This summer, 2022, New York Sector organized three new people retreats in the USA, with an attendance of over thirty people, and three retreats in Canada. The first program in the US was at Ananda Dhiira Master Unit in Grass Valley, California, led by Avtk. Ananda Acira Acarya and Ac. Diiptimanananda Avt., the second one was at Ananda Kanan after the Summer Conference, led by Ac. Diiptimanananda Avt., Ac. Satyamitranananda Avt., and Avtk. Ananda Acira Acarya. The third retreat was at Ananda Girisuta MU in North Carolina. The beginner meditation retreats are essential for giving people who have startedBaba Nam Kevalam meditation and those who are entirely new to meditation a gentle way to experience Kiirtana, meditation, waking up early for Paincajainya, and enjoying delicious food and beautiful nature in our Master Units.
