We are thrilled to welcome Asha to the Assisi Institute for our spring weekend retreat, March 28 - 30. Because she seldom visits the east coast, this is a rare opportunity to experience Asha’s joyful presence and profound yet practical teachings. Her deep love of her teacher, Swami Kriyananda, and her guru, Yogananda, are part of everything she does.
Asha came to the Kriya Yoga tradition through Yogananda's direct disciple Kriyananda as a college student at Stanford in 1969. As one of the founding members of the Ananda community in Palo Alto, she served as counselor, teacher, and secretary to Swami Kriyananda.
Today, people around the world grow spiritually through her videos, live appearances, recordings, and books. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with her work!
Asha's warm and clear teaching may begin with a general topic or question, yet her answers encompass so much more. Her inspired, in-the-moment responses keep her audience attentive and receptive, as she answers questions like…
How can I overcome negative thoughts?
How do I not take things personally?
How can I cope with family members who do not understand my spiritual path?
Do I need to worry about karma?
What is the most important thing I need to remember in my spiritual life?
Food and Refreshments
All retreatants are welcome for tea, coffee, and snacks in our fellowship room throughout the retreat.
Lunch and dinner are not provided, but there will be ample time to go out. All are invited to use our spacious living room and to enjoy browsing in our Blessing Shop.
