The Moon Reminded Me:
Mystical Poetry and the Awakened Heart

An Evening with Acharya Shunya and Yogacharya O'Brian

Poetry says what the mind can only glimpse but the heart knows full well. It is the ancient language of the soul spoken by all mystic bards of Bhakti, the yoga of devotion calling us to awaken to divine Love. Through the ages, poetry persists as the soul insists on revealing itself again and again. O'Brian’s reading from her new award-winning collection of poems invites the mind to sink into the heart of divine remembrance.

Experience what New York Times Bestselling Author Khaled Hosseini describes as “From one poem to the next, O’Brian’s lens shrinks and widens without effort, to exhilarating, near vertiginous effect. Her images flit from the ordinary to the timeless, from the foam of a wave absorbed by sand, to the ancient longing of humans for the Eternal. Above all, she is aware, on every page, and beautifully, to the immovable presence of Love in the universe.”

Come—listen, meditate, remember what matters most, who you really are.
