COMMUNITY EVENTS

Our events are more than gatherings — they are opportunities to come together, heal, and remember that we are not alone.

In a world that often feels overwhelming and disconnected, we offer a sacred space where hearts unite, spirits are lifted, and true transformation is possible.

Here, community isn’t just a word—it’s the foundation for deep connection, support, and collective healing.

Join us, and experience the power of belonging as we walk this path together.

THAT WHICH COLORS THE MIND: An evening of North Indian Classical Music & Art

Friday, May 22nd 7-8:30 pm

Join us for an evening of North Indian classical music, immersive listening and art. This event features Pat Lambdin on the sarod, a 25-string Indian lute. Pat is a dedicated student of Pandit Shivnath Mishra and travels regularly to India for ongoing study. 

Julie MacAdam will open the evening with a guided meditation to support the body and mind in receiving the gifts of this music. Drawing on her work as a somatic therapist and educator, Julie will offer a gentle framework for listening that invites presence and embodied awareness.

Local artists will also be joining us, sharing their creative gifts alongside the unfolding of an intimate improvisational performance. 

A raga - often translated as "that which colors the mind" - is a melodic framework used in North Indian classical music. Each raga carries it's own unique fragrance, feeling and mood and it's rendering is a delicate and nuanced process which can never be repeated in the same way twice.

ENERGY MASTERS WITH GURUJI: An evening of Release + Transform with a living master from India.

Friday, May 29th | 6:00-8:30 pm

Join Shree Guru Bhaneshwaranand as he maps the 8 paths to energy mastery and explores the invisible forces at work across the 5 sheaths of the soul. He helps each person discover which of the three universal energies is most alive in them: Wisdom, Wealth, or Strength. Then he shows them how to consciously develop and work with it.

 His work draws on Vedic healing traditions - practices passed quietly from teacher to student for centuries, never commercialized, never diluted. They work not just on the body but on the subtle layers beneath it, restoring harmony between the individual and the greater whole. 

Maybe you recognize something in this. You’ve done the work. You’ve studied, practiced, searched. Real moments of clarity have come. And yet there are still areas of your life that don’t reflect the energy you know is inside you. Health, love, creative power. You keep pushing when your body is asking you to stop. You doubt your own guidance.

A lack of energy, love, and success in our outer life is not random. It reflects an inner energetic imbalance in the subtle layers surrounding the soul. Guruji has spent his life learning how to work with exactly that.

His work is not religious. It is not tied to any tradition or lineage. It is open to everyone.
