| Greetings from Arjuna and Chameli Ardagh |
| We are emerging after the long winter months like two bears drawn out of hybernation by the smells of the spring. After months of soups made from root vegetables, evenings by the log fire with a rented movie, now we are both drinking green smoothies, exercising enthusiastically and preparing for a busy few months of connecting with old friends and new. As you can see from the schedule below, we will be visiting many cities in the near future, starting with New York next week. Arjuna has recently been in India for a panchakarma retreat as well as a visit to the Oneness University, and Chameli did a tour of Germany and Sweden in February, so we are looking forward to doing many events together now. We hope to see you soon, and to share with you the ways our work has, as always, been evolving and changing.
With love, Arjuna and Chameli |

| A New Book... |
| We are pleased to announce the publication of "Awakening into Oneness" by Arjuna Ardagh, published by Sounds True, and available now. This is the first book about the Oneness Blessing (Oneness Deeksha) to be fully endorsed and authorized by the Oneness University in India, and is based on exclusive interviews with the University's founders, Sri Amma and Sri Bhagavan, as well as with the University's senior staff: Acharyas Anandagiri and Samadarshini, and hundreds of Oneness Facilitators all over the world.
Awakening into Oneness is neither an evangelical text of conversion, nor an expose. It is an attempt to summarize the effects of a movement that has spread extraordinarily quickly all over the world and affected millions of people. |
 |
| ...And a New Website |
| On awakeningintooneness.org you can read excerpts from the book, order directly from us, and find out about events connected with the book's release. Since this is a phenomenon that is growing so quickly, there is also a section of the site with the latest news about the Oneness University and the spread of the Oneness Blessing all over the world. |  |
| Being Fearless: the Omega Institute Annual Conference in New York |
| The Omega Institute's annual conference in the middle of New York is an extraordinary event. Just a few blocks from Time Square, participants and speakers gather from all over the world to explore the boundaries of human potential. This years featured speakers include Al Gore, Jane Goodall and Arrianna Huffington.
Arjuna and Camille will lead a one day Oneness Intensive on Friday 13th, a talk about the Oneness Blessing on Saturday 14th, and a deeper love event on Sunday 15th. Please join us there. |
 |
| Upcoming Awakening into Oneness Events: Berkeley, Ashland and Hawaii |
| With the release of Arjuna's latest book, Arjuna and Chameli will be back on the road for most of 2007. Please see the event schedule for more details.
Upcoming events and intensives include: |
 |
| The Yogini Paradise Retreat in Greece |
| This retreat has been a dream among many of the Temple network for a long time, to gather together by the OCEAN, in the SUN, to deepen in feminine practice together... to dance together... as well as merging with the miracle of nature. In this retreat women will enter a deeper exploration of the potential latent in feminine practice.
Prepare yourself for some serious Bliss, sweat, showers of tears, deep silence and hot sun on your skin, the grace of Deeksha, the sound of water, profound initiations into the mystic feminine, ecstatic chanting, luscious food, tantric awakening of the senses.... to recognize other women and to be recognized yourself~ as the Goddess... |

| Teleconference at the Illumination University |
| The Illumination University has, for many years, been the vision of our good friends Gay and Kathlyn Hendricks. It has now come to fruition. Their goal was to create a global learning-center and gathering-place for those of us who cherish lifelong learning about what matters most in life. Thanks to innovative technologies, it is now possible to interact one-on-one, in small groups of five people or in TeleGatherings of a hundred—sitting at home in your jammies!
The Illumination University will host Arjuna for two live tele-events:

| Practice of the Month: Expand Peripheral Vision |
| Arjuna's next book will be published by Sounds True in the fall of 2007. Leap Before You Look is a series of 64 simple practices you can do any time in your daily routine to shift back into natural presence.
Here is a taster for you to try out: How: In the midst of your busy day, stop. Keep your eyes open and look at whatever is right before you. Now take a breath, and expand your vision to include what is immediately to the left and to the right. Take another in-breath and expand your vision even more to include everything that's before you. Take another breath, and expand attention to include everything even from behind your left shoulder to behind your right shoulder, so your attention is equally distributed over the entire range of vision, to include peripheral vision. Remaining like this for a minute or two ~ feel your own essence. |
