are also very welcome. A free public lecture about Kriya Yoga will be held on friday evening April 28 at 7:15 pm.
