Child Centered Spiritual Activities (CCSA)

Every 1st and 3rd Sunday of each month from 10:00am - 11:15am.

While the parents are enjoying our regular Sunday service, your children will be learning the ancient practices of yoga geared especially toward them!
CCSA differs from traditional Sunday school or from childcare, the children are lead through yoga postures and other specific yogic exercises, including meditation and affirmation. Each gathering will also consist of a theme based one spiritual quality such as peace, joy, courage etc. We will do activities and read stories pertaining to the theme. CCSA is led by at least one adult member of our congregation who is assisted by one of our teenagers. For more info contact Maitri at 972-994-0524 or familyministry@ananda.org

Envision Ananda Dallas 2012

Sunday February 12th 9:00-12:00

Last year our theme was “energy” and out of that came our teaching series “Age of Energy” and the beginning of our search to expand from our current location. There is much to share from the expansive energy of 2011 as it flows into 2012. This is our opportunity as a sangha to come together and review 2011 then look to this new year and the direction we want to go together in our journey of Joy! Come help us brainstorm ideas and coalesce our energies into our 2012 theme and direction. You bring your enthusiasm and ideas; we will provide lunch!

 We will dive deep in meditation and purification first as part of our usual Sunday service morning and then have a special service dedicated to our Envision Ananda Dallas Retreat Day.  After lunch we will have a roundtable discussion on updates, ideas for 2012 and areas of focus ending with breakout groups on those areas. We will wrap it all up by 2PM.

This is our most important community organizing gathering of the year, please support the sangha with your presence and input on this special day.
