Seduction of Spirit: Music and Meditation with LIVE musical performances
April 22–28, 2012 La Costa Resort & Spa, Carlsbad, California
The theme of this April’s Seduction of Spirit is Music and Meditation.
Music evokes our soul’s essence and deepest passions; meditation transports us to the inner quiet and wisdom that resides within. Experiencing both of these beautiful tools and practices away from the noisy demands of modern life will open you to unimaginable gifts of inner and outer transformation.
Since ancient times, music and meditation have been foundational practices in many of the world’s sacred and healing traditions, helping people awaken to higher states of consciousness, healing, and bliss.
This April’s Seduction of Spirit: Music and Meditation is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the gifts of these complementary practices, as you commune with the divine music in your heart and the inner silence of your soul.
A variety of musical experiences will be woven into each day’s activities. Here are just a few of the highlights:
– Each evening, we will celebrate with a different musical artist, including a performance of sacred music by world-renowned singer Snatum Kaur, an interactive musical journey led by Chants and Drums, and many other unique and talented performers.
– Deepen the union of your body, mind, and spirit with live music at the daily Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga classes – including the beautiful artistry of Beth Nielsen Chapman, an Emmy award-winning songwriter and musician
– Relax with lunchtime concerts as you savor delicious Ayurvedic meals and enjoy the company of like-minded music lovers and meditators.
If you love music and want to experience its inextricable connection to meditation and spiritual awakening, this Seduction of Spirit is the perfect retreat for you.

This April’s Seduction of Spirit will feature a special event with Russell Targ, who is a pioneering laser physicist and well-known author of several books investigating psychic abilities and Buddhist approaches to the transformation of consciousness – including the practice of meditation. Russell will lead participants in an interactive exploration for tapping into their own power of extrasensory perception (ESP).
In The Reality of ESP: A Physicist’s Proof of Psychic Abilities, Russell Targ shares his comprehensive scientific research to provide convincing evidence that by quieting our minds we can access information in the field of potentiality where there is no distance in space and time. ~Deepak Chopra
