Nondual Friends - New Orleans

New Orleans, LA

"If we took 3,000 years of religious and spiritual teaching and distilled and distilled it into a single sentence it would read: Happiness is the nature of our being and we share our being with everyone and everything" "Friendship ... is, in [the nondual] approach considered to be a vehicle of understanding-- a pathway in its own right" Rupert Spira Looking for an opportunity to explore the non-dual understanding with others in person-- in New Orleans? Please join us. If you are drawn to recent expressions generally referred to as the "Non-dual, direct path" and perhaps even a dose of "Analytic Idealism" lets find ways to support each other and the work we do in the world.

New Orleans Chapter Rosicrucians

Kenner, LA

The Rosicrucian Order, AMORC, is a school of learning offering a system of study that enables people to develop their full personal potential. It is not a religion and does not prescribe a set code of beliefs or conduct. Rosicrucians come from every religion and background in the world. The objective of the Rosicrucian Order is to provide proven methods that individuals can use for their self-development, in the privacy of their home. By using ancient techniques, these students gradually develop their inner abilities. The first contributions to the body of Rosicrucian knowledge came from the writings and thoughts of ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman philosophers and mystics and continue up to the works of many of the greatest thinkers throughout the ages as well as our contemporary scientists and mystics. Our time-honored studies give access to the accumulated knowledge of history's greatest teachers in the form of practical lessons and exercises mailed to the student's home. Benefits from following this course of study are limitless, and provide a never-ending source of energy and creativity. People are invited to form their own philosophies of growth, and to tap into the wisdom and power already inside of them. The Rosicrucian lessons offer ancient truths which people can apply immediately in life, using techniques developed through the centuries. Individuals will discover inner wisdom and strength, while enhancing their physical, mental and spiritual well being. The lessons cover a broad range of topics such as healing, psychology, philosophy, and the soul. The teachings include not only current wisdom, but also encompass natural laws not usually taught by conventional systems. Exercises and experiments allow students to personally test the validity of the material. For example, the lessons include exercises in proper breathing to promote vibrant health, developing intuition, relaxation techniques, and using visualization as a tool to achieve goals. Monthly lessons are mailed to each student's home, with an hour of study per week recommended. The lessons are structured in a gradual system to provide safe, balanced development. Exercises in meditation, concentration and contemplation are included to help the student. Instructors are also available for assistance through mail correspondence. Students of the Rosicrucian teachings share a desire to learn more about the natural laws of life. Though the answers to life's questions are inside each of us, many people do not know how to gain access to this vast knowledge stored within. They yearn to find out why they are here, whether they have a purpose in life, and what that purpose is. It is this journey of internal discovery that draws people to the Rosicrucian Order. The information and guidance students receive through the Rosicrucian studies are based on ancient, time-tested principles. These practical lessons encourage people to explore new concepts while in the privacy of their own homes. Through the process of developing their intuitive powers and discovering their potential for inner guidance and direction, students begin to develop their own personal philosophy. As a result, they experience a profound sense of freedom: freedom to question, freedom from fear and limits, freedom from dogma, and freedom from intolerance. As the possibilities in life multiply, students become very centered and focused, with high self esteem and a sense of personal empowerment. A genuine sense of security comes from within, serving as a constant source of strength, inspiration and comfort. This journey of self empowerment results in positive changes that affect all areas of life: physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, relationships, and finances. That tells you a little bit about the Rosicrucian Order. Do you have any questions?

Anyone can do it. It's that easy. But with the Sahaja Yoga experience, you'll quickly realize, it isn't your typical "Meditations 'R Us" type class.

A structured guided meditation is always included. In this way, you will both experience meditation, and be able to start meditating at home from the first day you start.

If you're having trouble juggling the challenges in your life, Sahaja Yoga Meditation might well help you manage stress, master your emotions and find solutions to your problems. You may enjoy better health, better focus, and a deeper understanding of the universe and your place in it.Meditation is not just for mystics and monks. Ready to plug into your inner energy? A few minutes of your life may be all it takes to connect to your inner energy and light the path to lifelong transformation. Sahaja Yoga is more than a temporary solution or quick relief — it is a journey, rather than a destination. All sessions are free. No strings, no catch.Everyone is welcome.

How is it done?

– Socialize a bit and know other participants with similar aspirations

– Introduction – suitable for complete beginners. How to meditate, and balance your inner being– About chakras and techniques to cleanse them

Rest of introduction in form of a poetry :)
Free Sahaja Yoga Guided Meditation
Founded in 1970 by 'Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi'
Sahaja Yoga is a simple but profound technique and always free
Just with pure desire we get meditative once we awaken our Divine energy

Depression and stress are fruits of modernity
Techniques are shared that help when practiced with regularity
Sorrow just peel off when in meditative witness state and purity
Be with meditative people with noble pursuits to shed social anxiety

Sahaja Yoga is a meditation very social with spiritual growth achieved in collectivity
In balanced and joyous state eliminate loneliness with spiritual solidarity

Life transformation does not come with sermons or postures with no durability
Work on inner system roots, water with pure desire and shine some Divinity
In Sahaja Yoga meditation following just comes, like a seed that just germinates
Metaphysics, Consciousness, Self improvement, self empowerment, mindfulness and mental clarity

Meditation is not a pill but a plant needing nourishment with sincerity
And if you ask if we do Spanish program, our answer is - 'si'

While we cannot predict through meditation what heights you will achieve in life
Our heart felt desire is to always share joy and knowledge in simplicity
Our experiences say you will not be ordinary any more, shaken easily by any rife

New Orleans Cooking Club

New Orleans, LA

Welcome, to everybody who loves cooking and food. We've been going for about 2 years here. I have a group of gamers who meet regularly, but would like to expand a bit. I've cancelled all gaming-related events, except for the Magic: The Gathering ones. You won't see RSVPs for these, but we usually have members from the same group of 4-10 people show up weekly. So if you play, do come over. The food is good and we're fun people. Here are some of the types of events I've organized in the past (there is a still-active group up in Cleveland). If you'd be interested in trying any of these, or have a lead on some volunteer work, please reach out. 1\. Cooking lessons\. I taught kontoutsu ramen for a couple of years\, and still have people over when I make kimchi\, but the idea is just for any member to teach a recipe to the rest of us\. You don't have to be a trained chef $I'm not$\, just have something you love\. 2\. Volunteer work\. I tried and failed to find stuff around town last year\. I gave away my car\, so finding anything we could do as a group will be tough\. 3\. Bar crawls\. Emphasis on the crawl\. I personally love to explore the city $walking from 5\-20 miles\, round trip\, over the course of the day$\, dressing up\, graffiti\, and also enjoy food and cocktails\, but not so much the getting trashed part\. No judgment if you enjoy it\, my days of heavy partying are just done\. :\) 4\. Local festivals\. This is probably where I'll start planning\, likely in November\. If you know of something that is awesome but maybe not as advertised\, please let me know\. 5\. Restaurants\. I usually try to limit the number of "try new restaurants" events\, since there are already other groups for that\, and it can be cost prohibitive for some members\. But I'm always down if you know a place\. 6\. Paid professional cooking classes\. Similar to \#5\, I try to limit these\, but it's been a blast the few times I've tried it with some members\. There are a few public "cooking schools" in NOLA\.
