Living is an art, a skill, a technique. You need to learn and practice it As you would play a musical instrument or fly an aircraft - Swami A. Parthasarathy.

This retreat has been conceived to provide an opportunity to take a step back from the stress of daily life and immerse yourself in a weekend dedicated to personal development and well-being.

This ancient philosophy presents the eternal principles of life and living. It programmes a life of mental peace combined with dynamic action in the world. It equips one with clarity of intellect to eliminate stress and gain success by dealing with life's challenges.

Above all, its philosophy leads one to the ultimate goal of human perfection, absolute peace and happiness.

The retreat aims to establish a more lasting state of human maturity. Seasoned teachers disseminate authentic, time-honoured ideas to bring about inner transformation.
