Love Is

Love is already there. It alone IS. All that is needed on your part is to give up thought, which makes you imagine yourself to be apart from Love, and so merge in Love. Then there is only Love, which is bliss beyond imagination. To one who has discovered the ecstatic joy of volitionless Love, sadhana [spiritual practice] is a laughable absurdity. To those who require justifications, we may say that such Love blossoms only in souls which have perfected their sadhanas in previous births. - Sri Ramana Maharshi

Easter Retreat

In blossoming springtime, this retreat was energetically strong, deeply touching and inspiring. The close contact with John David and spending time in a group in quietude, while still feeling connected to each other, was very nourishing and relaxing. A precious space where everything is welcome and it becomes very clear, we are all One.

Easter in Ukraine

Following our donation campaign, more people found refuge in the community in Trypillia in Ukraine. Luckily this side of Kyiv had been fairly quiet during the terrible attacks.14 people are living here at the moment, more are on their way trying to get out of dangerous regions, donations make it possible. They are trying to live a normal life: Meditating together, building plant beds to grow vegetables and going fishing by the Dnepr river. Food is tight. Still, it was possible to celebrate Easter with traditional cakes and eggs.
