Practice of Awareness
Live One-day Retreat!
Sunday, November 19, 2023

This is the sixth in a multi-part series of One-day Live Online Sadhana Retreats. This popular series is available à la carte only and is not included in the AVA membership.

Amma emphasizes the significance of awareness in all our daily activities. Through awareness, we gain insight into our thoughts, emotions and actions, fostering personal growth and inner peace.

The practice of awareness serves as the key to success in many spiritual sadhanas. Learn to:

  • Use awareness in our daily activities to handle mental impressions, emotions and addictions.
  • Use awareness in our meditation to reach the deeper realms of our mind.
  • Use awareness as a tool for Self-Inquiry to realize the true nature of our being.

Walking the Path: Navigating Life's Journey with a Spiritual Perspective
The Search for Happiness
Live One-Day Retreat!
October 22, 2023

This is the Fifth in a multi-part series of One-day Live Online Sadhana Retreats.

“Happiness is our true nature,” says Amma. It is what we all strive for, yet many people struggle even to feel content. As for the happiness we do experience, it is often fleeting. So where are we going wrong?

  • Is there a better way to find happiness than what we currently know?
  • How can we manage our mind and be happy all the time?
  • By listening to the spiritual experiences and words of great souls who have attempted to describe their inner bliss and the merging of the soul in the Supreme, we can gather inspiration to help us in our search for real happiness.
