Nama Retreat

8 lectures

This retreat explores the intersection of spiritual psychology and devotional practice, focusing on how the false ego and material emotions act as barriers to pure chanting. The sessions provide a detailed breakdown of the mechanics of consciousness, the five components of emotion in bhakti, and the transformative power of sharanagati, or surrender. These teachings were presented in 2017 as a comprehensive seminar for practitioners seeking to deepen their meditation. Through guided exercises like bhuta-shuddhi and scriptural analysis, the content guides listeners toward purifying their identity and aligning their emotional life with their eternal spiritual purpose.
