5-Day Meditation Retreat At Ananda Girisuta, NC, August 26 - 30, 2026

We invite you to a meditation retreat at Ananda Girisuta Master Unit (Prama Institute), nestled in the serene foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, North Carolina, from February 25 to March 1, 2026. The retreat offers a full daily schedule of yoga, meditation, inspiring classes, nature walks, and uplifting activities designed to nurture both body and mind. Over these five transformative days, you can expect to experience a deep sense of inner clarity and spiritual renewal.

The retreat will be led by Didi Ananda Acira and Dada Diiptimanananda, experienced meditation teachers with decades of dedicated practice and teaching. The program combines silence during the night and early morning with friendly social interaction during the day, creating a balanced environment for rest, reflection, and meaningful connection. On one of the days, we will take a half-day outing to nearby forest trails, enjoying meditation in nature and a picnic lunch surrounded by the beauty of the mountains.

Our harmonious routine includes early rising, healthy vegetarian meals, restorative rest, and collective meditation, all within an atmosphere of joy and serenity. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be lovingly prepared by Dada and Didi, making each day both nourishing and fulfilling.
