Clear Light Community Day: “Growing into the Future”

“…Master laid out my work and pointed out just what he wanted me to do, and foretold what would happen…”

~Yogacharya reflecting on Paramahansaji’s World Colony vision

All are welcome to join us as we celebrate our blossoming World Brotherhood Community! The extraordinary vision of Paramahansa Yogananda and Yogacharya Oliver Black laid the very foundation upon which our Community for spiritual seekers is being built.
This year we will gather in the Wheelhouse for some words from our dear friend Naren before we set out on our activities for the day. We will then drive into the community to visit a couple of our newer houses to hear how those houses came to be. Next will be Naren’s dedication of the site for our future Community Center. And last of all, we have all been invited by Karen Epperson to join her for time to socialize together and enjoy some light refreshments.

Lodging Fee: By clicking the Register Now button, you’ll be able to pay for your lodging (includes meals). For commuters, there is a “meals only” option. To support this weekend as a time of community gathering, we are offering discounted accommodations for Clear Light Community members who live further away because we want you to be here with us! Simply reach out to our office to receive a discount code to be applied for your stay. If you need a further reduced rate to make your journey possible, please contact office@songofthemorning.org!
