Images of the November YA Retreat

This past weekend YAs gathered at the BMCM retreat house in Tomales, California, for a weekend focused on meditation and integrating Easwaran's eight points into our daily lives. It was a wonderful gathering of long-time and brand new meditators!

It may be November, but the weather was beautiful for the mantram beach walk at nearby Dillon Beach.

In lieu of the traditional volleyball game, we played a great game of basketball – it's amazing how talented we were when we ignored all the rules!

As always, the retreat ended with a tour of the BMCM Headquarters and Ramagiri Ashram, the spiritual community practicing Easwaran's method of meditation.

Even though the retreat is only a weekend, we can't believe the lift our practice has gotten and our week is off to a great start!
