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.
