Meditation and Sermon on the Mount

Join us for the Christmas Holiday as we study about Meditation and Sermon on the Mount in Yoga and Vedanta philosophy. It is said that the Sermon on the Mount represents both Christ’s teachings and the teachings of Vedanta – that Unity or Oneness lies within the diversity of all Creation.

We will have daily afternoon workshops on Christ’s Sermon on the Mount and classical Vedanta philosophy, related readings during Satsangs, group Labyrinth walks and personal time for contemplation.

A special Christmas Feast and Celebration will take place December 24 in the evening.
