what we do
We provide spiritual support and sacred services to help invoke the Divine into every moment—including joyous life-events, challenging transitions, and daily practices that nourish the soul.
worship in action
Worship manifests in many ways. With a collaborative work ethic, we guide and support creative projects and visions that are direct manifestations of divine worship.
spiritual support
The spiritual reality is at the core of our being. We offer spiritual support and guidance for individuals, including young adults, families and community.
sacred ritual
We support you to make sacred ritual a meaningful part of your everyday life and to sanctify milestones like weddings, house blessings, new endeavors, and more.
centers of faith & learning
To serve centers of faith and learning, such as ashrams and universities, we offer discourses, sacred music, ritual and ceremony, interfaith dialogue, guided retreats and advisory support.
videos about our offerings
These videos show a little bit of what we do. We’re focused on the active manifestation of worship, and how we can support and inspire that in individual lives and in community. Worship begins in the heart and manifests in action.
Worship in Action: We guided a community to envision and build a Hanuman Mandir and retreat in México. We’re also supporting its community members in learning and practicing traditional worship.
We created Sangita Yoga, through which we teach and present India’s sacred music as an essential form of divine invocation.
