The Call to Remember

The Calling

Ruthie: Four years ago, I heard the mountain calling. It came as a simple mention of a place from a beloved who had been there.

My senses lit up: this place is important; pay attention.

Within a year, the mountain brought me to meet it. Alchemy, synchronicity, calling, remembrance. These are many ways to talk of it.

Ultimately, I land on being called and answering the call. And in the answering, receiving more than I could have imagined. New relationships, insights, connections to guides and guardians, deeper love and alignment, an understanding of all that I do not know (the great mystery) and a comfort in not needing to understand with my mind, to rest in the divine that holds me. Infinite receiving. 

Last year, I began to hear a newer call. This one: to bring others. Those who are also feeling called ~ to the mountain, to themselves. And, to do so with my beloved friend, Tiffany.

We don’t know what the mountain will offer you; what you will offer it. We simply trust that if you are called to join us, you will find what you need.

And we will be there to help you access the teachings of the mountain, to help you make sense of what you discover, to offer practices so that the transmissions that you receive are graceful and easy to integrate - appropriate to your current unfolding. 

Om Namah Shivaya

Tiffany: How can I speak about the ineffable?

The power of a holy mountain and being called by vast and potent energies to a place ~ a place that feels like my biggest teacher, no, my most beautiful and powerful teacher, that feels like it calls me home? What does it feel like to be called by a place, by a mountain? Is it a longing, is it knowing, is it a feeling, is it a perfect, magical opening of the way, of all the things lining up and making a way when there was no way? 

Maybe it's all of these things.

All of these things and more happened for me in being called to the holy mountain of Arunachala in Tiruvannamalai, India.

I had always wanted to go to India as a vague longing for travel and longing for being able to be in that place, and things suddenly and magically aligned for me to go and to be deeply supported there by beloveds and to be with the people, be with the energies ~ it has been such a blessing for me to be invited and welcomed to this place, to be held by Sangham House, to have the way opened for me, to be welcomed by the mountain, by the powerful energies there ~ the transmissions, the direct transmissions of healing and goodness and power and grace are beyond speaking, beyond mind ~ to experience them is a blessing beyond. 

The Divine is always in all things, and yet there are places that are potent, that are powerful, that are teachers, that call us.

Tiruvannamalai is a holy place, Arunachala is a holy place ~ the people are beautiful, the field is coherent, the devotion is palpable ~ it is very earthly and divine, extremely expansive and expanding. 

The gifts that I have received from my time there have blessed my life and all of my relations in innumerable ways and continue to do so.

I have fallen in love with a mountain and will return again and again and again, and I humbly invite those who feel called to join me, who feel the call to be at Ramana Ashram, to be with the people, and the shrines, to be in the caves, and with the healing and goodness of the palpable, benevolent energies, accelerations, and karma clearings, re-knowing and transmuting all in love and in God, there and within each one of us, and to help transform and align more fully with that which is blessing this world in a really good and much~needed way at this time, as a potent blessing for us all.

I am deeply honored to be invited to help hold this doorway open with my beloved friend and co-teacher, Ruthie, to this wonderful place and these life-changing energies and experiences. 

Sangam House is a miracle.

Arunachala is a miracle. 

And for those of you who have worked with either or both Ruthie and me, you know that our work is in loving presence and awareness and always in alignment with Source and with the highest good in integrating these energies physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually and supporting the beauty of our time together as we are called to be on retreat at Sangham House on these beautiful lands at the foot of this holy Mountain.
