"Marriage should not be approached as a beautiful, but motionless, painting. Rather, it should be viewed as an opportunity for ever-further growth and development. Couples should seek fresh ways every day to express their love for one another, and to bring out the best in each other, and in themselves." —from Self Expansion Through Marriage, by Swami Kriyananda
Self Expansion Through Marriage Book
You will receive, as part of your weekend program, the book: Self Expansion Through Marriage, by Swami Kriyananda

A common comment made by guests after completing this program is that they wished it were longer. We recommend that you stay on an extra day as Personal Retreat guests to further absorb your experience and spend another great day with your partner.
With introspection exercises, discussion, guided visualizations and meditations, you will begin to change from the inside out. Guided exercises will inspire you, and you'll gain tools to use regularly at home for personal transformation.
As has often been said, “If you want to change the world, first change yourself!”
