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. 

In this retreat, through a series of powerful guided meditations, Siddha Yogis explore how their active participation in meditation is vital to the Blue Pearl experience. While maintaining this inner focus, participants also join in silent meditation walks and hatha yoga stretches, receive detailed instructions on breathing and posture, and learn other 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. This retreat is led by a Siddha Yoga meditation teacher and is designed for students who love to meditate as well as those who wish to strengthen their practice of meditation.
