Special Bay Area Oneness Event
with National Coordinator Matthew (Uttamaji)
This Sunday, November 23, Matthew Ottenberg (Uttamaji), a Oneness Being and the Oneness North America National Coordinator, will be hosting two special Bay Area events:
San Mateo event, 2:00 to 4:00 pm
San Francisco event, 7:15 to 9:00 pm
Matthew will talk about developments at the Oneness University in Fiji and India, new Blessing and Prayer conference calls and courses that are being offered in the United States, and Vivienda, the San Diego facility that Oneness North America is purchasing as our first North American retreat facility. Matthew will give a slide and video presentation about the facility and will talk about our plans for programs that will be offered there.
When the U.S. Oneness Trainers asked Anandagiri last month when the Oneness University Guides would come to the U.S., he replied, "As soon as you buy the facility in San Diego." The facility in San Diego will benefit and host both Oneness Blessing givers as well as the general public. For this reason, we will also be fundraising at this event for the monies needed to purchase the facility. We also ask for a $20 admission fee to cover the cost of the event. No one will be turned away on account of finances.
In addition, the Oneness Trainer for northern California, Kathi Unger, will talk about Oneness Trainers and two new weekend courses she will be offering on behalf of the Oneness University in our area beginning in early 2009.
At the end of the evening, Matthew will give an intentional Oneness Blessing.
This is a very special event and we are honored to be the first two cities Matthew is visiting on his six-city West Coast tour to promote Oneness and to raise awareness of Vivienda. Please encourage all your friends who love Oneness to come join us for this special evening.
What to Bring
We only have seating for a limited number of people, so please bring mats, folding chairs, back jacks, and/or pillows. You may want to lie down after you receive the Oneness Blessing, so please bring a yoga mat, Thermarest pad, and/or a blanket.
