Mission Statement
The focus of our community is to maintain a sanctuary of peace, where body, mind and spirit are united in contemplative meditation and service to our local community.
Community Description
Founded in 1973, Morningland Community is a thriving non-residential Yoga community formed around our unique dharma tradition. We are a self-sustaining urban intentional community that maintains a sanctuary of healing, peace, and meditation open to people of all faiths.
Our spiritual practice is Maha Anu Ati Yoga, a path of kundalini awakening and unfoldment which is sustainable in modern life and a diversity of lifestyles. Our core principles are non-violence and contemplative service.
We maintain an active Seva program for our community and visitors with an organic garden and a food program in which waste is transformed into viable support to our local community. Known to our neighbors as “the bread people,” we have been able to feed people and sustain ourselves for over 45 years through “simple living and high thinking” (Yogananda).
