How to share with you the gift that my journey to India was? It's not really possible, other than to say that it left a deep impression in my heart. In the above photo, you see the river Ganga just upstream from Rishikesh, including the Sacha Dham ashram right by the beach (center left), where ShantiMayi gives satsang when she is in India.
The below photo captures the in your face quality of the experience, full of contrasts and powerful sensory input, including the ever present dust and noise of barking dogs and honking cars and motor bikes (thank you to Fred Bastide for the photos):
I went to satsang with a small number of nondual teachers who were in Rishikesh at the time, all of them unique in their expression of Truth/Love. It was beautiful, and the most precious gift, to experience them directly, rather than via the internet. What cannot be captured in photos is the sacred, deep silence and simple, sweet open-heartedness that are such an intimate part of the experience there and that melt one's heart and mind.
Next online conversation: ShantiMayi
I so much enjoyed and appreciated the freshness and depth of ShantiMayi's teachings, including the Sacha lineage that she carries, that I wanted to bring her to you online. Our conversation, on the theme of 'The Mind Is Not Our Enemy', will be on Sunday, 2 April, at 9am PDT, 12pm EDT, 5pm UK, 6 pm Europe, and 9.30pm India. Please note the unusual time, as Shantimayi will be joining us from Rishikesh. More info about this event and about Shantimayi on the Living from Love homepage. More online events are in the planning stage, and I will keep you posted once they're settled.

Online groups
Two new online groups will begin in April:
Two new online groups will begin in April:
- A monthly Awakening as Love group will start on Monday, 10 April 2017. This group is like a once-a-month small group satsang where you have the sacred opportunity and support to inquire into your experience to reveal what is True, the Love that you are. More info HERE.
- A Healing and Awakening 6-week group program will start on Tuesday, 18 April 2017. This is a more sustained and intensive context in which to bring whatever feels unhealed in your life to the light of loving inquiry. If you appreciated the Healing and Awakening retreat last December, you might find this group interesting. More info HERE.
SAND online webinar

This webinar will start on Sunday, 9 April 2017. More info about this on the SAND website.
