CPAK 2024 LOCATION
CPAK 2024 is located at the Expanding Light Retreat, within the spiritual yoga community of Ananda Village in the scenic Sierra Nevada foothills of Northern California, 90 minutes northeast of Sacramento, California.
Ananda Village includes several sacred temples, including its largest, the Temple of Light, a three-minute walk from where CPAK 2024 is held. The Temple of Light, with its dome-shaped sanctuary, was designed and built as a Dwapara Yuga temple, encouraging meditation and sending light out to our galaxy.
To stimulate higher consciousness, the Temple of Light includes a unique copper Yantra under the main altar, touching the earth. This Yantra includes sacred Sanskrit mantras and symbols, gifted to Ananda by a holy swami from India who many years ago intuitively foresaw the creation of this temple.
The Yantra, when combined with the meditation that occurs in this temple, acts as an ‘energy conductor”, sending out magnetic rays that radiate in concentric circles outward through the earth filling the planet with light and peace. Guests to CPAK 2024 will have the opportunity to attend a special musical kirtan inside this temple on Friday evening, October 18th.
