Come and enjoy a meaningful morning with us at the goshala, where we’ll be feeding and massaging the cows in a peaceful and supportive environment. This unique event offers a chance to connect with these gentle creatures, learn more about their care, and share in an uplifting community experience. We’ll also be diving a little deeper in the spiritual significance of cows, and their symbolism as an emblem of nourishment and the importance of that.
This event is hosted by Akhil Yeleswarapu, Markanday Ravi, and Gabriel Bégin. We are three friends who are in the process of creating an organization designed to bring spiritual people together. Our intent is to make it easier to find like minded people, enjoy spending time with them, and support one another. All of us have found it tricky to enjoy spirituality in community. By building a network we can make it easy to learn together about grounded and effective spirituality relevant to our modern lives.
