Sept 2024 - entering into our third year
““Do not worry, be patient and persistent in your aspiration.”
- The Mother (Mirra Alfassa)
During our summer break, A Sunlit Path founder Sudha Suthanthiram travelled to US and Europe and was welcomed by many connected to Auroville and others on a similar mission.
We are indeed creating a community that is spread around the world! Sudha and former workshop participant and now friend, César Bazaar, collaborated in France to create our logo on a cement tile which is now installed in the entrance to A Sunlit Path. Have a look when you come next!
Many new things are in store, from our updated logo and website to a new focus on a longer retreat format rather than classes/workshops. We look forward to creating more intense and immersive experiences for you this year
Events
Even as we prepare to offer retreats soon, we have started off the year sharing some of our core offerings.
Full Moon Gathering
We had a beautiful full moon gathering hosted by @breathewithsudha. A super moon, partial eclipse, and equinox made it a powerful one for sure.
Thanks to @arkelle85 we have moved from western astrology to Vedic astrology complete with its fantastical stories for each nakshatra. This time it was Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra.
Our fears are like Hiranyakashapu - the king who “could not be killed”. The fears feel invincible - like this King’s sense of his own invincibility. We used the power of this Nakshatra to identify those fears that feel invincible which have held us back and released them into the sacred fire as they had reached their culmination on this full moon.
Thank you to all who brought their deep presence, vulnerability, songs and prayers to make this gathering such magic.
FAOM Methodology Training
Having finished another FaOM Methodology training, we reflect on the value of the intimate size of our trainings which provides plenty of individual attention to each participant. By the end of the week-long training, participants have experienced enough practice with corrections to be confident in providing FaOM healing sessions to others on their own.
Temple Visit
An immeasurable joy to dive deeper into the richness of this ancient land through a temple trip with fellow seekers! This was a very pleasant trip, complete with munching on cashews while listening to stories, songs and the monsoon rain, to a few temples near Anantapuram, Tamilnadu.
What a blessing to travel with people who shared many symbols, myths, architecture, songs, rituals, etc they saw in the temple. The wealth is so immense that there is no illusion of ever “getting it”, just a great blessing to be here, now, soaking it in like a child. The devotion with the wisdom and the beauty, all the forms of yoga come alive in these temples!
