Silent Sittings and Open Inquiry
Meets: Most Thursdays 6:30 to 8:00 pm
Location: Grass Valley/Nevada City area
Dates: April 23rd, April 30th, May 7th, and May 14th
Phone: 530-274-1405
Please call in advance for other dates and directions.
Come and relax, open, and experience the potency of stillness. The perfect antidote for fear, worry, and the sense of separation that creates suffering.
We begin each meeting with the power of stillness—what you are—your true nature—already and always awake—the still presence behind all sense perceptions. Together, we unleash the profound wisdom of who you are, which naturally dissolves all senses of separation. When this wisdom is not clear, all other pursuits are temporary placebos that calm the symptoms of doubt, worry, wanting and emotional pain. Temporary resolves recycle again and again. Resolving the inquiry, “Who or what am I?”—not as a description of accomplishments and accumulations, but as a direct knowing—is the key to peace eternal.
Beneath every life circumstance or story of separation is the direct experience of non-separation, oneness. These meetings—often called “Satsang,” which translates as “to join together in Truth”—are an invitation to discover the depth of who you are. All are welcome.
Fee is $15.00. (No one is turned away due to lack of funds.)
Please call 530-274-1405 in advance for other dates and directions.
Awakening Women Embodiment Journey
You are invited to the 4th annual awakening women’s embodiment journey. We will explore spiritual awakening as it emerges and blossoms in female form. As we are birthed into this form through the wombs of our mothers, we are blessed with both visible and hidden strength, challenge and beauty. This journey is designed to bring forth your hidden potentials; understand and resolve issues that block the fullness of your self-expression; access and cultivate the power of stillness and deep listening; and integrate body, heart and soul. You will learn how to recognize and be free of the voices in the head that can cloud your vision. Together we create a safe spacious environment for soft curves, full bellies, emptiness dancing, silent discoveries and spontaneous expressions. The power of the collective focus and intention of awakened women will deepen your roots in the feminine flow of wisdom, a power that can not be acquired, attained or lost, as it is what we are.
This is not a therapy group, although healing happens; this is not a prayer group, although devotion happens; this is not a practice group, although inquiry happens. During this journey you will become a lover of fear and a flower to yourself, nourished by heart wisdom, grounded in your essential self and forever holding hands with compassion.
Meets: 1st Friday of each month January to July, 2009 in Grass Valley.
Dates: Jan 2; Feb 6; March 6; April 3; May 1; June 5
Thursday: 6:00 to 9:30 pm.
Time:9:30 am to 4:30 pm with a break for lunch.
This group is full. If you would like to be invited to our open meetings or added to our waiting list for the next journey, please submit your inquiry directly to Prajna at prajnang@yahoo.com or call her at 530-274-1405.

Writing Down Your Wisdom
In this writing workshop you are given space, encouragement and support to go as deeply as you’d like into the wisdom of your true voice. This is a wonderful practice that clears you of critical self-analysis, opens your heart and leaves you feeling uncensored and free. We practice deep listening through writing and reach different levels of self-discovery. Space and encouragement are given to enter our spiritual dimension and to share our discoveries. No prior experience as a writer is required.
Meets: on Tuesdays.
Start date TBA.
Please call us at 530.274.1405 or email: info@flowingriver.us with your interest.
“Prajna's love of Truth is exquisite and is an invitation for all those that love Truth.”
~ Isaac Shapiro and Mieke Schutt, International Satsang Teachers
What is “Satsang”?
“Dear Prajna, Thank you for satsang. I am more able to be still, and it is changing my life. I have made many changes since my husband died. I am sorting out my 63-year marriage slowly, and still learning. It is wonderful that so many young women have found you. I admire your work and what you do in spite of the trials that your special children have given you.”
~ Magdalene Jaeckel Grass Valley, CA
“Prajna’s radiance of light and life is well grounded in the here and now. I value her as a woman, teacher, and friend.”
~ Maya Hill, Sculptor Nevada City, CA
“The whole experience of the women’s embodiment journey was safe with encouragement (as in, everything is welcome) and support for our hearts to be open and our innate wisdom to emerge. I touched a deep longing to do public speaking. I joined Toastmasters and won a contest, I’m on to the next level and more... It was my experience with the women's group that propelled me to go forward, after years of wanting to, I am.”
~ Jinnae Anderson, Editor Morgan Hill, CA
“I couldn’t put your writings down. I read it three times. You give expression to aspects of spiritual awakening that I’ve yearned to hear about from male teachers. I’ve passed it on to all of my women friends. We can’t wait to read the whole book.”
~ Amanda Lane, Sebastopol, CA
