Meditation Retreats

I wanted to offer a 'special thanks' for your care, concern and Love for us all. Where else does one go to consider things like forgiveness, generosity, virtue, reflection on what constitutes a meaningful life? It is a rare experience (and I am witnessing it being a treasured one) to see what might really be going on, that we don’t know, and that might just raise enough consciousness to allow for Love to prevail...not the body/mind. 'Tis a fine, fine thing you do for us. Just wanted to express my gratitude and Love. ~ Alfrieda, CA

ENTERING INTO THE LIGHT

November 11-15, 2024 – Mt Madonna, CA

We will enter into the last phase of the Pluming Meditations, combining them all together in a form that will be the structure for the rest of our days in the Practice. You are invited to enter into the Light with Siraj…to the place where inner peace lives. We have lived many years through Workshops and Retreats to be exposed to this sacred experience.

You are the Light of this world.

If you are planning to be with us, it is imperative that you are with Siraj at one of the Workshops in September, in either Carmel or Encinitas. During these important events, Siraj will offer insights that are essential for each student to consider in order to prepare for the November Retreat.

This will be our last Retreat at Mt. Madonna as they are changing course due to the financial complexities of their organization. As both Mt Madonna and Aspire enter new beginnings, we offer our deepest gratitude for all we have been allowed to share with them.
