Living Essence Foundation Newsletter

Dear Friends:

Fall is upon us, and we are settled into our mountaintop home in the forest with four cords of firewood. This summer was a wonderful time for us. We visited family in England and Norway, and then attended the No Mind Festival in Sweden, where 1200 people gather each summer to celebrate and deepen together. Everyone had an extraordinary time together, most especially our two sons who loved the idea that it did not get dark till after midnight, so there was no reason to go to bed before 1 am. We also spent another month at the Oneness University in India, where Arjuna completed the research for his next book Awakening into Oneness, which will be published in several languages in the spring of 2007. The book is about the amazing impact of deeksha all over the world in the last years. This fall we will both be visiting Europe for evening events and workshops, and also offering events in the winter in the US. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

With all our love,
Arjuna and Chameli

Arjuna has been leading the Living Essence Intensive weekend since 1998, and during that time more than 4000 people have participated.  The weekend includes an invitation into radical awakening using self inquiry, and the "plug in" to remove resistance to stuck feelings and beliefs. The highlights of the weekend have been recorded by Sounds True on six CDs, complete with many dharma talks by Arjuna, guided exercises, and live demonstrations.  The CD set features music by Leonard Cohen, Peter Makena, Deva Premal and Miten and Maniko. For October only you can buy the CD set for a 20% discount when you order directly from the Living Essence Foundation: $55.96 instead of $69.95.
