Dear AMG Members and Friends,

We are extending an invitation to you and your friends to join us next year for a monastic-led retreat weekend hosted by the Albuquerque Meditation Group on March 20-22, 2026. The event will be held at the Marriott Uptown hotel; for those of you not from the ABQ area, it is located 15 minutes from the Albuquerque Sunport (airport), and very close to the I-40 and I-25 junction. We have reserved a block of rooms at a very good rate.

The event will be patterned after the SRF Convocation, and will include public lectures; videos / films; meditation technique classes; dedicated rooms for meditation, reading, and a “parent-child” room; and a Kriya Yoga initiation. But you do not have to stay the whole weekend - you may pick and choose the classes you would like to attend.

We soon will have an information page set up on the AMG website, and we suggest that will be the best way to keep up with the news about the event. There will be a link to the registration page in mid-November where you can sign up to attend, and it will have the hotel information (including the code for the discounted room rate). In the meantime, feel free to email us at [albuquerque.srf@gmail.com](mailto:albuquerque.srf@gmail.com) if you would like more information.

One important note. if you are new to SRF or the Raja Yoga path and are interested in receiving the Kriya technique, the technique Yogananda described as the "airplane route to God," you must have completed the SRF Lessons through Lesson 16 to be eligible (the Kriya application comes with Lesson 17). This takes about 8 months, so if you are not already a lessons student, we suggest that you apply for the lessons now so that you will be eligible for Kriya initiation next March.

Thank you in advance, and we look forward to the possibly of seeing you next March.

In Divine friendship,
The Albuquerque Meditation Group
