2026 SRF Monastic-Conducted Silent Meditation Retreat

"Entering the Silence: Deepening Our Communion with God"
September 11-13, 2026 — Khalsa Centre (Miracle Valley), Mission, B.C.

Vancouver Meditation Group Silent Retreat 2026

Conducted by SRF monks: Brother Vidurananda & Brahmachari Leonardo

This year (2026), we once again hold our retreat at the Khalsa Centre (Miracle Valley), Mission, B.C. This is a blessed opportunity to withdraw from daily life and dive more deeply into Paramahansa Yogananda’s teachings through meditation, silence, and fellowship with other devotees.

This beautiful facility bordering on lakes and enveloped in majestic woods, offers a blessed opportunity to go deep within. The spiritual atmosphere, quiet locale, tasty vegetarian meals and simple-but-clean rooms – make this a serene and ideal place to experience peace and inner upliftment. We hope you can join us.

The program will include:

  • Individual and group meditations
  • Long meditations with kirtan
  • Inspirational videos and services
  • Meditation technique review class (for SRF Lessons students and kriyabans)
  • Periods of silence and reflection
  • Nourishing vegetarian meals (vegan and gluten free options available)
  • Accommodation (2 nights)

Note: This is an adult-only retreat (18+). We’re unable to accommodate minors at this event.
