Things are thriving this spring



Dear Friends,

After completing a wonderful Navaratri celebration in March, the Sonoma Ashram is thriving. The shift of seasons brings gratitude for the extra hours of daylight and the much needed spring rains.


The garden is in full bloom providing an abundance of food, beauty and Seva (selfless-service) opportunities. From simple day-to-day tasks to more major projects, residents, guests and volunteers deepen their practice by working together to maintain and beautify this sacred space.


Friends old and new are arriving weekly from all over the country for personal retreats. We recently had a successful visit with a group of teens from a local high school who were interested in learning more about the teachings of the Ashram.

Most exciting, however, is the movement on several improvement projects. The removal of the trailer that has served as Babaji’s personal residence began this week. This is just the first step of this project and we look forward to sharing more about what’s in store for the future. Additionally, we are in the midst of upgrading guest accommodations in the main house.


With all of the new growth happening at the Ashram I can’t help be reminded of a lesson I learned during Navaratri, that new found courage comes when we take action and follow divine inspiration.

We hope that you are thriving this spring, and that we will see you at a class or event in the near future.
