Discipleship Renewal Program
WHAT is this program about
This program has come about in response to people eyeing the “Living Discipleship” program with renewed interest, looking for a similar opportunity to refresh their practices and deepening their atunement.
This immersive, 9 -day experience to deepen our practices and atunement to God and Guru and support your spiritual growth.
It is different from ‘Living Discipleship Program’ as it is centered on deepening in the practices, for those that have already done Living Discipleship, to dive into longer sadhanas and practical tools to grow in atunement and depth in meditation.
WHEN is it happening
Next dates available: October 9-18, 2026
WHERE will it be
Held at the Ananda Meditation Retreat, the original site of Ananda and where the community began.
FOR WHO is this program
This program is offered exclusively to Ananda Kriyabans who have taken the full immersion Living Discipleship Program before, are established in the core teachings and have made their sadhana and service to Ananda a central part of their lives.
What is the COST?
The cost of the program is $1200 aprox. (includes lodging, 2 meals a day and program activities).
There are some scholarships available for those who might need some financial assistance.
