I’m just back from Kripalu Center, leading a three-day intensive and head back up in a few weeks for more.
If you’ve not been, do consider a retreat in the Berkshire Mountains, next to Tanglewood, the home of the Boston Symphony and right on the Stockbridge Bowl. The land was once a sacred Native American Indian site and home of Andrew Carnegie toward the end of his life. His dream was to retire back to Scotland, but the u boats were patrolling the seas and he chose this property as it reminded him so much of home.
The Jesuits had their home here at the hub of activity for New England, then sold it to our community back in 1981. Since then it’s been a mecca for all kinds of program.
I’ll be leading Guiding Meditation for Transformational Yoga Teaching starting June 19th (9 days), The Still Small Voice Within: Meditation, Focusing and Intuition Training starting August 16th (5 days) and The Energy Intensive starting September 24th (3 days).

In the summer, among many things, you can do long swims in the lake, hear the BSO across the lawn and savor the New England summer.
