Open Weekend at Open Sky House
Satsang
John David made himself available for chats and talks. His Satsangs at the beginning and end of the weekend encouraged to live from our inherent love, peace and silence and to manifest it into the world.
Community
Once again it became clear that over the years the Community has become a strong Energy Field of Silence and Love. It is like an Oasis, where everybody who visits us gets a great benefit connecting to this Energy Field.

Silence and Creativity
When we become quiet enough, enormous Creativity is released - music, singing, painting, dancing, theatre as well as Creativity in our daily tasks just arise naturally.
"We never had any plan of how this community should develop. But now there's an amazing Energy Field here. It's not created really by anybody. It' a result of twenty people living together as Honestly as they can, being ready to be mirrors for each other, to get rid of the nonsense, to allow the Truth to emerge."

Next Zoom Meeting on 5th August
Topic: Guru Purnima Day
When I was living with Papaji I still had very strong issues with my father, and sometimes I was looking to Papa to come and tell me I was a good boy. I guess he knew that.
It was a special day; it was Guru Purnima day when everybody gives a garland to the Guru. We all came in a long line, each holding a garland, and slowly we came closer to Papaji.
The procedure was that you gave the garland to Papaji, you knelt down and then Papaji took off the garland and gave it to an assistant. Then he would look into your eyes…

Next Zoom Meeting: August 3rd
Listen to the Longing of your Heart
Sometimes we have a hard time keeping the attention inside. We feel resistant or afraid against Life itself or stay involved in an illusionary movie of life.
In this Zoom Meeting we come together to give space to the deeper Longing of our Hearts, which can guide us the way through the forest of identification to our inner being.
Everyone is welcome to ask questions, share or simply immerse themselves in the energy of the meeting.
