Healing & Wellness in the Dwapara Yuga

A Mini Retreat in the Heart of Hamilton

with Nayaswami Shanti

Step into a new paradigm of living, where wellness is not just the absence of illness but the radiant expression of our highest potential.

As humanity moves deeper into the Dwapara Yuga — the age of energy and awareness — our understanding of healing and wellness is undergoing a profound transformation. No longer limited to the physical body alone, true health is increasingly recognized as a harmony of body, mind, and spirit.

We are delighted to welcome Nayaswami Shanti, a Stanford-trained medical doctor, long-time disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda, and Spiritual Director of Ananda Palo Alto, to Ananda New Zealand.

This special retreat offers a chance to learn from her unique blend of medical knowledge and spiritual wisdom.

What You’ll Explore

In this immersive day, Nayaswami Shanti will share insights on:

The shift in consciousness: How the rising energy of Dwapara Yuga is changing the way we approach health and vitality.

Healing through energy and awareness: Moving beyond material cures to embrace the power of thought, vibration, and inner alignment.

Practical tools for wellness: Simple practices to strengthen resilience, cultivate peace, and awaken joy in daily life.

Spiritual wellness as the foundation: Why lasting healing begins with the soul, and how to nurture it in modern times.
