Since then he has traveled to India to study at Sadhana Mandir and Sadhaka Grama in Rishikesh. He began teaching Hatha yoga in 2003 and has been a regular teacher of Hatha Yoga (I & II) as well as Meditation I. Rodney is grateful for the opportunity to teach at a place as special as the Meditation Center.

SUMMARY:Mothers' Day Sunday Tea with Swami Radha Bharati\, 10:00am - Noon
DESCRIPTION:Mothers’ Day Sunday Tea with Swami Radha Bharati\n10:00am – Noon\n\n\n..Women possess a unique magic.  As women we are able to call forth life from the other side\, and cultivate that life in the quiet space below our hearts.  Within our bodies we hold an opening to the divine\, a portal that allows souls to enter into this world.\n(From “Sacred Instructions: Indigenous Wisdom for Living Spirit-Based Change” by Sherri Mitchell\, page 121)\n\nEveryone has a biological mother. There is no other way for a soul desiring life in this world to enter but through a mother’s womb. Mothers not only nurture life into being; but they also protect the life that they have brought forth.  Swami Rama says there is no finer example of love than how a mother selflessly nurtures\, protects and cares for that life.  No matter who the mother is\, what the conditions are or where in the world she is\, a mother\, even if flawed\, will nurture and protect her young. It is in recognition of this truth that we honor our mothers on Mother’s Day.\n\nTea and coffee cake will be served.\n\n\n  \n\n\nThere will be no Sunday Satsang on May 12th.

SUMMARY:Thursday Satsang: "Open Mind\, Open Heart\, Open Will\, Open Access to the Divine” with Dr. Paul R. Scheele - May 16\, 2019
DESCRIPTION:Thursday Satsang – May 16\, 2019\n“Open Mind\, Open Heart\, Open Will\, Open Access to the Divine” with Dr. Paul R. Scheele\n  \nWho we are is “Ever Free\, Ever Pure\, Ever Wise.” Think of these as our spiritual gifts of Free Will\, Pure Heart\, and Wise Mind. It is our divine nature to feel and express these natural qualities. However\, three fears of insufficiency commonly impede our realization of our true nature. Those fears are carefully guarded by the ego\, so that they remain hidden from others and keep us from feeling vulnerable. When the brain and mind work together\, you can cast off the fears and re-assign the protector duty of the ego to facilitate spiritual liberation. \nPaul R. Scheele\, Ph.D. is CEO of Scheele Learning Systems\, and co-founder of Learning Strategies Corporation. He is author of Drop Into Genius\, and Natural Brilliance. He is also co-author of Meditate with the Himalayan Masters\, with Swami Veda Bharati. Paul has been meditating in the Himalayan Tradition since 1973 and helped create the Association of Himalayan Yoga Meditation Societies International in Rishikesh\, India\, in 2007. \nAll are welcome! Come for the entire evening\, or join at any time. There is no need to make reservations. Simply show up and enjoy yourself!\nWeekly Format:\n6:00 – 7:00: Hatha Yoga for Everyone!

DESCRIPTION:Thursday Satsang – June 20\, 2019\n“Shoucha: Pathway to Buddhi”\nThe practices of shoucha\, purity\, are vast and powerful!  Even the simple\, gross practices have profound effects which inspire more and more practices: purity leads to more purity.  But when\, over time\, this inspiration leads to the subtle realms\, one begins to experience the wordless intimacy of Buddhi – the greatest source of purity available to us in our human form.  The relationship is elusive at first\, until we attune our inner hearing to Buddhi’s silent voice. \nSri Swami Rama once said that the highest expression of purity occurs when all of our actions – physical\, speech\, and thought – arise under the sole influence of the Divine.  Buddhi is the perfectly skilled\, essential companion for such a Divine journey. \nPandit Tejomaya will share insights from his forest sadhana. \n  \n\n\n\n6:00 p.m. Hatha Yoga\n7:00 p.m. Meditation with Swami Radha Bharati\n7:30 p.m. Talk by Pandit Tejomaya\n8:30 p.m. No Soup Because of TMC Kitchen Remodel\n9:00 p.m. Prayers and Meditation\n\n\n\nAll are welcome!

SUMMARY:Thursday Satsang: An Evening with Stephen Parker (Stoma)\, PsyD - "Why Study the Yoga Sutras Anyway?" - September 5\, 2019
DESCRIPTION:Thursday Satsang – September 5\, 2019\n“Why Study the Yoga Sutras Anyway?”\nAn Evening with Stephen Parker (Stoma)\, PsyD\n  \nStoma’s Monday night text seminar decided at the end of the last text (Vijñāna-bhairava-tantra) to come back to the Yoga Sutras where our journey together began 18 years ago (YIKES!). Stoma has often stated that one cannot return to the fundamentals too often and this is certainly true of this very deep and comprehensive text. Swami Veda went through the Sutras three times and each time he re-read his previous writings and lectures he would say\, “Who was the idiot who wrote that?!” Each time there are new insights. This talk will discuss why this map of spiritual practice is so useful and some of the particularities of its study that many modern students miss. There is a particular traditional way of study that is critical to really getting to the sweet juice in this beautiful spiritual fruit. (Yoga Alliance CE credits will be available for anyone who needs them.) \n  \nAll are welcome! Come for the entire evening\, or join at any time. There is no need to make reservations. Simply show up and enjoy yourself!\nWeekly Format:\n6:00 – 7:00: Hatha Yoga for Everyone! ($10)\n7:00 – 7:30: Guided Meditation (free!)\n7:30 – 8:30: Inspiring Presentation and discussion (donation appreciated)\n8:30 – 9:00: Vegetarian soup (suggested donation $3)\n9:00: Evening Prayers and Clean-up

SUMMARY:Thursday Satsang: "Community Music Night with Chris Young!" - September 19\, 2019
DESCRIPTION:Thursday Satsang – September 19\, 2019\n Community Music Night with Chris Young!\nA wonderful way to enjoy\, grow\, and maintain community is through playing and singing devotional music together. Expressing ourselves through music is a natural way to deepen and strengthen our relationship to the Divine\, to others\, and to ourselves. We’ll play some kirtan songs from popular artists\, some english language songs\, and maybe others! All meant to focus attention towards and open the heart to receiving a positive vibration. There will be lyric sheets with chord symbols and some percussion instruments available for those who would like to sing and play along (if inspired to\, please bring an instrument)\, or just come and enjoy the sound and community! \nThis is meant to be a community experience\, not a performance. As such\, we will intend to enjoy the silence between songs in order to deepen the experience of a rising and dissipating vibration. It is an opportunity to express; to receive and give without concern of skill level or musicality. We just want to make a joyful noise! \nChris Young is a longtime initiate and member of The Meditation Center\, and also a pretty ok musician! He has studied the yoga of sound since becoming a musician in his teens\, and loves to share his talents and joy for devotional music. \nAll are welcome! Come for the entire evening\, or join at any time. There is no need to make reservations. Simply show up and enjoy yourself!\nWeekly Format:\n6:00 – 7:00: Hatha Yoga for Everyone!
