A Journey through the Bhagavad Gita
Summer Yoga & Meditation Retreat
at the Mountain Zen Center Crestone, Colorado
July 30 – August 3, 2025
Join Jeanie and an amazing community of women in the breathtaking stillness of Crestone, Colorado for a transformative retreat designed to help you release past pain and uncover the path to your authentic soul's purpose.
This retreat invites you to dive deeply into the ancient wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita, "The Song of the Soul," a story woven with the pain of human separation, the struggles of war and family, and humanity's attempts to control the natural world. Through this timeless narrative, we will explore profound teachings that illuminate the way to living an awakened life:
Dharma: Discovering Your Unique Purpose — Each of us has a unique calling, a duty to live in alignment with our highest self. Through reflection and practice, we will clarify our dharma and embrace it as a source of strength.
Karma Yoga: Acting Without Attachment — By releasing attachment to outcomes, we learn to act with love, purpose, and freedom, transforming pain and limiting beliefs into empowered action.
The Inner Battle: Confronting Fear and Doubt — The Gita teaches us how to face the internal struggles that hold us back and emerge with clarity and courage.
The Subtle Body and Meditation — Meditation reveals the intuitive wisdom of the subtle body, offering insights the physical and mental realms cannot access.
Bhavana Insight born wisdom through deep inner states. Recognizing the divine inner guidance.
