Monastic Visits & Special Events

Each year Self–Realization Fellowship monks and nuns visit our center to help fulfill the ever-growing demand for Paramahansa Yogananda's soul-liberating teachings. They conduct inspirational programs, group meditations, kirtan chanting, and meet/greet devotees as well. 

SRF MONASTIC-LED RETREAT

NOVEMBER 7TH - 9TH, 2025 

We are pleased to announce that Self-Realization Fellowship monastics will be conducting a regional silent retreat at Lake Junaluska, NC on the weekend of November 7th thru 9th, 2025!

Retreat programs provide, in the words of Paramahansa Yogananda, "... a dynamo of silence where you may go for the exclusive purpose of being recharged by the Infinite."

REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED!

The monastic-led SRF Retreat at Lake Junaluska is now full. If you wish to be placed on a waiting list in case of cancellation, please send by email your request with either an attachment with the registration form or provide the information on the registration form in the email. We will notify you if an opening occurs by October 24th or before.
 
For Waitlist Registration:
Do not mail, send a check, or use PayPal unless we contact you to say that we have an opening available.
 
Those who have previously mailed a registration with payment postmarked before 9/19/25 will be contacted to inform you if you are a confirmed attendee or if you will be placed at the top of the waitlist.

Thank you again to all the devotees for your interest in the retreat. We regret if there are some who wanted to attend,  but we could not accommodate. The enthusiastic response to this retreat is heartwarming and inspiring. The Atlanta Center looks forward to hosting SRF Regional Retreats again in the near future.
