MONTHLY SUNDAY MORNING MEDITATION
All are welcome to attend the monthly SRF Community Meditation offering, based on the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda.
Meetings are held on the first Sunday of each month in the Meditation Room on the second floor of True Nature. This is a donation based offering.
Arrival Time: 9:00 a.m. (to settle in)
Service Begins Promptly: 9:15 a.m.
Through the steady practice of yoga meditation, it is possible to experience a deepening sense of peace, love, compassion, and joy. As inner transformation unfolds, its positive influence naturally extends outward—first to family and community, and eventually to the world at large.
“Reform yourself, and you will reform thousands.” — Paramahansa Yogananda
“You realize that all along there was something tremendous within you and you did not know it.”
– Paramahansa Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi
Paramahansa Yogananda (1893–1952) is widely recognized as one of the most influential spiritual figures of the 20th century and has been hailed as the “Father of Yoga in the West.” Born in India, he came to the United States in 1920, where he spent more than 30 years teaching India’s ancient science of meditation and the art of balanced living.
His many books have introduced millions to the universal truths underlying the world’s spiritual traditions. The award-winning documentary Awake: The Life of Yogananda was released in 2014 and continues to inspire audiences around the world.
Yogananda’s legacy continues through the Self-Realization Fellowship (SRF), the organization he founded in 1920 to disseminate the teachings of Kriya Yoga. Through its global outreach, SRF aims to awaken a deeper understanding of the harmony underlying all true religions and to foster a greater expression of divine love—the love that unites all people in their oneness with God.
Paramahansa Yogananda welcomed seekers of every faith. The benefits of the scientific methods of yoga he taught do not depend on belief, but arise from direct personal experience of the Divine.

Concentric Recovery Monthly Meetings

Community Offering | Please register online for this in person event.
Join us, in community, every third Tuesday at True Nature in Carbondale, as we combine physical practice with prompt-based discussion and connection around the central questions of addiction and recovery, with a focus on its social and spiritual dimensions.
What if addiction were a call? An opportunity? An open doorway through which we could pass into a deeper and more participatory version of our lives?
From screens, to substances, to work, to sex- there is no shortage of opportunities to tune out of that which troubles us into a world of temporary ease and distraction. For many of us, the very things that help us avoid pain become problems of their own. This is the basic cycle of addiction, and it is pervasive in the world today.
No prior experience necessary. All bodies and levels are welcome.*
Concentric Recovery meetings are for people of all ages who:
Experience mild to moderate addiction(s)* (This program is not a great fit for those experiencing severe addiction)**
Are affected by addiction in the life of someone close to them
Are willing to learn more about addiction and recovery
Are willing to explore new tools and methods for moving through the negative effects of addiction
Are curious about the social and spiritual dimensions of addiction
*Addiction is a chronic condition characterized by compulsive engagement in rewarding stimuli (such as substances or behaviors) despite adverse consequences.
**Severe addiction is characterized by continuing behavior despite serious physical, psychological, social, and/or legal repercussions.
Davis Cowles is the Program Lead and head facilitator for Concentric Recovery. He teaches yoga and breathwork for people in recovery, and is walking through the doorway of addiction himself. Learn more about Davis at our ticketing/RSVP page.
The Concentric Recovery program offering is an educational initiative of the Connection is the Medicine Foundation. To learn more about our mission-driven work, the foundation, other programming experiences, and our founders, please visit www.connectionisthemedicine.com.
