Catalyze Your Growth

This program is a call for aspiring yogis and yoginis to gather around a coherent path of self-development with authentic spiritual depth.

Participants will experience how yoga works energetically to sensitize them to the subtle forces underlying existence and utilized by yogis for millennia to expand consciousness. Richard Faulds will introduce a template for practice designed to spark the peak experiences known to catalyze growth and awakening.

In this retreat, you will explore:

• Daily sessions of postures, breathing, and meditation
• The pillars of a yogic lifestyle that support health, enhance performance, and make practice powerful
• The biological basis of yoga that shifts the autonomic nervous system to remedy stress and facilitate introversion
• What Swami Kripalu called “success in life” and how material security, fun, and self-expression can be precursors to spiritual growth
• Guidance on the role of non-ordinary experiences and mystical states on the yogic path
• What awakening is and isn’t

After retiring as a Kripalu Center staff member in 2013, Richard Faulds (Shobhan) translated the extensive legacy of Swami Kripalu into a trilogy of books designed to empower the practice of householder yogis. He shares his key learnings in this three-day weekend that includes Danna Faulds’ first-person experience as reflected in her poetry. Please join us for this heart-centered offering.
