2024 Pranakriya Reunion
The weekend’s itinerary is rooted in the history, life story, practices, and tradition of Swami Kripalu.
This reunion differs from a “retreat” in that most meals are on your own, and you will set up your own accommodations. There are many accommodation options to choose from at different price points, and also many places to eat in Wilmington (or hit up the food co-op right near the studio where we will practice, and make your meals at your Air BnB!). This format allows you to customize your own experience here, and to spend time with others without always feeling you have to be in a group.
