The Hare Krishna Valley in Bambra was the setting for last weekend’s yoga retreat conducted by Prahladananda Swami. This 3-days program was organised by Vraja Nari Dasi and the Urban Yoga crew and proved to be very successful.
The first day featured a casual introduction of everyone and mantra meditation. The following day was action-packed: yoga session in the morning, elaborate breakfast, three and half hours bush-trek, copious lunch, a presentation on the practical application of yoga and meditation in a fast-pace life, sumptuous dinner followed by a movie night on the ‘Holy Ganges’ which was concluded by a heated spiritual debate. Sunday started with a yoga session, followed by a most beautiful breakfast after which those who were brave enough renewed the bush-trek adventure. Everyone gathered again around an elaborate Lebanese banquet followed by kirtan. By 5pm everyone was ready to cruise back to Melbourne after a memorable first-weekend-of-the-year.
Here are a few pictures giving an aperçu of the weekend!
