Saratoga Springs... A Spring Retreat!
Spring is on the horizon, and with spring comes an exceptional opportunity to embrace nature’s metamorphosis to the new season. Come enjoy the abundance of wildflowers in our Northern California sanctuary—and discover your own way to grow spiritually amidst the profusion of greenery that surrounds us at this amazing time of year.
While many of you may choose to enjoy the beauty and serenity of Saratoga Springs on your own, this spring we’re also offering you a unique way to help you make space in your life for reflection and self-awareness—Pamela Wilson’s weeklong Satsang and Yoga Retreat.
Satsang and Yoga Retreat with Pamela Wilson
March 14–21, 2008
As you drop your preconceptions, you discover that you are compassion and wisdom itself, and that it is possible to abide in oneness in the midst of everyday life.
~Pamela Wilson
Saratoga Springs is proud to welcome Pamela Wilson to beautiful Lake County for her first weeklong retreat in Northern California. Teaching in the tradition of Ramana Maharshi, Pamela invites you to join her for a week of sacred gatherings, or “satsangs,” during which we will share questions, comments, silence, and laughter. There will also be ample time to reflect on your experiences and use your interactions with others to deepen your understanding.
Pamela has endeared herself to many over the years for the simple and self-evident compassion of her presence, for her intuitive skill at focusing on the real issues that keep the seeker from the realization of his or her true nature, and for the sheer lightheartedness of her satsangs. Pamela travels widely, giving satsang and private sessions throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe.
The retreat starts on Friday evening, March 14, and ends at noon on Friday, March 21. Each day will include a morning yoga session and two satsangs, with plenty of time for soaking in the hot tub, sitting quietly, joining friends in the lodge, and hiking on the many spectacular trails in our surrounding mountains. Our magnificent spring wildflowers will make your experience even more enriching and memorable.
Delicious organic vegetarian meals are included. The single rate for accommodation, which includes three meals each day, is $765 per person (includes a 9% bed tax). If more than 30 participants enroll, each of you will enjoy a special group rate of $715 per person. Allocation of rooms will be on a first-come, first-served basis. A satsang fee, which is in addition to the accommodation and meal fee, is $350 for the weeklong retreat.
To reserve your place, contact Saratoga Springs by calling 800.655.7153 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. and let our staff know you wish to register for Pamela Wilson’s retreat. A deposit of $150 will reserve your place for this enlightening week of self-inquiry and self-realization. (Payment may be made by credit card, or you can send a check to Saratoga Springs, 10243 Saratoga Springs Road, Upper Lake, CA 95485.) A $150 deposit for the satsang fee would also be gratefully received. For this deposit, please make your check out to Fellowship of the Heart and mail it to Fellowship of the Heart, P.O. Box 747, Tesuque, NM 87574. Please write “Saratoga Springs” on your check.
If you are flying in, we suggest you choose the Sacramento airport. This airport is smaller and less congested than Bay Area airports and offers a shorter, easier drive to our retreat (especially on a Friday afternoon). Those interested in sharing a rental car should email tonyk@sonic.net to get connected with others who share their preference.
Those driving from the Bay Area are encouraged to carpool by emailing tonyk@sonic.net with your resources and needs.
