Our Temple Meeting takes place this Tuesday, March 18, from 7 – 8:30 p.m. at the main Temple. The meeting begins with a short inspirational talk followed by a half-hour meditation, Temple updates, and an Autobiography of a Yogi study class given by the minister. All are welcome.
We are happy to announce that the new personal retreat program in Encinitas is now open. The retreat, with accommodations adjacent to the Encinitas Ashram Center grounds, provides an opportunity for personal meditation, study, and reflection along with group meditations and inspirational services at the Encinitas Temple and the J Street Chapel.

This event is free, and no reservations are required! So, mark your calendars for Saturday, March 29, 6 – 7:30 p.m. at the J Street Chapel. We look forward to seeing you there!
