Monastery Mornings

May 19th l Vedanta Society l San Diego

For all those who wish to discover the rich spiritual landscape of our beautiful home here in San Diego and perhaps finally choose a path that resonates deep within.
Join Jean-Christophe Haskell every first Sunday of each month to visit the various Monasteries and Spiritual centers we have nearby.
Each month we will visit one spiritual center in order deepen the very essence of our Hatha Yoga practice, Self-Inquiry. What is the nature of the “self”?
The point is not to become a spiritual leap frog…going from one path to the other to entertain the mind or even to assimilate various elements of differrent paths in order to synthesize our “own” spiritual path, but rather to perhaps uncover a deeper calling to dive into a resonating path.
NO FEE just fellowship.

Sunday May 19th 10-12pm
Please come and join us for the second Monastery morning of the year! Last month’s trip to the Deer Park Monastery was absolutely beautiful! (See Above)
This month’s Monastery Morning will take place at the Vedanta Society’s Ramakrishna Monastery in San Diego, very close to Balboa Park.
For those interested in carpooling or joining a caravan down, we will meet in the parking lot of Seaside Market in Cardiff at 9:00 am. We will promptly leave by 9:15 in order to make it to the temple early enough for an hour long ceremony/meditation followed by an hour long talk by a nun of the Ramakrishna Order followed by a Q and A.
For those not interested in coming to the 10am ceremony/meditation you may arrive a little before 11am in order to be there for the talk.
The very first Indian Swami (Hindu monk) to ever come to the US was Swami Vivekenanda he represented Hinduism at the first World Parliament of Religions in Chicago in 1893 where he was an instant success. Subsequently he was invited to speak all over America and Europe. He was a man with a great spiritual presence and tremendous intellect.
Learn more about this fascinating path at their website

Please take the opportunity to familiarize yourself with this particular path through various writings of Swami Vivekenanda and materials on the website.

Restorative Class with Melanie Buck

3rd Sunday of every month 11:30a-12:45p l Sunday, May 19 l  regular class rate

“You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection. “ –Buddha

Join Melanie Buck, RYT, for a special treat.  Allow yourself the important task of doing nothing; of allowing your body and mind the opportunity to truly let go.  We rarely take time to truly rest.  Sleep is different from conscious relaxation.  In Restorative Yoga, the body is put into comfortable, supported positions with gentle attention directed towards the breath.  This allows deep relaxation and rest.

During deep relaxation there is no movement, no effort, and the brain is quiet.  There is reduced muscle tension, improved circulation, and a deep feeling of ease, love, and peace.  More benefits include improved digestion, reduced blood pressure, relieving insomnia, and reducing general fatigue.  Restore health and vitality to your body and mind.
