Retreat Meditation Prerequisites

1) For weekend retreats and 3 or 4 day mini-retreats, attendees should practice the Surya Meditation or Surya Ram Meditation twice daily for a month or more before the retreat. Attendees need to be practicing the Surya Meditation or Surya Ram Meditation for a minimum of 2 weeks prior to a mini-retreat or retreat weekend.

For week-long meditation retreats, attendees should be practicing the Surya Meditation or Surya Ram Meditation twice daily for a minimum of a month before the retreat.

2) It is preferable to learn the Surya Meditation, practice it for a couple of weeks, and then learn the Surya Ram Meditation and continue to practice it twice daily as part of your lifestyle. For all retreats, it is preferable to learn the Surya Ram Meditation and be practicing it twice daily prior to the retreat. If you have not learned the Surya Ram Meditation prior to the first day of the retreat, please let Lisa or Dave know so you can receive Surya Ram Meditation instruction on the first day of the retreat.
