Whether you attend a 2-day or a week-long Ashram, there are many commonalities to the program, based on a discipline that has nurtured people for over eighty years! Here are some of the traditions of the Christian Ashram that make it unique.
Open Heart is at the beginning of the Ashram and is a time when we open our hearts to one another, expressing why we’ve come and what we really need. This lays the groundwork for the closeness and bonding of our time together and makes us open to the Holy Spirit working in and among us.
Prayer Vigil is held from the opening of the Ashram to the close. The 24-hour vigil is shared by the group and at least one person is always praying for the concerns that we bring.
Morning Watch is a time spent meditating over scripture and sharing the insights God has given us.
Bible Hour is a time for in-depth Bible study. Children and youth often have their own Bible based program during this time.
Evangelist Hour is when we hear teaching that is meant to stir the soul and rekindle the fire of our faith.
Prayer Group gives us a chance to come together in small groups to encourage each other in faith, and pray for each other in love.
Healing and Wholeness service gives the opportunity for leaders to pray over individuals for physical, emotional, mental and spiritual healing.
Overflowing Heart is a chance to share what God has done in our lives during the Christian Ashram.
Children and Youth Programs are offered at both California Christian Ashrams and include programs designed to fit the needs of all families.
Fun and Fellowship are abundant at the Ashram. In between the activities above you will find many activities that vary depending on the Ashram you attend: volleyball, hiking, swimming, board games, choir, and more.
