2022 HYMTA ANNUAL RETREAT

SEPTEMBER 23RD - 25TH

with PANDIT DABRAL

THEME: Sri Vidya - The Himalayan Interior Practices

The Sri Vidya science embodies the core teaching and practices of The Himalayan Tradition.
Swami Veda Bharati described Sri Vidya as the God’s science of the Universe. It honors the Mother Divine as the Shakti which is the source of all creation and encompasses all Tantras.

Pandit Dabral will teach us the philosophy and practices within the Shakti texts, including Tripura Sundari, the primary deity of Sri Vidya.

Our Guest Speaker: Dr. Pandit Hari Shankar Dabral

When you listen to Pandit Dabral’s instructions and stories, you will immediately feel drawn to him.

His knowledge of Sanskrit scriptures is vast and thorough and he delivers his content with great clarity in a language that is accessible to all.

His warm smile and sense of humor bring lightness to his teachings that are unique and heart-warming.

His meditation sessions are deep, centering and relaxing, leaving your body and mind joyful and refreshed. If you have an opportunity to attend his workshop or one of his retreats, please don’t hesitate, you will appreciate his knowledge and all he has to offer.

Location & Accommodations

Roughly 50 miles northwest of Chicago, Loyola’s Retreat and Ecology campus sits in the serene countryside of Woodstock, Illinois. Our space is encompassed by 98 acres of greenery and serves as a peaceful place for spiritual and intellectual growth and connection with peers, colleagues, and friends.

GREEN PROMISE

LUREC’s fundamental guiding principle is conservation on our campus through reducing, reusing, and recycling. Loyola is committed to restoring and maintaining the biodiversity of our campus, and during your stay with us, we invite you to take part in our mission of sus- tainability, conservation, and restoration. As part of our green promise, we installed a geo- thermal system in our north wing so that guests can enjoy the ground’s gift of warmth in the winter and coolness in the summer.
