We invite everyone interested in Samarpan Dyanyog, particularly those from the Shree Shivkrupanand Swami Foundations from the American countries, namely Canada, USA, Brazil and Peru, to come together during the 21st through 23rd of September, 2018 for a blissful Samarpan Dhyanyog Retreat. This will be a residential, international meditation retreat and Living Satguru H.H. Shree Shivkrupanand Swami and H.H. Guruma will join us through Live Video Conferences. 
​Location
This spiritual weekend retreat is being held on the holy land of the Art of Living International Centre in Saint Mathieu-du-Parc in the Province of Quebec, Canada.

We have chosen this holy land founded by the living Satguru H.H. Shree Shree Ravi Shankarji, which has been serving as a peaceful oasis to everyone looking to connect with Universal Consciousness via their own selves. The Centre which is spread over 230 acres of land features five lakes, walking trails, residences, meditation halls, a wellness centre, Ayurveda Centre, organic gardens and many more.

​It is situated 164 kms away from the Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport. The changing colours of the leaves on trees along the road in the Quebec area are a treat to watch. 

​
Accommodation & Meals 
The retreat centre is furnished with lake-side, private, simple but comfortable cabins where you will wind down your energy filled days in cozy, heated, cabin-suites with private/semi-private bathrooms and other basic amenities. Cabins can be configured to accommodate families with children. Pillows, beddings, linens will be provided. Please bring along personal toiletries, a towel and a meditation mat.

You will enjoy six healthy, multi-cuisine vegetarian buffet-served meals (Friday dinner through Sunday lunch) in a dining-hall facility, prepared in the kitchen with an Ashram atmosphere.

Onsite parking, pavilions, sports-fields, gym, jogging, arts-crafts, Ayurveda centre & yoga studios are available.  Attendees arriving at the Montreal Airport will be facilitated with transportation to and from the retreat venue. 
​
Retreat
Swamiji and Gurumal will conduct live meditation lessons  from India and will answer our questions pertaining to our spiritual journey. 

On Saturday the 22nd of September, the online discourse will be followed by Havan – a holy Fire Ceremony and in the afternoon there will be several fun-filled spiritual outdoor activities.

In the evening we will take part in bhajans, sing alongs and cultural activities. We will have time to stroll along the beautiful trails by the lakes in the Centre, either in solitude being with one’s own ‘self’ or in groups recounting the events of the day.

​Please refer to the attached schedule for the detailed program. There will be arrangements for child care for younger children and for age appropriate programs for older children.
