Evening Silent Period
10pm is the curfew for talking in tents and cabins. Because tents and cabins have thin walls we’re asking everyone to please respect other people’s attempts at getting to sleep early so they can get up at 6am with a smile on their face. If you want to socialize later than 10pm there will be a designated area away from sleeping people.
“The path of Karma Yoga or selfless service develops equanimity of the mind. It always purifies the mind by weakening selfish desires, attachment and ego. So a Karma Yogi’s effort will never be a waste of time and energy. By its regular practice, one can attain liberation.”
-Baba Hari Dass
