Soak in the Wisdom of OM Retreat
& The Mandukya Upanishad
with Manorama
In-person & online via zoom
New Year’s Eve & Day:
Tues, Dec 31, 2024 & Wed, Jan 1, 2025
It’s important to cultivate positive energy, especially, as we close out the old year and open the new one.
This year, I’m focusing on, absorbing in Nada and OM with you.
Teachings on OM are some of the most mysterious and beautiful gifts that the rishis have left us, and I’m onboard to contemplate them together.
In our Soak in the Wisdom of OM Retreat, via zoom or in-person, we’ll chant resonant Sanskrit mantras, meditate by dissolving our minds and hearts into the cosmos of pure energy.
We’ll focus on wise yogic teachings from the Mandukya Upanishad, the Upanishad devoted to OM.
I’ll de-code Mandukya Upanishad’s majestic wisdom on nada and AUM.
You’ll chant and absorb in the mantras’ healing energy, growing understanding and greater balance in yourself.
It turns out that when you engage practices that support you coming into harmony, again and again; you learn to live in what I call the shanti zone.
This New Years’ eve and day, I’m not into goin’ out partying.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t judge if you are. Have a blast.
This year, the celebration I chose is to stay connected with is of sacred wisdom. I choose to chant Upanishadic mantras.
I learned long ago how to embrace what I like, while not downing others’ choices. I like to spend time in satsang, to meditate, and enjoy chanting and contemplation.
My guess is you do too.
If you too wanna ditch the hoopla for some quiet grounding then hop along.
I first learned the Mandukya Upanishad, as a young girl from my guru, Shri Brahmananda Sarasvati.
Even then I felt privileged to learn what was inside.
The Mandukya Upanishad is full of yogic knowledge and wisdom about OM.
The thing is, OM is life, so, the Mandukya Upanishad is the knowledge of life.
I’ll give you the jump on our time together: In Sanskrit, manduka (yep, minus the ‘y’) means frog.
The metaphor of the Mandukya Upanishad is that through chanting, meditation, and the study of OM, you leap into yogic joy and contentment.
Chanting Mandukya verses, and then sitting still, you come to discover this peaceful vibration lives in you.
This New Years’ eve and day, the plan is:
We’ll join together on zoom,
or if you wanna swing by NYC, come in person.
*NOTE: the in-person spots are very limited.
My request:
Bring all of you, bring the year you’ve had, even if it was a doozy.
Bring your intentions for next year with all its hopes and aspirations.
Bring it all.
Our Luminous Soul community, is a caring one. It includes like-minded students, who place attention on growing spiritually, while still making time for their families, jobs, and lattes.
During our time together, I’ll guide you in the Luminous Soul Meditation practice and chanting.
And I’ll give commentary on the verses, so they come alive in your own life.
You’ll practice listening, watching, laughing, and letting your yogic curiosity guide you.
You might decide to ask a question, or you may want to sit back and listen, as others inquire.
Come away from our time together feeling nurtured, inspired, lighter, and more grounded in yourself, as you begin your New Year.
I look forward to being with you!
