Join us for a joyful Community Gathering!

Let us come together supporting each other in renewing our vision for physical, mental, and spiritual well-being in the year ahead. We’ll share stories of how the teachers of Integral Yoga continue to touch lives in our community and take time to honor their dedicated and loving service.

Swami Ramananda will also reflect on the Institute’s challenges from the past year and share our collective hopes and plans for the year to come. Your insights on how the Institute can best serve our community are warmly welcomed.
After the meeting we will share a potluck meal. Please bring a vegetarian dish to share (no meat, fish or eggs).
