Dear Friends,
This fall we’re holding our first sitting meditation retreat since before the pandemic! Come receive instruction in nondual forms of meditation and then sit with us. We’ll have satsang and kirtan each evening of the retreat.
And if you’ve never been to a Jaya Kula satsang, I encourage you to show up or stream in any Sunday at 3:30pm Pacific. These are really special gatherings of laughter, tears, intimacy, relaxation, irreverent reverence, and song. I’ve put the Zoom link at the end of this newsletter. Hope to see you this fall!
with infinite love 💞,
Shambhavi

Meditation Harvest Retreat
OCTOBER 26-29 with Shambhavi Sarasvati
Live in Portland
Harvest time is when we cut down what has grown and, through that process of destruction, receive nourishment. Join Shambhavi and the Jaya Kula community for a traditional sitting meditation retreat. We sit through the destruction of conceptual life and dualistic vision into the nourishment of the supreme state. Each evening we will gather for satsang and kirtan.
Instruction in Shamatha meditation and non-conceptual meditation will be provided.
