​Urban Ashram Fall Immersion 2018

Join us in diving deeply into the wisdom and compassionate teachings of yoga and meditation. During turbulent times, transformation is being called from within. To wisely rise into our life horizons, we seek community, tranquility, curiosity, and courage.
​
If your life has been nudging you to more deeply understand or transform, now is the time. The teachings of yoga, and its indwelling philosophy and psychology on love, grace, and interbeing, deeply penetrate and nourish each of us.  The ancient traditions have all recommended practicing in dedicated communities.

Are you interested in connecting with your community,
meeting like-minded truth-seekers,
and building lasting relationships?
~
Do you seek a deeper understanding of yoga philosophy
and the practices and applications of pranayama and meditation?
~
Do you want to expand your awareness by delving into an exploration of Mindfulness?​

​Ancient practices are still relevant in contemporary times.
Many of us are experiencing the turbulences and fears of our larger community (and our own). While Yoga recommends becoming part of the solution, it also recommends more deeply stabilizing in our essence, in tranquility and wisdom. From this place, our lives radiate calm and refuge for our family and friends. More grounded community members make for better change agents. Join us for a time of deepening our practices, infusing our resilience and fortitude (dhruti and kshama), and lessening anxiety or fear.

In our Urban Ashram Immersion, join us to deepen your understanding and lived expression of the yogic teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda, Ekanth Easwaran, and Anthony de Mello.
​
Transformational teachers and leaders in spiritual communities, in India and in the West, the teachings of each of these awakened beings are still relevant today. Specifically, we’ll draw on the Yogananda and Easwaran’s Bhagavad Gita translations and commentaries, Strength in the Storm, and The Way to Love. We’ll read their offerings, seeking to embody their wisdom in our practice and in our lives. These teachers forged frontiers that influenced generations of practitioners.
