We are devotees of Amma (http://www.amma.org/amma/index.html) who are members of Her Portland, OR spiritual community. The primary purpose of this group is to facilitate communication around satsang activities and events.

"It should be for satsang that we go to spiritual centers. By going there, people who are involved in the world can attain peace and concentration. The concentration gained when one goes there can’t be achieved if one sits at home. Even though the breeze blows everywhere, coolness will be felt more if we sit in the shade of the tree. In the same way, even though God is all pervading, His presence will clearly shine in certain places more than in others. That is the greatness of satsang. Satsang is the best thing for spiritual advancement." ~Amma
