Peace and Inner Freedom is a one-day retreat designed to address the desire we all have to find inner peace and to create peaceful lives.

The path to inner freedom is through deepening our meditation, which can bring us to the clear light at the center of our true nature.  The serenity and silence that we are able to experience there is alive with peaceful presence.

Ms Stratton will guide participants into a series of meditations that will quiet the mind, relax the body, calm the emotions, and open a place of inner stillness and peace that is always accessible.  After each meditation, Roop Verma, sitar master, will play music that deepens and illuminates the healing essence of the meditation.

 

Elizabeth K. Stratton, M.S. is the director of the Touching Spirit Center LLC in Litchfield, CT, and the creator of the Touching Spirit Training Program. She is a pastoral counselor who has been in private practice since 1976. Touching Spirit and Seeds of Light, both published by Simon and Schuster, contain many of the healing meditations she has created.

Roop Verma is a world-renowned Indian Sitar player; a master of the healing sounds of Indian Classical and Sacred Music, a brilliant concert performer, composer and teacher of meditation.  He is the director of The East-West School of Music in Monroe, NY, plays concerts and gives Nada Yoga Intensive retreats throughout the year around the world.
