What we’re about
Founded in 1969, Sunburst’s purpose is to create a fertile environment, within and without, to cultivate spiritual growth and nurture each seeker’s direct experience of the Divine. This is the journey of Self-Realization!
We facilitate spiritual education and support through workshops, retreats, meditation, our Sunday services, and devotional song circles, as well as classes and initiations in Kriya Yoga: the universal science of uniting the soul with the Infinite Spirit.
In accordance with our mission, Sunburst is also passionate about exploring and implementing the principles of sustainable Earth stewardship through permaculture and organic gardening.
