Sadhana

Sadhana is a spiritual practice—with the goal of liberation and enlightenment—that often involves deep meditation, prayer, or yoga. Join us for sadhana during the hours known as the amrit vela, or the time of the nectar, when life around us is very still. It is a time of deep healing and inner contemplation.
