The most important journey we can take is the journey within. This is a journey to the truth of who we really are. There is a place, beyond everyday consciousness, where spiritual empowerment begins. Spiritual power enables us to choose creative thinking rather than automated thinking, response rather than reaction, and peace, love and harmony rather than stress, conflict and chaos.

The host was unbelievably hospitable. We arrived unannounced a few minutes prior to her needing to take a conference call, and she allowed us to stay unattended and meditate and share the space. Instantly felt very at home and welcome.
The area has a beautiful front entrance with books for sale and a few seats that opens into a classroom area. There's also an isolated meditation room off to the side. Very relaxing and good for meditating and finding mindfulness.
Afterward, we spent close to an hour just conversing and relaxing. Again, felt very welcome and at home. Def recommend stopping by no

One of the best places, resources for meditation and guidance on all things Spiritual. This is a subtle gem available to all Chicagoans and denizens of the metro area. Sister Mary is one of the most wonderful and peaceful human beings and a teacher you will ever meet. She radiates instant tranquility through her sheer presence.
I highly recommend a drop in meditation or a class here.

Dear Friends,
This is an amazing place and Rajyoga meditation makes your life even more beautiful. It takes away all the stress and helps you know the purpose of your life.
What is beyond this body? Who is God? What is the purpose of our life?
Why are we here? How does this world function? Why things happen in my life like the way they happen ? Can I be happy, peaceful and contented irrespective of anything which happens in my life?
All these questions and even more get answered when you learn Rajyoga meditation.
I have been practicing meditation since quite sometime now and I feel I have become
