SUNDAY MORNINGS:
Every Sunday at 9:30 a.m., we conduct "Spiritual Studies" (where we focus on the "science" in the spiritual aspects) outdoors under our 150 year-old “Bodhi tree.” Topics vary from week to week. We recommend you call in advance, especially if it is a holiday weekend when we might have another event that supercedes this.
We suggest a donation of at least $20. to cover our costs and support our activities. However, for those of you who cannot afford this, we conduct a simple work activity after the session so that your remuneration / donation can be achieved by participating in UP-lifting educational “hands-on” activities.
The listed topics are subject to change. If a higher priority arises for a timely topic to share, we will re-schedule the listed topic for a later date. It is best to call 2 to 3 days ahead if you wish to verify the topic.
