what are community groups

Community groups are weekly, closed gatherings of about 8-12 people with 1-2 thoughtful and experienced group leader(s) that take place in person or online. They are designed for participants to pursue spiritual growth and develop meaningful relationships with those at a similar stage on the spiritual path.

GROWING BHAKTI SAT-SANGA

level 2 community group for those who appreciate and practice bhakti

Growing Bhakti is for those familiar with bhakti and looking to develop their faith and bhakti practice with a group of people who also appreciate bhakti. Over the course of 8-10 nweeks the group spends time reading from important bhakti texts like the Bhagavad-gita, and discussing topics such as bhakti philosophy, developing a bhakti practice, making healthy lifestyle changes, and developing one’s relationship with Krishna and others on the bhakti path. 

Growing Bhakti Sat-sanga provides a space for people to learn how to practice bhakti-yoga and to deepen bhakti practice, to share thoughts and realizations, to express doubts and ask questions, and to find inspiration and support on the bhakti path.
