Friday 5-7pm Meditation • 7:30 program

A silent meditation for 2 hours, before we begin the evening program. Please leave and enter only at 6pm, to help maintain the sacred quiet of this meditation period.

Friday 7:30 program

Walk with Christ through the final hours of his life, following the events associated with the crucifixion. In this contemplative evening, we explore the spiritual consciousness with which he met suffering, humility, and surrender, and reflect on how these universal qualities speak to our lives now.

Usually 1st Saturdays, 9:30am-1pm • Ananda Valley Farm

Regrets, no farm workday today due to the East Holidays. But join us 1st Saturday in May. Enjoy a beautiful day in nature with friends, old and new. Age-appropriate tasks — all are welcome!

Saturday , 10am-3pm • Asha

Asha introduces each section of the music, relating the events of Jesus’ life and present-day relevance. The retreat is half music and half storytelling, with brief interludes of meditation. This is our favorite “performance,” as we are singing only for ourselves and God.

Sunday, 10am

One of the spiritual highlights of the year—join in a music-filled, joyful celebration of Christ’s triumph over all earthly limitations, and awaken within yourself the all-conquering power of Spirit.
