Leaving the Ashram

Today I'm leaving the Ashram. This will also be my last post until sometime in late April / early May. I will take a break from blogging while I'm in Vancouver and when I first get home. I'm really excited about doing some exploring in Vancouver and meeting up with the meditation group there.

Before I came I was asked by a friend whether I would go to other Ashrams for my spiritual retreats. At the time I said no, because last year I felt I'd found a spiritual home at Yasodhara Ashram and therefore I wanted to explore things deeper here.

However, I've known since shortly after I got here that this is no longer my home. Something in me has shifted and it doesn't fit as well as it did. This isn't a sad thing, it just is. It is still a great place for me to explore my spirituality and I'm very grateful for that opportunity.

But now the answer to my friend may have changed. I might check out other spiritual centres to see if I find somewhere that's a better fit for me. If not, that's okay since my real spiritual home is inside me and I can explore it anywhere.

I wish you all Peace, Love and Light on your own journeys. I'll be back soon.

  1. So true, that your spiritual home is inside yourself. Safe travels, happy meditating, and Happy Easter!
