Dana Reinhardt, a professional chef and restaurant consultant, recently spent 10 days at the Ashram on an artist/professional retreat. Her focus was unusual – she wanted to perfect a recipe she had just created for Italian-style bread.
Dana, who has taken many courses at the Ashram, asked if she could come and use the kitchen. Although it had not been done before, our chef agreed. “It’s been amazing doing my work at the Ashram. I see the deer every morning from my snug cabin and fall asleep to the sound of the creek. It was the perfect fit for me, “says Dana. It was also delicious for all the taste-testers as she served her bread with lunch!
Artist and Professional Retreats are for people from all disciplines including writers, musicians, executives, health-care workers, visual artists, freelancers, people on sabbaticals – and anyone wanting to tap into their creative potential or de-stress and recharge. A variety of accommodation options are available.
Retreats provide the opportunity to step back from day-to-day routine and focus on a specific project. Artist and professional participants receive the benefits of Ashram life including morning yoga classes, healthy meals, evening satsangs, access to prayer rooms, the Temple of Light, and the forests and beach of the Ashram grounds. Guests fully participate in life in a spiritual community with an option of either two or four hours of Karma Yoga. The rest of the day is available for renewal and personal focus.
Alanda Greene recently spent a week on her current writing project. “I came wanting to get a lot of writing done,” she says. “What I experienced was a context of incredible support, details arranged that encouraged deep listening, and the chance to be in uninterrupted connection within. It was a delicious offering for my inner being. After the retreat, I discovered it also supported the project in ways not even recognized at the time.”
