We are requesting volunteers to help this Saturday, September 17th at 9 am to 12:30 pm followed by a hearty vegetarian lunch. We need 4-8 people to help move slash piles in the forest to the roadside for chipping. Also help with invasive weeds (chopping and spraying —we’ll supply equipment, bring your own mask). Lastly, we have a small deck and ramp that needs a 2nd coat of paint at our library/kitchen/dining/yoga dome. Please let us know by Thursday, 15th if you will be coming on Saturday and if you will be staying for lunch. We’ll all meet at the dome at 9 am (up the driveway and straight past the greenhouse till you see it on your right). Thank you!

Sacred Mountain Ashram, established by Swami Amar Jyoti in 1974, is located just a mile west of Gold Hill on a mountaintop at 9000′. The ashram comprises 108 gorgeous acres of evergreens, aspens, wildflowers, snow, deer and other furry and feathered brethren.

You are invited to come for a visit, to walk in our gardens and enjoy the serenity of nature in this haven of solitude and peace. Aarati, a traditional offering of Light, is offered each morning at 7 am and evening at 7 pm at Jyoti Mandir, “Temple of Light,” followed by meditation.  Each Sunday and Thursday at 7 pm we gather for Satsang by Swami Amar Jyoti, which is preceded by mantra recitation, Aarati and kirtan, and followed by meditation.

Nearby the temple is Annapurna, a two-story 55′ diameter geodesic dome, housing our dining room, community kitchen, and an extensive spiritual library. We also have our yoga classes here.

Our publications, which include the quarterly Light of Consciousness—Journal of Spiritual Awakening (light-of-consciousness.org), the Prayer & Meditation Calendar (new 2012 calendar coming soon!) books and audio Satsangs of Swami Amar Jyoti, and our Kirtan and Sacred Chants CDs are all on display and available in our library. Please call or email us if you’d like to arrange a visit. We’re just up the hill!

Near Annapurna you can visit the Garden of Prophets with statues of Jesus, Buddha and Krishna, and our sunken garden with a gazebo where two bucks generally hang out  in the summertime.

WOMEN’S YOGA CLASSES—SUMMER SCHEDULE: open to the mountain community, hatha yoga classes by Justine Sanchez, our neighbor from Ward, are held in our 55′ diameter geodesic dome every Sunday and  Thursday at 9-10:30 am. Please call for directions, fees and any questions. Classes are for beginner to intermediate students with some headstands thrown in for those of you who like to be vertically challenged!

SEVALAYA (Center of Service), a quarter mile west of the Ashram and 1.5 miles from Gold Hill, is located 16 acres of aspen-bordered meadows and pines. We have residential buildings including accommodations for our annual week-long retreat each summer.
