Dear friends,
It has been several months since my last newsletter so I
hope this finds you well and enjoying a marvelous spring.
INDIA 2007: Asha and I returned from India last month
after what was undoubtedly the best pilgrimage in all our
nine years of conducting this experience. We are in the
process of preparing a report of the journey, which will
first be sent out to our snail mail list, and then later
posted on our website. This year we extended our pilgrimage
with a five day silent retreat titled “Journey into
Silence” followed by a five day mini pilgrimage titled “Off
the Beaten Path". This was a phenomenal experience as well
and a report along with photographs will be posted on our
website sometime in the next month or so.
KRIPALU EASTER WEEKEND: Early this month I presented a
weekend Easter retreat at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and
Health in Lenox Massachusetts. We journeyed deeply together
into exploring the mystical experience of Jesus, how it
resonates with the deep teachings of the Vedas and the
significance of this relationship for both yogis as well as
Christians. I was assisted by two excellent musicians from
the Pennsylvania area who performed with me last year in
Baltimore. You can know more about Ajay and Pankaj Sharma
through their website www.yogaconsciousness.com. Kirtan at
Kripalu was magnificent, with an auditorium overflowing
with chanting yogis, and many who danced ecstatically as we
chanted. Kripalu drummer, Adrian Bennett and his KDZ
percussion partner, Bob, together with Bhavani and several
other chanters from the center who joined the performance.
Next week I leave for Nottingham New Hampshire, where I
will present a weekend at the Nottingham Community Church
that is associated with the Universalist Unitarian
congregation. Those of you who know this denomination are
well aware that they embrace a broad range of philosophical
and theological perspectives. The minister, Bob Fowler, is
a wonderful man who I got to know through my teaching at
Matthew Fox's University of Creation Spirituality in
Oakland, California.
NOTTINGHAM, NH MAY 04 to 06: The theme of the weekend is
"Opening the Mystic Heart”. Some of you may recognize the
title of an extraordinary book “The Mystical Heart” by my
good friend, the late Brother Wayne Teasdale. He was my
best friend for over 18 years before his death in October
2004 and I learned much from him about the mystical life
and the mystical path. This weekend will be offer the
opportunity for me to share many of the insights that I
learned from him with a larger group of people.
I will be offering a public concert during the weekend, on
Saturday, May 5, accompanied by an excellent musician who
lives in town.
DELRAY BEACH, FL, 11-13: Following that week, I travel to
Delray Beach in Florida, to present another weekend, using
a similar title "Awakening the Mystic Heart" to explore the
healing power of sound, music and chant. This is an event
that I am presenting at the invitation of Laura di Bello,
an amazing vocalist who sings professionally with various
Philharmonic Orchestras and who is at the same time a sound
healer and sound healing consultant.
The weekend involves a Friday evening presentation, an all
Saturday workshop and a Saturday evening chant concert.
Information about these events is up on my website. Please

It felt surprisingly good to return to Austin, TX from
India. Everything was so green when we arrived and it
continues to be so with the excellent rainfall this winter.
The Bluebonnets are out, and for those of you not aware of
this phenomenon, there are whole fields of these gorgeous
little flowers adorning the sides of several highways in
the vicinity.
Looking forward to our next communication, when I will have
more news for you,
With love in the Spirit,
