2026 Golden Lotus Spring Banquet

A Special Event

“With your organizational power you can do something much greater, much more lasting, much easier, and much more secure than present day business organization in which one works to pay taxes, ruining his health and happiness.”

~ Paramahansa Yogananda
(in a letter to Yogacharya, dated May 11, 1951)

You’re invited to the Annual Golden Lotus Yoga Banquet.

Hosted by the Golden Lotus Yoga Teachers Association, this cherished tradition dates back to the early roots of Song of the Morning Yoga & Meditation Retreat and formally began in 1975 under the guidance of Yogacharya Oliver Black. Yogacharya valued creating special occasions where yogis near and far could gather for an evening “out on the town” in loving support of the Retreat Center.

The banquet offers a beautiful opportunity to dress up, share a delicious meal, and be inspired by guest speakers, music, and meaningful community connection.
