Paramahansa Yogananda's beloved chant "Spirit and Nature dancing together" and the wonder we know festive events bring have inspired this magical event. This is a golden opportunity for anyone looking to immerse themselves in our pristine and sacred land, with guided nature walks, meditations and joyous fellowship under the sun and the stars! We'll offer guided meditations in the cool and quiet mornings, hatha yoga amidst the vibrant forest and clean air, festive music and divine kirtan, meditation and story-telling around a sacred fire, delicious vegetarian meals and so much more! There will be plenty of free time to swim in the river and simply bask in the spiritual vibrations. Get your tickets here.
Song of the Morning Yoga Retreat
YogaFest is held at Song of the Morning Yoga Retreat, a very special place founded by Yogacharya J. Oliver Black, a direct disciple of Paramahansa Yogananda. In 2020 it celebrated its golden anniversary of 50 years as a spiritual sanctuary for all truth thirsty souls. The Retreat is supported by the residents of the Clearlight Community as well as a circle of friends all over the region who have made Song of the Morning their spiritual home. Tucked back in the pristine North Woods of Michigan's Pigeon River (directions here), Song of the Morning is the perfect venue for a festival celebration of the divine dance of spirit and nature. We invite you to visit our website to learn more about the retreat, and see how you can visit us on personal retreat or join our upcoming online programs during this time.
