From Self Will to Surrender : A Bhakti Recovery Retreat

This weekend retreat focuses on the movement from self will to surrender. Over two and a half days we explore how the wisdom of the Twelve Steps and the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita come together to help us navigate that shift in our lives.

The Bhakti Recovery approach looks at the patterns that disturb our inner life. In recovery language these may be called addictions or compulsive behaviors. In the bhakti tradition they are known as anarthas, the unwanted habits and tendencies that cloud the heart and make spiritual life difficult.

Throughout the weekend you will experience

•⁠  ⁠Guided sessions exploring Steps One, Three, and Eleven from the Bhakti Recovery Group (BRG)

•⁠  ⁠Teachings from the Bhagavad Gita and how they illuminate the process of spiritual transformation

•⁠  ⁠Reflections on the devotional prayers and bhajans of Bhaktivinoda Thakur and the mood of surrender they express

•⁠  ⁠Clear explanations of how recovery principles and bhakti practice support each other

•⁠  ⁠Small group discussions and reflection exercises to explore these principles in your own life

•⁠  ⁠Guided meditation and chanting of the holy names

•⁠  ⁠Kirtan and sacred storytelling from the bhakti tradition

•⁠  ⁠Practical ways to strengthen daily spiritual practice and conscious connection with Krishna

Each day of the retreat builds on the previous one.

By the end of the weekend you will leave with

•⁠  ⁠A clear understanding of the Bhakti Recovery path

•⁠  ⁠Insight into how self will and anarthas create suffering in your life

•⁠  ⁠A deeper appreciation of the Bhagavad Gita and the devotional mood expressed in the bhajans of Bhaktivinoda Thakur

•⁠  ⁠Practical ways to care for and strengthen your daily spiritual practice

•⁠  ⁠Experience with prayer, meditation, and chanting as a way to maintain spiritual clarity

•⁠  ⁠Connection with others walking a path of spiritual growth and inner transformation

This weekend is not only about learning ideas. It is about discovering how simple spiritual principles can be practiced in daily life and how they can begin to transform the way you live.
