Just as the wave is not separate from the ocean, we too are not separate from Mother Nature.

RETREAT CONNECTING WITH NATURE

    The retreat is designed as a two-day reflection on Mother Nature led by Amma's disciples. You could also enjoy each part separately at your convenience in any way you like.
