Happiness is the greatest Divine birthright – the buried treasure of my Soul. –Paramhansa Yogananda

Come share this whimsical evening of laughter and spiritual friendship! 

How long has it been since you’ve been to a dinner party filled with laughter, joy, and spiritual community? Now, more than ever, seems like the time to bring people together in music, merriment, great food, and Divine friendship.

WHAT IS A SALON EVENING?

Salons originated in 16th century Europe and were popular well into the early 20th century. Nowadays, when most people hear the word “salon” they think of the places where one goes to get their hair and nails done. But original salons were gatherings (often dinners) held for amusement, inspiration, and friendship. LET’S BRING BACK THE CLASSICAL SALON- a great way to share a wonderful evening filled with joy, laughter, and new friends!

Register NOW! To attend, you MUST REGISTER in advance. Spaces are filling up!

HOW IT WORKS:

Ananda Thousand Oaks will be beautifully decorated for a special evening of spiritual community and joy. Each guest will bring a vegetarian dish to share—and something “else” to offer the group. When it’s your turn, you’ll have a maximum of five minutes, or as little as thirty seconds to share your something “else.”

What could that something “else” be? Anything at all! A story, a poem, a song, a riddle, music, a fascinating fact, something funny or touching, imaginative or artistic… even a moment of silence or a gesture from the heart… anything goes!

The possibilities are limitless—and so is the fun! All while enjoying a delicious vegetarian dinner in divine friendship. That’s the spirit of Salon Evening: a joyful celebration of creativity, connection, and individuality.
