In 2017, I went to my first retreat at the expanding light center..

Oh Ananda, I drove away in such a state of calm. A peace which stayed with me for two solid days of driving-and in Memorial Day traffic. The land is, of course, spectacular.

Beautiful facility, we were welcomed, food was very healthy & delicious! We had some excellent meditations and especially enjoyed the Lahiri Mahasaya mandir- and the foundation retreat several miles away.
Every experience I've had at the Expanding Light Retreat has been inspiring and uplifting, from the food, the classes, the teachers and staff. The grounds are well kept and has a feeling of sacredness.
Despite challenging weather and power outages I was warm and cozy all weekend. Very nice.
Test. I really enjoyed my time it was the best ever!
