A truly magnificent tree

We had finished lunch at The Expanding Light Retreat and were headed back to the Temple of Light parking lot when this magnificent tree stopped me in my tracks. It was just too beautiful to pass by.

Isn’t autumn wonderful?!?

What an accomplishment!

Hats off to the team who were inspired by a vision, put out tons of energy, and manifested an absolutely wonderful Harvest Festival here at Ananda Village!

I couldn’t go during the day, but attended the Farm-to-Table dinner at The Expanding Light Retreat in the evening, which was a huge success as well.

I love my community. ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿ˜Š

Exciting news

I’m happy to give a shout out to The Expanding Light Retreat and Springtime at Ananda (in Crystal Hermitage Gardens), which are both reopening after being closed the past two years due to the pandemic.

There are two upcoming programs I want to mention in particular, because — surprise, surprise — there’s some wonderful music on offer!

First is an Easter weekend retreat, which will include our first performance of Swami Kriyananda’s Oratorio in the Temple of Light at Ananda Village. Although the choir will be small in numbers, it will still be a powerful experience!

The following weekend is a special Springtime at Ananda retreat, featuring the Joy Singers in a pre-dinner concert in the gardens.

If you’re looking for an uplifting, nurturing, spiritual weekend, I’d love to see you at one of these events!
