This program is exclusively for people who are already practising Kriya Yoga – there will be no initiation.

The retreat will be blessed by the presence of Shri Guruji Paramahamsa Prajnanananda, Swami Atmavidyananda Giri, Rajrshi Peter von Breukelen, as well as monks and teachers.

We warmly invite you to this special program, which will take place in a very unique location — among forest-covered mountains, at the Discalced Carmelite Sanctuary in Czerna (near Krakow).

The monastery was founded in 1625. Construction began in 1629, and already in 1633 the first hermits settled there. Only seven years later, in 1640, the church dedicated to the Prophet Elijah was consecrated. Soon after, an enclosing wall and 12 hermitages were built. Initially, it was a hermit monastery. Monks from other Carmelite monasteries would come to the hermitage to deepen their spiritual life. Strict solitude and perpetual silence were observed there…
