Types of Centers

Ananda communities are comprised of a residential area for members and a nearby temple, and often have a school and other Ananda-affiliated businesses. They offer a variety of regular classes and spiritual services.

Teaching centers offer classes, services, workshops, and retreats.

Meditation groups hold regular meetings. They may be small and meet in the homes of members or larger and meet in more public spaces such as yoga studios.

Online classes happen around the world and in multiple languages.

Retreats offer workshops, certifications, and time for spiritual growth and renewal. Visiting a retreat is a wonderful way to recharge your spiritual life.
