All Day Christmas Meditation (In-Person and Online)

In 1931, Yogananda started the tradition of an 8-hour meditation just before Christmas to celebrate the awakening of the Christ Consciousness within.

Over the years, many devotees have had deep life-transforming experiences during these longer meditations. We hope you can join us as we dive deep into the presence of God, Christ, and our Gurus. 

Throughout the day, we will experience periods of meditation and chanting.  We will also listen to recordings of beautiful music and the words of Paramhansa Yogananda and/or Swami Kriyananda. 

You can join us for all or part of this meditation, but please enter and leave during chant breaks if possible.
