Return to Presence- A Half Day restorative yogic practices with a monk

Return to stillness with meditation, Yoga Nidra, meditative concert, and the timeless wisdom of a Himalayan monk in this half day retreat
About this Event

Return to Presence is a half day retreat into meditation, Yoga Nidra, sacred sound, and restorative practices—an invitation to step away from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with the peace that exists beneath the surface of the restless mind.

This space is designed with great care and intention—from the flow of the day to the practices themselves—creating a welcoming space where there is nothing to achieve, perform, or prove. You are simply invited to arrive as you are, slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with yourself.

Guided by the wisdom of Swami Yatidharmananda, a Himalayan monk from Uttarkashi, India, and complemented by Mokshajyoti's yoga of sound & devotional music the day gently weaves together stillness, meditation & sacred sound. Through these practices, you'll be invited to cultivate a deeper sense of grounding, presence, and connection—with yourself, with nature, and with the community around you.

Throughout the day, you'll experience meditation, Yoga Nidra-A Yogic relaxation technique, meditation, kirtan, meditative sound concert weaving elements of yoga of sound, Indian Classical music & Kirtan, and live interaction and Q&A with the monk.

Whether you are new to these practices or have walked the spiritual path for years, this retreat offers a nurturing environment where you can pause, receive, and remember the quiet presence that has always been within.

Swami Yatidharmananda is visiting from Sivanand Seva Samiti, India: https://www.sivanandsevasamiti.org/

This event is hosted by Mokshajyoti of Moss and Moksha LLC.
