La Source

La Source is a peaceful sanctuary based in France just 40 minutes on the train from Paris and fifteen minutes drive from the world reknowned climbing site situated in the beautiful forests of Fontainebleau and its famous Chateaux. La Source is found in a small quiet village surrounded by fields.  It is an old farm property comprising a large garden with many fruit trees and a farm house and out buildings which are currently being updated to provide workshop/retreat and accommodation space.  A Japanese Zen garden is planned as well as spaces for yoga practice and opportunities to live and work in community.  The garden gives ample space for camping and for enjoying delicious meals in the French summer evenings, whilst listening to the bird song, enjoying good conversation or simply listening to the silence.

La Source is a place of community where you can come, perhaps to have a break from your normal routine, to deepen your understanding and experience of the teachings, to experience serving one another in community and to receive inspiration as a teacher or indeed for your journey through life. 

La Source is run by Kirpal Singh and Ishwara Kaur.  Both are Kundalini Yoga teachers and Teacher Trainers with many years experience of teaching and practising Kundalini Yoga.  Kirpal Singh is also a very experienced teacher of Sacred Numerology.  Kirpal and Ishwara are both very passionate about the teachings and developing and supporting sangat (community).

From the summer of 2010 it is possible to visit La Source for seva (selfless service). 

Seva: 

Seva is an incredible blessing as it provides an opportunity to serve selflessly within a loving community.  Seva is Karma Yoga and it supports us to be humble and is a gateway to realise and develop our highest virtues through the company of other human beings.   Seva can comprise many different tasks, including cooking, cleaning, chopping wood, picking and stewing fruit and even digging if you're feeling particularly energetic.  The possibilities are endless!

With prior arrangement you can bring your tent and stay at La Source during the summer months for a few days or in some cases for longer periods, participating in seva whilst enjoying the beautiful peaceful surroundings.  (Places are limited.)  Call or email for more information.
