Ananda Worldwide spiritual directors Jyotish and Devi Novak, recipients of the United Nations Global Ambassador of Peace Award, will give an inspiring talk about finding peace in an uncertain world. Ananda is based on the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda, who was a leading teacher of yoga in the West and the author of the influential spiritual classic Autobiography of a Yogi. Founded in 1968 by Swami Kriyananda, Ananda includes eight intentional communities and more than 164 teaching centers and meditation groups.

The Novaks are authors of numerous books, including Touch of Light, Touch of Joy, Lessons in Meditation, Faith is My Armor (a biography of Swami Kriyananda) and the 30-Day Essentials Series (practical and inspiring advice on such topics as marriage, career and wellness from a yogic perspective).

This program will also include a book signing, yoga demonstration “dance” to uplifting music and a meditation class for beginners.
