FREE LIVESTREAM EVENT
Sunday, February 5th
9:00 am Pacific • 12:00 pm Eastern

Join us for a free satsang with Ramakrishna where he will introduce the process for connecting to the Divine Mother through the Sri Chakra Process.

The knowledge of the Sri Chakra is a core understanding of advanced spirituality. The Sri Chakra Yantra is the home of Mother Divine, it is the Mother’s energy structure and Her creation mechanism. Practicing these divine channels awakens the same creation energy within us so that we can use them. 

Understanding the Sri Chakra prepares you for the supreme stages of connecting directly to Mother Divine, having darshan of Her in both energetic and physical forms. 

Enlightenment, healing, consciousness, blessing the fulfillment of material and spiritual desires, the Asta Siddhis, Brahma Consciousness, Soul Astrology, and Soul traveling are all aspects of this system.

"For anyone who wants to win Mother Divine, even a powerful healer, saint, or siddha, has to go through the Sri Chakra. You need to be able to access the Sri Chakra’s energy, to carry that divine soul fragrance. Then your life becomes a beautiful gift to the world. You are then able to serve and fulfill the needs of those who come to you in a very powerful, effective way."                       

– Sri Kaleshwar

Ramakrishna Ananda

Ramakrishna teaching in Jesus Temple

Ramakrishna teaching during Shivaratri, Penukonda, India.

Ramakrishna spent 15 years living in India and studying at the feet of an enlightened master, Swami Kaleshwar. Sri Kaleshwar’s life mission was to release the top ancient knowledge that has been alive for thousands of years but kept hidden, being passed to only one or perhaps two students through a continuous lineage.  

Sri Kaleshwar said we are now entering the darkest part of the darkest age of humanity and that this needed knowledge belongs to humanity as a whole, not a select few.

Through sharing what he has learned Ramakrishna’s ambition is the same as Sri Kaleshwar’s: To spread this knowledge to help the world and to create spiritual masters, not students.

He offers online weekly satsangs, apprenticeship programs, spiritual counseling, power journeys to India, and in-person retreats at the center in Blanco, TX.

Sri Kaleshwar

Sri Kaleshwar Swami is a modern spiritual master in the lineage of Shirdi Sai Baba, Jesus Christ, Mother Mary, Babaji, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa and Ramana Maharshi. In 1998, Sri Kaleshwar received permission from the Divine Court of spiritual masters, including Shirdi Baba, Jesus, and Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, to teach Western students this knowledge.

Sri Kaleshwar said now is the time to make the ancient knowledge readily available to help heal the world’s suffering and transform the way spirituality is practiced on the planet

Enlightened as a boy, his mission was to reveal the ancient knowledge of the palm leaf manuscripts that up until then had been kept secret. The palm leaf manuscripts contained the mysteries of Creation, such as the mechanics of miracles and healing, how to create divine children, and numerous ways to achieve direct experiences with the divine. They contain sacred formulas that when correctly practiced awaken the incredible capability hidden within each soul.

“Every soul has the potential to reach the level of a Shirdi Baba or Jesus and contribute amazing things to the world.”   – Sri Kaleshwar

Online Celtic Spirituality Gathering: Celebrating May Day – Lá Bealtaine
Guided by Mary Meighan, founder of Celtic Journeys, live from Ireland – with songs & chants by Seán Johnson
(Time Zones: 11am-1:30pm Pacific/ noon-2:30pm Mountain/ 1-3:30pm Central/ 2-4:30pm Eastern)
Celtic Spirituality is the indigenous spirituality of Ireland. It is a gentle, nature based way of being that invites us to live from our heart.

The Fire Festival of Bealtaine signals early summer in the Celtic Calendar and is a time of fertility, vitality, abundance and renewal of outward activity. Step with us into the earthy mysticism of the Celtic Wisdom Tradition as we welcome the sun into our lives at this vital threshold, through honoring and connecting to the Celtic Spirit. This is shared through Celtic Ritual, Chants, Song, Story, Poetry, Blessings, and a Celtic Talk about what this time of year in the Celtic Calendar symbolises and how we may bring it into our homes and our lives. 

You are so welcome to join us as we journey through the Celtic Year, gathering together on Celtic Festival days, as we continue to move with the seasons and partake of the energy and tune into a sense of Celtic consciousness, kindling or re-kindling the Celtic Soul within us.
Le beannachtaí – with blessings
Whether you are someone who knows very little and is curious about how the living spiritual tradition of Celtic Spirituality can nourish our lives; someone who has always been inspired by the Celtic world; or someone who has ancestry from the Celtic world who wishes to deepen your connection to those roots– all are welcome.
Mary Meighan, a native of Ireland, is the founder of Celtic Journeys who offers soul journeys steeped within her native Celtic Spiritual Tradition. Mary has traveled to sacred sites across Ireland for decades renewing, sustaining, and sharing her passion for the Celtic world. She also visits the U.S. and other countries introducing Celtic Spirituality through talks and retreats, sharing her lived experience of this mystical and earthy Spirituality. Mary will be joining the immersion live from her home in Ireland.
Seán Johnson is a singer, songwriter, storyteller, and teacher of spirituality and yoga. He is the founder of Wild Lotus Yoga, Soul School Teacher Training Program, and The Wild Lotus Band. Seán’s love of Ireland and Celtic Spirituality goes back to his childhood, and he did an intensive undergraduate program in Irish Studies. He has traveled to Ireland over a dozen times to deepen his connection to his ancestral homeland.
Mary and Seán have been dear friends for many years and have guided many retreats together in Ireland and the USA. 

They are delighted to share these online gatherings, honoring the major Celtic Festivals within the seasons of the Celtic Calendar, exploring how these ancient holidays can enrich our souls and deepen our connection with life.

"Seán and Mary have been friends for years, and this shows in the ease with which they work together. They present us with an array of tools and possibilities for diving into Celtic Spirituality, as each session follows the Celtic seasonal calendar. Mary brings a lifetime steeped in the tradition, and in her easy conversational style, shares poems, stories, mythology, and leads simple and profound rituals, in which we all participate from our homes. Indeed, the whole experience is like being in good company by the fireside. Seán’s gorgeous voice touches the deepest parts of our nature, as he invites us to join him in the singing of chants and songs. He’ll often sing in Irish. These afternoons are wonderful, helping us merge our daily lives into a timeless connection with Celtic wisdom and earthiness."  — Heather Dotterweich

The Shadow is that part of you that remains unknown, yet influences every part of your life.
 
However, the Shadow isn’t bad—it’s just hidden. And since it’s hidden, its contents unconsciously affect your mood and behaviors, often wreaking havoc and causing suffering in your life.
 
When you bring your Shadow into the light, it no longer has that kind of unchecked power over you.
 
In Facing Your Shadow, you’ll explore how to uncover the hidden parts of yourself and see the secret forces at play in the world. You’ll learn to:
 
• Heal and transform the parts of yourself that keep causing the same negative patterns

• Reveal your hidden archetypes and better understand their connection to the Shadow

• Unearth new strengths, insights, and wisdom—there’s buried treasure in the Shadow too

• See our collective Shadows and break free from the systems that keep you docile and disempowered

• Step into your sacred calling and make a difference in a world that needs you now
 
When you commit to doing the work in Facing Your Shadow, you become fully empowered to create a life of purpose, joy, and meaning.
 
Now is the time to fully know yourself and bring your light to the world.

A Labor of Love…

This benefit event is co-organized by Ashoka Nalamalapu, the founder of Swan Kirtan.

Ashoka notes, “I am so touched that the Kirtan and yoga community are stepping up for Mother India. I have never seen such devastation and suffering in the land of my birth and it’s truly imperative that anyone who has been touched by the Indian spirituality of Kirtan (chanting), yoga, dharma, and meditation offer what they can to help the country and people who brought these beautiful and meaningful spiritual practices to the world.”

The present moment is the place from which your entire reality is created. Your relationships, home life, work, and experiences all spring forth from your thoughts, feelings, and actions that occur in a string of infinite moments. However, most of us live our lives running from task to task, distraction to distraction. We wake up each morning with an endless list of “to-dos” and go to sleep feeling like we didn’t accomplish anything meaningful. We meet and interact with many people throughout our day but yearn for a deeper sense of connection and intimacy. We are tossed around by the ups and downs of our emotions and the events of our lives and accept this as “normal.”  

And even though we have the intention to take time for ourselves and to meditate, these often get put at the bottom of our lists because life simply takes over … but it doesn’t have to be this way. When you understand the transformative, healing power of mindful awareness, you dramatically shift the experience of your life, the people in it, and the world itself.

Note: The previous release of this course was titled Getting Unstuck: The Freedom to Choose Something Different.

Living from a Place of Surrender is the first ever online course with Michael A. Singer, New York Times bestselling author.

One of the greatest lessons you will learn here is that trying to achieve happiness by “getting what you want” is actually limiting your happiness. You end up struggling with life instead of experiencing it. True happiness comes only when your inner energy is free to flow. That unhampered flow is, indeed, the goal of this course.  

We will see that the most effective personal growth technique is to use life to remove your inner blockages, not compensate for them.  

In this course, you’ll learn about your true relationship to the world unfolding around you and to the thoughts and emotions arising within you. But most importantly, you will come into touch with the real “you”—the indwelling consciousness that is witnessing it all.  

The intention of this course is to change your entire perspective of life. Every session will challenge you to go beyond yourself.

This is an Evergreen course, so you can promote it at any time. 

The Program Includes

Eight transformational video-learning sessions with the author of The Untethered Soul – more than nine hours of intensive teachings over eight weeks  

A private online journal and questions for reflection—powerful tools for integrating the teachings from the course into your daily life  

Three special bonus offerings:

“The Untethered Soul at Work: Ten Teachings to Transform Your Work Life”—Michael A. Singer presents ten practical audio sessions for applying the insights in his bestselling book within the context of business and the office environment. 

“Spiritual Activism: The Path of Accepting and Serving Reality”—Many of us at this time feel called to engage in social activism. Yet where do we begin? In this 43-minute audio teaching, Michael discusses the intersection of spirituality and activism, the power of acceptance, seeing things clearly, and more.

Give the Gift of Surrender: One-For-One Matching Program When you purchase the Living from a Place of Surrender online course, the Sounds True Foundation will donate one free course membership to an individual who wouldn’t otherwise have access.
