Clear Light Community Day

…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.

Each year, we gather as a community to reflect, reconnect, and explore how this sacred vision continues to unfold in our lives and in the growth of Clear Light. Community Day offers a special opportunity to come together in fellowship, to learn more about our ever evolving community, and to share in the inspiration of what is yet to come.

This year’s gathering will include time together for meaningful connection, special activities within the community, and opportunities to learn more about the ongoing growth and future of Clear Light. More details will be shared soon, but we hope you will plan to join us for this uplifting day of fellowship, inspiration, and joyful community spirit.
