The ancient yoga scriptures and science itself teach us that everything comes into being and is sustained through the instrumentality of vibration.
The yogi sages call this vibration AUM. It is a force that underlies all of material creation in its vibratory form. This conscious force permeates all of nature in a melody of love, joy, peace, calmness, light, sound and truth. As aspiring yogis we can commune with this powerful vibration which can lead us back into the unified field of Divine Consciousness.
This primordial vibration underlies all of creation. The great saints say that Aum is the melody of love. It is this divine stream of consciousness that resounds within our very souls. It is what loved us into existence and what calls us back to merge into perfect joy. Swami Kriyananda describes it this way:Aum (pronounced OM) is the sound that emanates from the heart of creation, bringing consciousness into outer manifestation, maintaining it, and dissolving it back again, finally, into Infinite Spirit. This sound is the Word of the New Testament. It is the Amen of the Book of Revelation. In India, this cosmic sound was given the name AUM. By attuning one’s consciousness to this sound, one enters the stream of vibration that proceeds out of Spirit, and that merges back into the Spirit at creation’s end and at the end of the individual soul’s cycle of outward wandering. By merging in AUM, liberation is attained. In this program We hope you will join us for this “lovefest.”
In this experiential workshop we will explore and immerse ourselves in the wonders of Aum through strategies and methods that make us more aware of the practical impact of AUM in our daily lives and how to develop the spiritual sensitivity required to commune with AUM.
Once the fundamental importance of AUM in our daily lives has been understood, we are ready to use this power to change and improve our lives on all levels.

While it appears that we have ample parking all around us, we are wanting to be sensitive to our neighbors who own the adjacent parking lot. Therefore we ask that you do not park in the church lot. Please park in the following areas in the order below:
- Park in our driveway. Right or left sides are both fine, just not behind the garages and not in the first spaces closest to the building.
- Park PARALLEL on the street across from us but NOT into the grass on the grass. (inside tires can be on the grass about 12 inches, the rest on the street)
- Park in the lot on the far side of the grassy area across the street. (Behind the grassy area near the brick wall)
Thank you so much for your consideration of this!
