* LOCATION:
Creekstone Inn
54950 Pine Crest Avenue
Idyllwild, CA 92549

Conveniently located 20 minutes southwest of Palm Springs and 2 hours east of Los Angeles, the retreat site was personally chosen by Swami Premodaya as the ideal expression conducive to his transmission of sacred spiritual energy.

* PROGRAM:
The preciousness of life, the reality of god, the truth of being, the infinite and eternal here/now, and the divine sacred nature of all that is—cannot be spoken, written, or even grasped by the human mind. It can only be revealed and personally experienced.

Instead of struggling with the ego and grappling with all your conditionings, strategies, and limited perceptions—Swami Premodaya invites you to step directly into the lucid awareness of the vast and unending divine reality— which is beyond all joys or sorrows, beyond any beliefs or ideas, beyond this body and its apparent life and death, and even beyond the most exquisite experiences or states of mind. When the sacred nature of life is contacted, only love and gratitude remain—flowering perennially within a life characterized by ever more surrender to truth and ever more palpable communion with the divine—and by selfishness transforming into selflessness.

* ACCOMMODATIONS:
Includes 4 days and 4 nights; double occupancy; rooms and roommates will be assigned based on theBODHIcenter's space management needs. Personal preferences will be taken into account, but cannot be guaranteed.

Creekstone Inn is a luxury mountain lodge located in the alpine resort village of Idyllwild. Nestled in the San Bernardino National Forest, of the San Jacinto mountains, the lodge is walking distance to the center of town, with its numerous shops and restaurants. It is equally central to the hiking trails, ski areas, and nature attractions that have made Idyllwild a favored destination for summer and winter vacationers alike.

The Bodhi Center has reserved the entire lodge for our exclusive use, including all the well-appointed rooms with private bath, spacious fireside livingroom/lobby, gourmet industrial kitchen, sit-down dining room, covered patios and open decks, billiard room, and many other outstanding first class amenities to support maximum relaxation and enjoyment, as well as provide an inspiring and serene environment for the retreat.
