BAPS Mandir Temple
Come join us to visit the amazing BAPS Mandir, or holy Hindu Temple. Building this temple required state-of-the-art engineering, contrasted with ancient carving techniques. From cutting-edge earthquake protection technology to hand-carved marble archways, this Mandir represents a unique fusion of traditional Indian architecture and modern construction. We will enjoy a privately led tour, and our guide will explain the history, religion, and architecture of this beautiful temple. It is rich with symbolism and detail, a true delight to the eye. Our knowledgeable guide will answer questions and explain some of the Hindu rituals.
We will gather before the tour for a special meditation class, during which you'll be able to experience a unique guided meditation. I recently attended a meditation course, and am excited to share what I learned with you.
A gift shop, cafe and bakery sell vegetarian meals and unique Indian baked goods, for those that are interested to browse afterwards.
Date: Saturday afternoon, May 4th
Time: Meet at the entrance at 3:30 PM for meditation class, Mandir tour begins at 4:30 PM.
Location: 15100 Fairfield Ranch Rd. Chino Hills
Cost: $25
Friends and partners are welcome to join us.
Note: In respect to the Hindu Mandir, please wear appropriate modest clothing. Shoulders and legs should be covered. No tank tops or bare shoulders please.

Join us in Tuscany, Italy!!!
Join us for a 5 day, 4 night retreat in the beautiful and famous Crete Senesi area of Tuscany!
We will be staying in a large Italian villa, which is divided into private wings, each with 2 bedrooms and private bathrooms. There is a large dining room where we will share delicious meals from our on site Italian host and chef, with specialties from the region. He is an amazing cook: you will eat well! I can personally attest to his great cooking! His enthusiasm and excitement for food are contagious. We will all eat together Italian style, enjoying pastas, fresh vegetables and salads, and of course rissotto! Enjoy the local cuisine, olive oil, cheese, wine, and Italian coffee!
A beautiful outdoor space was built for our yoga classes, overlooking the beautiful valley. Sunrises and sunsets are amazing here.
During the retreat we will take day trips to historic and quaint hilltop towns, where you can wander through to experience the architecture, churches, quaint alleyways, and pop into bakeries and eateries featuring local cuisine. We will visit a nearby monastery featuring beautiful hand painted frescoes, and a winery that is run by the monks. I guarantee you will love it all!
My recommendation for those who can, is to spend time in Italy either before or after the retreat... there is so much to see! Rome, Florence, Cinque Terre, Venice... all are fantastic! I will be happy to offer recommendations.
The trip dates will be May 9th - 13th 2024, and will include accommodations, breakfast, dinners every night other than one evening, allowing a chance to try local cuisine while touring, and daily yoga.
Cost is $1075 per person, double occupancy. There may be an opportunity to book a single, based on availability.
Trip is limited to 10 participants only... don't miss out!
Flights and rental cars should be booked on your own, but recommendations and help will be given if needed.
