Retreats
Self-Realization Fellowship’s How-to-Live Retreat programs are open to anyone seeking spiritual renewal and who desires to leave behind the pressures of everyday life — if only for a few days — to deepen their awareness of the Divine. The daily Retreat programs provide, in the words of Paramahansa Yogananda, “a dynamo of silence where [you] may go for the exclusive purpose of being recharged by the Infinite.” See Retreats for more information about general and weekend retreats located in Southern California. Programs are open to both men and women. For men looking for a weekend or longer stay in a rural ashram setting, see Hidden Valley.
Youth Programs
Paramahansa Yogananda felt deeply for the welfare of children and took a lifelong interest in their all-around education. Carrying on in this tradition, Self-Realization Fellowship continues to offer a variety of How-to-Live School programs that teach young people how to live a balanced life of meditation and right activity.
