According to the Vedic/Tantric tradition, Guru Purnima i s the day of the year on which we celebrate and acknowledge our Spiritual Master. This most sacred occasion is held annually on the July full moon, which in 2009 falls on July 7th.

This year Synchronicity is offering an expanded celebration as a means of expressing our incalculable love and gratitude to our own Guru, Master Charles. This day-long celebration will begin with a Yagna from 9:30-11:00am. An afternoon session with staff will enhance our understanding of the Guru Principle and the role of the authentic Master in the spiritual journey of the disciple. Integrative Protocols will also be available.

The evening program will feature a traditional ceremony in which Master Charles celebrates his own Guru, just as we honor him. This will be followed by dialogue, meditation and Group Empowerment with Master Charles. The evening program, including his Group Empowerment, will also be available to a worldwide audience via teleconference or podcast.

Shoebox Dialogues - Volume 3

A few times a year, Synchronicity Sanctuary opens its doors to the public and shares the experience of Modern Spirituality and Contemporary High-Tech Meditation with interested individuals.  On the occasion of these Open House Weekends, Master Charles is invited to speak to the assembled guests for an evening dialogue.  Over the years, rather than plan a specific theme, he has chosen a more spontaneous approach through what he has playfully referred to as his “Shoebox Dialogues”.  Randomly choosing a number of quotations from his shoebox collection, Master Charles brilliantly weaves them together to create a most enlightening discourse.  In addition, the Shoebox Dialogues are shared with Synchronicity Associates world-wide via teleconference and podcast.

Trust & Watch - New Year Message 2009

On New Year’s Eve 2008, as the highlight of the The Master’s Empowerment Retreat “The Power of One: Recovery and Renewal”, Master Charles delivered an inspiring and uplifting dialogue to the assembled guests and well as those joining us from all over the world via teleconference and podcast.

Master Charles began the evening with a New Year’s Message from the Blessed Mother which he delivered to the audience at her request. He then elaborated on his understanding of the message given to him by the Blessed Mother while he was held captive at the Oberoi Hotel in Mumbai. She spoke only these few words “Trust and watch.” Yet by meditating deeply on her directive, Master Charles was able to transform his experience into one of great love and light. Through his enlightening insight, he raises our awareness of how we, too, can transform our experience into a blissful expression of Divine Life.

Summer 2008 Stillpointe Silent Retreat - Be the Experience You Choose to Have

On the first evening of the Summer 2008 Stillpointe Silent Retreat, Master Charles delivered an empowering dialogue to the assembled guests. Focused on the theme: “Be the Experience You Choose to Have”, Master Charles emphasized once again that authentic spirituality is always about experience over concept.  Additionally, he pointed out that choosing one’s experience has nothing to do with wanting, which creates an illusory future… but rather, it is all about Being, which is here and now.  To order, click here.
