Join Nalanda Institute faculty for a Saturday retreat centered on mind-brain-body health and transformation. The morning session will involve guided yoga postures, deep breathing exercises, and Buddhist meditation practice incorporating mindful attunement and analytic insight.  The afternoon session will involve a cross-cultural, interdisciplinary presentation of goals of Contemplative Psychology including insight into selflessness and neural integration. This retreat is the culmination of the second class of Nalanda’s Four Year Program, but is open to all.

* Please wear comfortable clothes for freedom of movement and bring a yoga mat if you have one, otherwise mats will be provided.
