Spiritual Refresh 2019
Retreat is a natural part of life. Each day the darkness retreats as the light rises, and each night the light retreats as the darkness rises. Each month and each day, year-round, the tide also comes in and then retreats, and falls back again. In fact, the etymological origins of the word “retreat” come from the Old French word “retret,” which means to “draw back,” or to “call back.” And yet, how often do you meaningfully, and regularly, “retreat” from your everyday life in order to go inward and address the needs of your soul?
The need for retreat is one of the most basic ingredients of spiritual life, and yet frequently it is lacking due to overextending ourselves in too many directions at once. This is exactly why Vaish is passionate about providing opportunities for people to “draw back” from the daily grind and reconnect with spirit.
We are excited to announce the 2019 Spiritual Refresh! This is a great opportunity to unplug and recharge physically, mentally and spiritually.

My Story
Vaisesika recalls being intrigued by the mysteries of life as a young boy, but feeling frustrated in his attempts to make sense out of it all. As he searched for answers, nothing satisfied his thirst for wisdom – until his life took an unexpected turn as a teenager.
Disillusioned with the depth of knowledge offered by popular culture, Vaisesika renounced worldly pursuits and became a monk at the age of fifteen.
