The School of Bhakti recently hosted a transformative “Discover Yourself” Day Retreat at the Manor’s Shri Krishna Haveli. The retreat welcomed 300 attendees of various ages, backgrounds, and cultures—united in a shared pursuit of spiritual growth.
The day began with an ice-breaker session led by Krishna Kirtan Das, creating an atmosphere of connection and camaraderie. This was followed by a rotation of four workshops designed to guide attendees toward discovering their unique selves:
A Yoga and Fitness Workshop, which emphasized the importance of nurturing one’s physical wellbeing, treating the body as a temple, and cultivating inner peace through yoga.
After other workshops and lunch prasad, S.B. Keshava Swami, delivered an uplifting talk followed by Q&A. The day concluded with mantra meditation, where participants—many of whom had never met before—sang and danced together, celebrating the shared experience.
The diverse audience reflected the spirit of inclusion, with everyone coming together in an uplifting experience. This retreat was a beautiful example of how people from different backgrounds can unite in their spiritual journey.
