April 23-30

here comes the sun

Just this week, the earth again came around in its perennial migration to the place where the morning sun hits the RMC straight on. And so for another season the window blinds are drawn to protect against the wash of the shafts of light that come pouring in from the east.

The first program of the season arrived on the weekend. There were almost 30 participants on hand for a meditation retreat with Jason Siff, who teaches a practice of Recollective Awareness Meditation that is very fresh and compelling.  We discovered over the course of the weekend that Jason is also fairly conversant with the Theosophical tradition. Having been a monk on Sri Lanka, he was well aware of Theosophical Society co-founder Henry Steele Olcott’s role in reviving Buddhism in India, and he has also taught at Springbrook, a theosophical retreat center in Queensland, AU, that is similar to Indralaya.

We also learned over the weekend that Tim Boyd has been elected International President of the Theosophical Society (Adyar). Congratulations Tim! Our love and good wishes go to you, Lily, and Angelique as you all embark on this new chapter of your lives.
