Welcome to Friendship Village Spiritual Ashram Retreat!
Here you will find Body, Mind and Spirit as our base of existence.
Many come interested in staying and allowing this beautiful place to enfold around them and touch their Spirits. We do understand that!
There are many ways to do just that. Our facility is available for rent and you can have catered events of food and lodging and run your own programs and presentations, or activities. You can bring your own group to enjoy what you offer with our homeland as your back drop!
We can also provide a large number of activities to complement Businesses, Spiritual and Personal Growth interests, as well as Education and Career needs. Nature and the environment are very much our interest so we have many things to add that complement all interests regarding health, wealth and happiness.
Spiritual Ashram Retreat Programs
Sabbatical
A time of solace, introspection, personal observance, and review. A sabbatical gives you the opportunity to vision and BE in presence to Source. Relax, slow it down and mend the emotional river of life as the wind caresses your Spirit, the Sun heals your mind, and the beauty emerges into your Body. The difference a day makes!
Retreat
Taking time to think and do those things always on the back burner. Allow your Self to flow with and take in new waves of energy. This is a time of expansion and emergence, mind change and direction, and personal growth and empowerment. On a retreat, you allow your Self to expand consciousness and engage in activity that prods us along to bigger and better matters. This is a time of “being with”, allowing inclusions, and healing separation and aloneness. Material stuff won’t fill your being when empty, so a shopping binge won’t get it! Nature, Beauty, and Spiritual adventure do! Here the four winds dance us, the sounds of nature are our orchestra, the clouds tell us the stories of many lands, the trees know us and live as our closest relative; doorways exist here in all directions and only you know which one will open!
Ashram/Refuge
Means community and family. It is a special place; a place of value and dedication incorporating music, drumming, dance, traditional exchange, arts and craft; a place of ancient futures and sound reality. Here there is no blaming or excuses, only study and application, and walking your talk. To step aside from the world media and its insanity, to seek a greater awareness of value, beauty and reality is what people seek who come for Ashram and Refuge. This means an extended stay and commitment to personal change and growth so that one lives in the environment of that activity 24/7. One applies their skill bank to higher beliefs and has a sense of global family.
It is an experience of application and change, and doing it in respect and cooperation; failing forward and fulfilling results as you allow yourself to change and grow into whom you have always said or wished you could be. Here you are evolving with people of the same intent and values. Some of us came for this and are still here, 20 or better years! Some came and lived with us awhile and moved to other spaces. Some come and frequently return to refill there hearts and spirits. All have added value to their life and gotten values of wisdom and cultural exchange. It is good and it is the Beauty Way. Ashram and Refuge offer work exchange and time. We can always use another set of hands, and there is always an extra bit of bread and soup to offer you until you decide what and when!
I guess what we are saying is we do have much to offer for whatever your need, so it would be worth your while to talk to us! Sharing all that life has given us is our blessing way. May all your days be as fulfilling!
If there are no interests of group or organization then consider a more personal and intimate experience.
