ORIGINAL INTIMACY: SOUL PILGRIMAGE TO FIVE AUSPICIOUS HEALING SHRINES
Satsang Series with Yogacharya Ellen Grace O'BrianFebruary 13 / March 13 / April 10 / May 15 / June 12"I am the wetness of water, the radiance of the moon and the sun, the sound in the air, and the sweet fragrance of earth.
I am the brilliance in fire and the life in all beings." —Bhagavad Gita
There is a light that is lighting all life, a breath that is breathing all, vibrant rivers coursing through our veins and the valleys we see, space expanding in the galaxies and in our minds. The Five Auspicious Shrines are sacred portals for healing that connect us to the great web of life, return us to original intimacy, and restore us to wholeness. This soul journey is the one we have been waiting for—a pilgrimage not in the world, or of it, but as it.

Discover Unbounded Delight—the Freedom of Wholeness | June 12, 2022
Space allows all the other elements to arise. It is the most subtle, invisible field—an opening for possibility on all levels, physical, mental, and spiritual. Our need for space is fundamental, it allows us to accommodate all that arises and passes away. To be spacious is to be open to what is without undue attachment or aversion. In that space, is the soul’s joy.

The Supreme Good is Like Water: Cultivate Humility, Perseverance, and Flow | March 13, 2022
Water purifies, heals, and transforms. Our thirst naturally draws us to its life-supporting power and our soul is soothed by its energy as rain, mist, ocean waves, or river songs. In nature, water flows to low places, gathers its power, and nurtures life. As a guru and divine companion, water shows us how to realize our soul power and become a nurturing presence. Its message: learn how to let go.
