How to Launch Your Spiritual Life

2-day weekend

There are no dates currently scheduled.

Here is a beautiful opportunity to re-fill your heart with divine love, and re-inspire your quest for truth and goodness. This weekend, led by Durga Smallen and Mangala Loper-Powers, will be a time for re-awakening a feeling of devotion for God, in the form of Mother.

In the West, the qualities of will power and achievement can sometimes overshadow the quieter feminine attributes of compassion, intuitive listening, openness, and receptivity. These feminine attributes are essential to the soul’s journey toward wisdom and freedom. It is why Nayaswami Kriyananda has spoken often of the importance nowadays of relating to God as Mother. Kriyananda says:

“Think of God as the Infinite Mother in every atom, in every cloud, in your own heart, everywhere. Think of that mother aspect of the Infinite Consciousness that created and loves every single being in this universe because every being is a part of the Infinite One. If you love the Mother in that way, if you love God in that way, then you will find a remarkably sweet relationship developing in which you have a real awareness, not just an imagination, that Mother is always with you. She watches over you, takes care of you, and hears the yearnings of your heart.”

The weekend will include:

• Discussion of the divine feminine and how we can make it part of our very real deadlines and daily pressures
• A guided silent nature experience, followed by afternoon tea, sharing, and blessing ceremony
• Devotional Kirtan with chants to the Divine Mother
• The opportunity for daily Energization Exercises, yoga postures, and meditation; and for attending Ananda’s Sunday Service and Purification Ceremony

Join us for this marvelous opportunity to strengthen your own divine motherly qualities for a richer, more satisfying life.
