"You may be surprised at what seclusion with God will do for you mind, body and soul.  Through the portals of silence the healing sun of wisdom and peace will shine upon you." -Paramahansa Yogananda

Self-Realization Fellowship's How-to-Live Retreat programs in Southern California are open to anyone seeking spiritual renewal and who desires to leave behind the pressures of everyday life - if only for a few days - to deepen their awareness of the Divine. The daily Retreat programs provide, in the words of Paramahansa Yogananda, "a dynamo of silence where [you] may go for the exclusive purpose of being recharged by the Infinite."

All are welcome to attend the evening of fellowship, refreshments and inspiration!.
