Our national retreat this year is being held at the Steiner Bell Lodge facility at Wafloy Mountain Village in Gatlinburg, TN. Join with us to relax, refresh and renew your spirit in a 5-day fully immersive experience.

Steiner Bell is newly-renovated, featuring hotel-style accommodations each with private balcony from which you enjoy breathtaking views of the Smoky Mountains.

ACCOMMODATION: There are large and comfortable double rooms available, each with private bath and balcony.

DESCRIPTION: We will have two group chant and meditations as well as two Satsangs (group gatherings) each day. There will be ample time for walking meditation, introspection, relaxation and fun. The location and setting is very peaceful and highly conducive to meditation and just getting away from it all.

SCHEDULE: The course begins Thursday, September 28th (dinner) through Tuesday, October 3rd 2023 (after breakfast).
