As Mā Retreats, Let’s Gather

Join the Lost and Found Book Club

While Mā Umā-Pārvatī is taking time for a deep retreat through February, we wanted to let you know that her blog, Lost Forest Notes, will be on pause for the time being. Though new posts won’t be coming, the wisdom already shared is still very much present, and we’d love to stay connected with you during this time. 

That’s why we’re happy to tell you about the Lost and Found Book Club, guided by Authorized Teacher and Guide Melanie Shank. With her love for both literature and sādhana, Melanie has created a space where we can gather to reflect on Mā’s blog writings and share our own personal insights. 

There is no cost for this offering.

Upcoming Sessions:

• November 7th, 2 - 3:30 pm NYC/EDT
• December 5th, 2 - 3:30 pm NYC/EDT

How to Register:
Just send Melanie an email if you have any questions or to sign up for the Lost and Found Book Club Sangha. Once you’re registered, she’ll send you a Zoom link and reading selections a week before each session.

In these monthly gatherings, we’ll explore the depth of Mā’s writings and the powerful insights they offer. This is a wonderful opportunity to stay engaged with her teachings while she’s in retreat.

What’s Included:

• A short meditation to ground and center
• Reflections on key phrases and ideas from the blog
• Breakout groups (3-5 people) for deeper conversation
• Full group sharing, feedback, and closing thoughts

We hope you’ll join us for this special opportunity to come together, reflect, and absorb the wisdom within Mā’s writings.
