We are incredibly honored to welcome Gangaji as our very special guest speaker!

Gangaji

About Gangaji

Gangaji, born Toni Roberson, grew up in Mississippi. Like many of her contemporaries, she searched for fulfillment through relationships, career, motherhood, subculture experiences, political activism, and spiritual practice.

While she had never planned to go to India, it was on the banks of the Ganges River that her search ended. In 1990, Gangaji met her teacher, Sri H.W.L. Poonja.

Today, as a teacher and author, Gangaji speaks to people from all walks of life inviting them to fully recognize the absolute freedom and unchanging peace that is the truth of one’s being.

Gangaji is the author of several books including:

The Diamond In Your Pocket: Discovering Your True Radiance

Hidden Treasure: Uncovering The Truth In Your Life Story

Freedom and Resolve: The Living Edge of Surrender

You Are That Volume 1 & 11

A Heartfelt Invitation

“It is with great joy I invite you to join us at Unity Community of Ashland this Sunday as we welcome back beloved spiritual teacher Gangaji,” shares Rev. Kathy Zavada. “We are truly lucky and blessed that she once again accepted the invitation to be with our community, and it makes me particularly happy to share this blessing and grace with you, dear community!”“I was invited to come to Gangaji’s silent retreat in Tenaya Lodge in Yosemite back in the early 2000’s and lead an hour of chanting each morning. To be in Gangaji’s presence, to be invited into the stillness of my true nature, was irresistible, and, thus, I experienced her retreats to be some of the most blissful weeks of my life. Her teaching is what I would describe as a deep transmission of stillness, an invitation to go beyond the mind and directly experience pure Being.”

“And, so, I invite you to come on Sunday with a willingness, an openness to rest in this stillness and experience the beauty and bliss of your true nature.”

Guest Speaker

We are delighted to welcome Swami Beyondananda as our guest speaker this week. After Service, he will offer a show filled with love and laughter, the best medicine for what we need.

As anyone who follows the news can attest, we are living in serious times. The antidote? Serious laughter. Take it from the Swami himself: “The best way to overcome gravity is with levity.”

Swami’s performance has been described both as “comedy disguised as wisdom,” and “wisdom disguised as comedy.” Which is it? Attend our Service, stay for the afternoon show, and then you decide.

Order Tickets

Tickets to Beyondananda and Beyond – A Two Man One Man Show (Sunday, October 5 @ 1pm) can be ordered directly on the Swami’s website. Just click the button below to get started:

About The Swami

“Here is the great paradox of Cosmic Comic Consciousness: The world is in serious condition, and yet there is definitely something funny going on.” Swami Beyondananda, whose favorite yoga pose is tongue-in-cheek (and occasionally foot-in-mouth) is bringing his comedy disguised as wisdom—or is it wisdom disguised as comedy—to Unity Community of Ashland.

Seriously and humorously, in these way-too-serious times, this is the perfect opportunity to take humor more seriously and seriousness more humorously. Noted author and presidential candidate Marianne Williamson has called the Swami “the Mark Twain of our times,” and as such Swami has a “one-twack mind”—that’s the laugh twack. And he has one “loco motive”—to keep you laughing till the sacred cows come home.

Now, the Swami is not one of those gurus who expects people to accept his teachings without questioning. If you have an answerable question for the Swami, the Swami will have a questionable answer for you.

As the Swami tells us, there are two kinds of people in the world—the kind who divide people into two kinds and the kind who don’t. If you’re part of the former group, there are two other kinds of people in the world: the ones who love to laugh, and the ones who need to. If you fit either category, come laugh with (or at, he doesn’t care) the Swami. And invite your friends, because when it comes to laughter, the more the merrier.

Guest Speakers

Jean Houston is our very special guest this Sunday!

We are delighted to again welcome the amazing Dr. Jean Houston as our very special guest speaker. Jean will be joined by her long-time assistant Peggy Rubin. Together, they will offer an illuminating and uplifting talk on the unrealized possibilities of human potential.

Rev. Kathy Zavada says that she is always learns so much from Jean.

“I must say every time I talk to Jean even briefly, I feel like the seeds of possibility for my own life and its expression are watered,” Rev. Kathy shares. “It seems to me that Jean’s ‘factory setting’ is set on a perennial openness and awareness of the inherent possibility in every human. That twinkle in her eye, seems to be because she knows we have profound untapped capacities and she is going to spend every moment of her extraordinary life encouraging that capacity into full expression!”

“I am so very looking forward to sharing with you a talk on a subject so dear to my heart and soul, ‘The Great Mother Goddess’,” shares Rev. Kathy. “In the Rig Veda it says, ‘Truth is One, the sages speak of it by many names.’ In other words, there is a single, ultimate Reality, but it is understood and expressed in many ways. The Great Mother as the ultimate Reality has been worshiped for many, many thousands of years, long before the patriarchal focus of God as Father born out of the monotheistic religions of Judaism, Islam and Christianity.“In our Interfaith tradition, we explore the great Truth that is One, as it is expressed in myriad forms,” Rev. Kathy continues. “There are many forms, many expressions of the great goddess throughout history from Mesopotamia to Egypt to Greece to India and to contemporary figures like Ammachi. Through our communion with the Great Mother, the Great Goddess, we can open to and also embody those divine qualities. This Divine Feminine presence can be a vehicle for our own direct, divine experience. And so we will explore this in depth this Sunday.”

Rev. Kathy is also excited about the music program!

“I have chosen some very special music including Ave Maria featuring Franz Schubert’s beautiful piano arrangement and featuring Lark and her divine soprano. We’ll sing bhajans including Kali Durge, and we’ll shift our mind to open to God as Mother with She’s Got The Whole World In Her Hands. We’ll chant Mother of All Things and invoke Kali, Durga, Lakshmi, Saraswati, Amma, Mother Mary, and the Universal Mother of all.”

Please join us for a most sacred Sunday filled with divine energy and grace!
