The Atlanta Regional Retreat took place from September 1 – 4, 2023. Ac. Diiptimanananda Avt. and the Asheville Bhukti committee organized the retreat. We had two seminar classes during the retreat – on Saturday, Ac. Vishvamitra gave a workshop on Devotion and Bliss (related to the seminar topic Vrajagopála & Párthasárathi Krsña in the light of Bhaktitattva) and Sunday, Ac. Diiptimanananda Avt. gave a class on the topic “The Laws of Social Dynamics.” Brother Rudresh gave a class on “Microvita and the Genetic Code in the Big Bang.” The Sunday morning classes were very intellectually stimulating. The Margiis participated in the discussions on the topics. The Margiis arranged childcare by a teacher in the River School, and there was Akhanda Kiirtana every day in the morning or afternoon. The retreat had a participation of about forty-five people.
