dropped out of the world and into the Blessing-Grace of Bhagavan

in the heart of the northern Catskills (at the base of Windham
Mountain), the Windham Retreat Center is a beautiful private mansion
that affords the opportunity to drop out of your work-a-day life
into a serene setting conducive to relaxation, refreshment, and
rejuvenation.
The Adidam community invites you to join your East Coast/Eastern
Canada devotee and public friends for what is always a life-changing
event. Twice yearly, Adidam retreats are held at Windham Retreat
Center and each time the Gifts of Bhagavan Adi Da are most profoundly
given and received.

Responses to past Adidam retreats at Windham:
This was a very moving and heart-felt time in my life.
The exquisite art and chanting, the videos and Teaching
of Adi Da, the devotees hosting the retreat — all of this
beautified existence and moves me to a great depth of gratitude.

When I left that day
there was a definite transformational shift in me. Something opened, something
broke, something left, something came. What that something was, I don’t know.
I just know that it was the end of the end and the beginning of the beginning.
