Interfaith Teaching & Meditation: Mela Interfaith Association

Teaching on a theme is usually given from a single tradition. This is valid and valuable. However, when teaching is given from two different perspectives, there is a sense of excitement and deeper awareness. Participants plunge more deeply into the fountains of life.

Rev. Dr John Dupuche, a Catholic priest, and Yogi Matsyendranath, of the Nath Yoga tradition, have set up an interfaith ashram in Warburton.

From 7.30 pm till 8.30 pm, on the Tuesdays of October 7,14,21,28, and November 4, 11, 18, Fr John and Yogi will present teachings on VOID and FIRE from their contrasting traditions. They will also describe practical methods. This will lead into a heightened experience of meditation.

Participants in the festival are welcome to make a donation according their means.

Date & Time Course Starts: Tuesday, October 7th  @ 7:30pm
Location: 3227 Warburton Highway  Warburton Vic, 3799
