Vanaprastha Group Satsangs
Graceful Aging through Spiritual Living
We want to help our mission elders find a harmonious balance between action and inaction, a remarkable strength in retirement, comfort and security within a like-minded community and the beauty and wisdom of spiritual evolution.
We will do this with innovative, practical and unique perspectives with talks by individuals within and outside our member community. Our aim is to give a comprehensive vision to senior citizens and to make their life healthy, serene, comfortable, purposeful and happy.
The next satsang is on Friday September 29th, 2023 at 10 am Pacific. Please complete the form by 6pm on Thursday May 28th to be added to the mailing list for April and future Vanaprastha satsangs.
