Yoga for Peace 2018 - the pending Birth of Divine Grace Yoga Ashram

Dear friends, this year Prema will remain docked at Divine Grace Yoga Ashram in Verde Valley, Arizona for all but a week or so - I'll do very little travel and hold this space for the Divine in all. Having said this, I'm about to depart for YogaFest Michigan, and then through summer and fall we will be holding four "Be Still and Know" Silent Weekend Retreats. I'll be visiting our friends at two spiritual communities in Arizona. As far as I know now here is the full travel schedule for this year - along with links to the events. You are welcome to all, most of the programs are donation only. Of course you are also more than welcome here at beautiful DGYA. Please note that we will not be able to offer the regular Facebook Live Satsangs and classes while I'm traveling, but I'll do my best to broadcast what I can to support your keeping of satsanga. Thank you, bless you. July 26 - 29          Yoga Fest Michigan, at Song of the Morning Yoga Retreat

We have a property under contract, God willing it will close in early March and Divine Grace Yoga Ashram will have its home. It has been amazing to be a part of this project as it has been taking shape - the Ashram Board of Directors has come together so beautifully, there are many bright souls supporting this project within and surrounding the board. Today marks my fourth week in Sedona - and tomorrow evening the fifth Satsang with our dear friends at Chocolatree. The property that has been selected for us (truly I cannot say that we have selected it!) is perfect for the project. It is located in Cottonwood, approximately 15 miles and 20 minutes west of Sedona, and within two hours of Phoenix (dependent upon traffic). The land is approximately 1.5 acres, includes a house with a large gre

Dearest friends, these paths of ours are truly amazing. There is no stasis in this world, no stability, from one moment to the next the entire universe shifts and changes. Pulsing, vibrating, dancing - each atom, every being, even space itself is vitally alive and in perpetual motion. Countless galaxies and universes, infinite civilizations, each inhaling and exhaling stardust, each expressing the eternal Life. In this never ending motion we seek stability, peace, joy, satisfaction. This quest seems never ending - we are told birth after birth we go on searching for happiness, that we have taken birth countless times, each time evolving towards that ineffable source, the begininingless beginning and the endless end. Then, through self effort and grace, we finally come to the place of peace. The mind becomes one pointed and begins its merger with That infinite, and longing ceases. The footfall on the steps becomes secure and the way is now known. The world does not stop but the m
