YES!+ Leadership Retreat
When we have more things to do than our energy levels, stress increases. Negative emotions - anger, regret, sadness, anxiety and fear - eat up our energy and time putting an unnecessary burden on our efforts. The Yesplus Retreat teaches you practical tools to better handle the stresses of daily life and bring peace, clarity and joy into our lives.
This retreat has been taught in 75 universities around the country (including Harvard and Stanford) in addition to progressive and service-oriented institutions such as Google and the World Bank.
The "YES" of YES!+ stands for Your Enlightened Side. Below are some key aspects of the course.

Sahaj Samadhi
In the Sahaj Samadhi Meditation Course, you will learn an effortless technique of meditation that allows the conscious mind to experience the silent depths of its own nature. Sahaj, in Sanskrit, means effortless and Samadhi is the silent, lively state of awareness that lies at the source of thought. Samadhi is a natural state beyond waking, sleeping and dreaming that is an unlimited reservoir of energy, intelligence and creative power and a place of infinite peace and tranquility.
The practice of Sahaj Samadhi brings all of these qualities into our daily experience, resulting in increased energy, clarity, and most importantly, deep inner peace.
