Announcements

Last chance to register! Inspired by teachings passed down for 27 generations in the Ywahoo family, this workshop is suitable for those interested in learning to deepen their practice of peace and service to Mother Earth and all sentient beings. This semester’s theme is “Interconnection with the light within.” We hope to see you this weekend.

Upcoming Events

Save the date: May 31, 2025! Just as the sky reflects on a clear lake, our thoughts and emotions become what we see, the environment we live in. A teaching about insubstantiality is a teaching that sees a mirror as an opportunity to recognize our natural, luminous state. The mirror practice is meditation, contemplation, pacifying appearances of dissonance into realization of clear insight. Join us for these special teachings given by Ven. Dhyani Ywahoo. The registration link will be shared in the following weeks.

Join us for the Ywahoo Lineage Global Healing Celebration on April 5, 2025 at the Sunray Peace Village or online via Zoom. This is a special time on the planet and we can recognize our own inherent wellness. In this tradition one makes a personal request for healing to start the flow of blessings. If you'd like to request prayers, please include your first and last name. If family or friends are directly requesting prayers, you can include their names. Please send names to healingcelebration@sunray.org at least 30 minutes before the start time.

Join the second Peacekeeper training taking place in Europe on May 1-4, 2025. We will gather near Warburg, Germany in places known to be sacred to our middle European Mesolithic ancestors. Language of instruction and discussion will be in German.

Feeling the call to help Sunray in some way? You are invited to join the Sunray Skillful Means Tech Team! It's a good, easeful moment to join this fab, global Tech Team to support the streaming needs of the live events for Venerable and her invited guests sharing their wisdom. The Tech Team offers monthly training on the 3rd Wednesday of each month. Sign up below to join us!

We’re pleased to announce that "Peace Village" and "Passing the Flame," envisioned and directed by Sunray’s beloved community member, Katherine Marielle, through her Mutual Abundance Media, is available for rental and purchase on Vimeo on Demand. 

Sunray welcomes you to a handful of recurring free events to support you through your weeks ahead. Every Saturday we host the Sunray Saturday Practice at 10am ET on Zoom. Every Tuesday, we host the Boston Meditation Circle, which all may join via Zoom at 7pm ET. If you are based in Lincoln, Vermont, we host weekly meditations at the Adawee Temple at the Sunray Peace Village on Thursdays (7pm ET) and Sundays (10am ET, except New Moon Fire Sundays). If you are based in Canada, we host monthly Sunray Canada meditation sessions on Zoom. And finally, once a month, we follow the Tsalagi ceremonial cycle in celebration of the New Moon on Zoom and at the Sunray Peace Village.

Connect with us! Sunray Meditation Society has two social media channels to share news announcements throughout the week: Facebook and Instagram. We also have a community driven Facebook group where you can participate by sharing your links and interacting with other Sunrays across the globe.

We Are One With All Life

We are relatives in a time of awakening.

We are reminded that caring for all our relatives on Mother Earth nourishes us all.

The way forward “... is compassion and recognizing a vision of healthy families, clans, nations and all beings.” Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo.

Receiving the wisdom gifts of our elders prompts us to express our gratitude through:

*Offering prayers*

*Words of comfort to others*

*Envisioning a healthy world*

*Offering other personal resources* 

All support an unending cycle of thankfulness and give life to an Earth that supports all beings.

At Sunray Meditation Society, sacred ceremonies such as ceremonial new moon fires, meditation practices, and healing celebrations are neither bought nor sold, in contrast to workshops and other teachings where registrations are offered.
