I had a fantastic time at the Expanding Light Retreat! I could not have picked a better place for a spiritual retreat. Everybody I encountered was very friendly. There was no agenda being pushed...other than to help me find the joy in my spiritual practice! Great group of people, phenomenal facilities, and truly spiritual areas for meditation. I will definitely be back!

Probably one of the kindest places to heal on this planet. The ideal place to be in your truth and deepen your Divine Spiritual connection, surrounded by a peaceful environment. The Ananda Community lives and breathes the Divine teachings of Guru Paramhansa Yogananda and due to that magnanimous fact I believe all who visit leave feeling happier and more empowered than when they arrived. A true blessing I am grateful to continue to be receiving and sharing, joyfully.���

I am very impressed with the quality of the course, the materials that were shared, the way it was put together -very smart! It was very beneficial to have different teachers with slightly different styles so we could learn from each and be comfortable with finding our own style. Thank you for all your support, I totally ... read more
