Workshops and Events

This weekend we will continue our exploration about how a person of spirit lives a realized life as a human being by bringing our attention to the subject of maturity: what is real maturity and what is true integration? We will explore integrity and also respect as characteristics of the Personal Essence. As Hameed has noted, “True maturity is not possible within the realm of ego states, but requires a movement into the realm of Being.”

1. While the current Philadelphia DA Group is now closed to new members, any of you who have attended previous weekends are most welcome to come in February.
2. Reminder about future 2012 retreat dates: April 13-15, June 8-10, August, 3-5. Also our first extended retreat will be October 18-21.

Our teacher will be Carol Carbon, an ordained Diamond Approach teacher who has taught numerous Diamond Approach groups for decades. Carol is based in Boulder, CO.

Bhakti Yoga is an ancient spriitual method which uses our natural longing for the Divine as the means to awakening. The word "yoga" is a sanskrit word meaning to join in union, and bahkti means 'devotion' or simply 'love'. Connecting to our deep inner longing opens us to receive Grace. Traditionally, Bhakti Yoga is considered one of the fastest methods for awakening.

This two day process will include teachings as well as specially-designed contemplations to prepare participants for an extremely powerful Oneness Blessing, or Deeksha. We will introduce ancient Indian techniques to help participants awaken and deepen devotion through ritual. Oneness Bhakti Yoga is about your personal connection with the divine,  and opening up to Amma Bhagavan's help to facilitate making that connection.

This 2 day process involves preparatory teaching the first day to prepare for the optimum experience on the 2nd day. There will also be instruction in how to practice Oneness Bhakti Yoga on your own. By virtue of this you'll be able to develop a regular means of communing with your Divine.
