AUM 2011: A new world is born

"A new world is born -- all those who want to have a place in it must sincerely prepare themselves for it."

"The very quality of the atmosphere has changed."

-- The Mother

Theme

The theme of the 2011 All USA Meeting (AUM) is “A new world Is born”, inspired by the Mother’s vision of a new world that has already been born and of which we are for the most part still unaware. As forms of the old world seem to fall apart, it seems more relevant than ever to align and tune ourselves to the divine frequencies of this new creation.

Program

This year we are aspiring for an experiential and interactive conference. There will be more audience-participatory formats for presentations and workshops as well as a balance of activities so that not just the mind but other parts of the nature are engaged. Especially, since emphasis on the psychic being is key to connecting and resonating with this new world, it is hoped that the event will bring about a change of consciousness for organizers, presenters, and attendees alike. Those presenting at AUM 2011 are contributing based on their affinity with the theme or because they are steeped in the subject matter or some aspect of it through their ongoing work and research.

Keynote presenters will be Georges Van Vrekhem (via video conference), Aster Patel, Narad Eggenberger, Lynda Lester, and Loretta Shartsis. Many additional speakers, facilitators, workshop guides, and activity leaders will contribute to the program, helping to make AUM 2011 a rich and integral experience.

Location

The conference will take place in Lodi, California, located just 35 miles south of Sacramento and 90 miles east of San Francisco. Attendees will stay at the Holiday Inn Express (1337 East Kettleman Lane, Lodi, CA), experience the profound spiritual vibration of Sri Aurobindo Sadhana Peetham (SASP), and enjoy the beauty of nature at Lodi Lake.

SASP, which houses the relics of Sri Aurobindo, is a residential ashram for the practice of Integral Yoga. Nestled among the vineyards in the central valley of Northern California, the ashram holds collective retreats once a month for friends, families, and visitors. The SASP retreat community is planning and hosting AUM 2011.
