Full Moon Beachside Peace Walk Fellowship

Join us on Tuesday, 26th December for our Full Moon beach peace walk with His Holiness Swami Vidyadhishananda. We will offer our twilight contemplative peace walk at the beach for community well-being during the interlude of sunset and moonrise (4:35pm). We will meet at 4:30pm at East Beach in Santa Barbara (just North-East of the volleyball courts) where you will be greeted by staff/volunteers.

After the peace walk at the beach and moonrise, weather permitting we will practice open eye meditation on the full moon sitting on the beach (please bring your own blanket and warm clothing). If the weather gets foggy and the moon is not visible, we will skip the seated meditation. Following this beach peace contemplation, we will gather at the Hansavedas Meditation Centre (HMC) for a fellowship including prasāda (light vegetarian snack).

Please bring warm clothing for the walk. Check the weather forecast and dress accordingly – but modestly as befits a spiritual fellowship.
