THE JOY OF GIVING

A 7-night Retreat

The times when we lower our eyes in prayer when passing a place of worship… and instead of making another wish, gratitude for what we already have fills our consciousness.

The occasions we see someone less fortunate and realize – “There, but for the grace of god, go I”, and count our blessings rather than our unfulfilled desires.

The instance when a simple act of giving – a treat to a child, a helping hand to the frail – fills us with joy and inner warmth….

The ancient scriptures tell us that the Universe is connected and that we are each a part of one Supreme Consciousness. There is no ‘other’ to compete with or hoard from. We give to ourselves. Which is why the act of giving is permeated with joy.


If, in spite of your daily struggles, you feel blessed with abundance and wish to share your love, time and maybe more with those who will appreciate it, we invite you to Shreyas for a Retreat that celebrates the gift of life and the spirit of giving.

                THE JOY OF GIVING - A 7-night hiatus from our demanding lives to restore our inner balance and realize
the immense joy that arises from simple acts of giving and sharing.
