Orientation: Entering the Blue Pearl Retreat, Friday before the retreat, 7:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.

“The Blue Pearl retreat” explores the divine vision of the Self in the form of the inner light. Through a series of powerful guided meditations, siddhayogis explore how their active participation in meditation is vital in their experience of the Blue Pearl. While maintaining this inner focus, participants also join in silent meditation walks and hatha yoga stretches, and receive detailed instructions on breathing and posture, and learn sacred practices by which meditation becomes deep and powerful.

Beginning in the early morning hours and continuing into the early evening, participants immerse themselves in meditation for two full days.

Led by a Siddha Yoga Meditation Teacher, the Blue Pearl Retreat is designed for students who love to meditate as well as those who wish to strengthen their practice of meditation.The Blue Pearl Retreat explores the divine vision of the Self in the form of the inner light.
