Seduction of Spirit is a rare opportunity to step away from the constant demands on our attention – the emails, text messages, phone calls, meetings, errands, and conferences – and dive into the stillness and silence that flows beneath life’s chaotic surface.
This beautiful retreat is about slowing down and tuning into the peace of present moment awareness. Through the practice of Primordial Sound Meditation, Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga, and other timeless tools, you will begin to:
- Deepen your meditation practice
- Reconnect with your deepest dreams and desires
- Move beyond limiting conditioned beliefs
- Tap into your hidden inner reserves and potential
- Appreciate the gifts of your life as it unfolds
- Let go of the struggle and achieve more by doing less
- Experience the mind-body harmony of yoga
- Release the stress and obstacles to balanced living
In a supportive group of like-minded individuals, Deepak Chopra and other Chopra Center master educators will guide you Primordial Sound Meditation, Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga, visualizations, creative activities, and discussions that will help you move from constriction to expansion, from fear to love, and from heaviness to happiness.
Many participants return year after year to enjoy meditative bliss and a lifetime of friendships with like-minded individuals from around the globe. Graduates of Seduction of Spirit are also eligible to attend Seduction of Silence, our most intimate silent meditation retreat, where you will learn advanced meditation techniques and attend small group sessions with Deepak Chopra.
Join us and give yourself permission to accept the sweet and gentle energy of Seduction of Spirit.

–Ann, Florida
"I encourage everyone who wants to deepen their meditation and healing to give yourself this gift. My meditation practice usually consists more of 'letting go of thoughts' than actually slipping into the gap. However, when I combine them with the sutra practice I learned at Seduction of Spirit, they are incredible. I've had a couple of experiences where my awareness was so expanded I felt as though I had been touched by Grace – and probably was."
―Susan
"This week has made me very very happy. I can only look forward to the rest of my life, thank you for this gift."
―Kevin, Ireland
"My own personal cell restructuring journey had led me to: changing jobs, severing relationships, and jumping out into life and the realm of all possibilities. The Seduction validated my path because now I value and relish and luxuriate in the powers lying deep within myself and the communion with all that is. What joy and ease and celebration life is when it is as it should be. The synchronicities are like Orville Redenbacher popcorn! Now I take each day as a wonderful opportunity and ride the updraft. What a ride!!! Thank you!"
―Kimberly
"I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to all the staff members for the inspiring, wonderful, and loving Seduction of the Spirit seminar. Imprinted in my heart when I left was, 'Honor the value of who you are, Be the value of what you are and Know the value of why you are here.' Thank you all very much from the bottom of my heart!"
―Patricia, Netherlands
"Words like 'remarkable,' 'amazing,' and 'nourishing' don't even come close to capturing the essence of a week at Seduction of Spirit. Everyone could benefit from this, regardless of age, health, current state of mind or any other factors."
―Melanie, California
"Seduction has facilitated my journey in the most profound ways ― not like being hit on the head but more like being touched by a feather. Thank you all for a wonderful experience."

Thank you all!"
―Melissa, Massachusetts
"My life has been changed! I have found the path I want to continue on for the rest of my life . . . my Dharma."
