The full moon of Leo offers an opportunity to sensitize ourselves to the right use of power – moving away from self-assertion and domination into a selfless assumption of true leadership. Leo, as the Lion King, calls forth the courage to lead with love and sensitivity in service to others. The need for soul-inspired leadership in all walks of life has never been greater as we deal with a wide-spread fallout resulting from the misuse of power and self-centered actions from many institutions and individuals entrusted with the wellbeing of our society. Leo is a Fire sign in which Solar Power is ..read more

As we witness the elections taking place around the globe to choose new leaders of nations and local regions, it appears that there is a powerful tug-of-war going on everywhere between the ideal of democracy – where ‘we the people’ determine the future by consensus – and a strong tendency towards centralization of power in the hands of the few that eventually manifests as dictatorship. It may be useful to pause and reflect on the true nature of politics and the ethical requirements for anyone wishing to serve more consciously in a leadership role. We could simply state that, “Politics is how w ..read more

Our theme will be: ‘Abundance and the Never-ending Search for Gold’.  The word ‘abundance’ typically conjures up an image of a vast cornucopia of riches – a basket of plenty overflowing with all that we desire in life. However, we are not speaking here of a surfeit of material possessions but, instead, of the eternal search for the golden riches of a soul-inspired life. Why though, is this treasure always hidden from view and how do we go about discovering its elusive whereabouts? Perhaps the gold we seek may already be within us and not an earthly metal but a higher state of consci ..read more

Welcome to the Full Moon Meditation held in the sun sign of Cancer (full moon in Capricorn). Cancer is a Water sign in which “the purificatory waters of experience begin their beneficent work.” This is the sign of the Crab who carries a house upon its back and the opportunity inside the influence of this constellation is reflected in its motto, “I build a lighted house and therein dwell”. In, Cancer we are invited to radiate our Light out into the world and to not hide this divine gift under a rock. Sensitivity to mass consciousness and the greater environment is a prominent characteristic of ..read more

In a world where people are struggling to make ends meet, where many are hungry and living below the poverty line, it might sound incongruous and somewhat fanciful to focus this month on the theme of ‘Abundance’. The word ‘abundance’ typically conjures up an image of a vast cornucopia of riches – a basket of plenty over-flowing with all that we desire and need in life.  However, we are not talking of amassing a surfeit of material possessions but, instead, entering the eternal search for the golden riches of a soul-inspired life.  But why is this treasure always stored and hidden fro ..read more

Our theme will be: ‘The Lightness of Joy in Dark Places’’.  Joy is a special wisdom that illumines and warms our heart and sheds a welcome light on the Path ahead as we traverse the dark places of Earth as part of our journey through the inner and outer terrain of incarnated life. Many people are asking themselves, “How can I be truly joyful while surrounded by so much suffering?” Understanding and resolving the conundrum of pain and joy co-existing inside the same temporal arc is the urgent task facing us if we are to remain positive and undeterred by the implosions and perturbatio ..read more

We warmly invite you to join us in celebrating the Festival of Goodwill – a world-wide group meditation in the solar sign Gemini (full moon in Sagittarius) through which we can receive, register and radiate the special energies available.

“How can I be truly joyful while surrounded by so much suffering?”  This was the question posed by a friend last week and my guess is that many of us have had similar ponderings. The jagged and jarring scenes of suffering that fill our collective field of vision and surface feelings of despair and despondency are the precipitates and products of past thoughts and actions.  In contradistinction to this pain, the heart-lighted joy we sense burning deep inside the innermost repository of the heart is the eternal presence of fiery Hope.  Hope-filled seeds of new possibilities contai ..read more

Welcome to the Festival of Wesak held in the solar month of Taurus (with the Full Moon in Scorpio). We warmly invite your participation in this world-wide group meditation to receive, register and radiate the special energies available. The Wesak Festival honors the Buddha – the Lord of Light – who uses this occasion each year to bless humanity with the Light of Illumination that greatly aids in our destined journey of transformation from “darkness to light, from the unreal to the Real and from death to immortality.” This Festival has added significance this year because of the numerous crise ..read more

All that we see around us is the result of a co-creative process of cosmic proportions. The Ageless Wisdom teachings explain that the manifested universe is the Child born out of the consummation of a sacred communion between the Duality of the Divine Feminine and the Divine Masculine. This Dual Origin, according to the Agni Yoga tradition, constitutes the two poles of a Cosmic Magnet that functions as the primary agent of the Creator in an enduring generative act of Creation. We could say that the One Unmanifest Life utilizes Its two-fold nature to give birth to Itself. We are also told that ..read more
