2007 European Tour

I followed Amma home from Europe on November 20th, and continued to serve on staff for the San Ramon programs, retreat, and Devi Bhava. The tour ended for me when Amma left San Ramon for Michigan on Nov. 27th. That made up nearly 7 weeks of serving the Divine Mother on a journey that spanned 2 continents and many countries, cultures, and languages. The adventure was absolutely amazing, difficult, all expanding and ego destroying all at the same time. Mother Kali brought to light and shattered many hidden egoic patterns, breathed life into forgotten pieces of divinity within, and awoke a deep inner light and longing. Ever does that longing burn brighter as the soul, weary from wandering, points the compass of the heart towards that long forgotten goal of merging back into the Divine. The soul rejoices at the remembrance of that long forgotten memory, and tears flow down the face at the glimpse of the possibility of going Home. In Mother's presence, spiritual transformation simply happens for anyone who is prepared to surrender to the process.

Some short video clips of the European and US Fall tour on Amma's site tell a small piece of the story:

I hope to find time in the coming weeks to describe some of the great adventures that took place as we traveled through Holland, Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Ireland, and then back to San Ramon in California.
