About
the CentreThe Centre received the Blessing of its new name 'Sevalight',
meaning 'working as One in The Light for God', from Mata Yogananda Mahasaya
Dharmaji in 2019, having been known as a Self Realization Meditation Healing Centre from 2003 to
2018. The Self Realization Sevalight Centre is run
by a group of professional Healers and Intuitive Counsellors who are
committed to the highest ideal of unconditional
love in all they do. Their aim is to give support to those struggling
or suffering in life on any level, and to assist those who seek inner
knowledge and personal growth in the pursuit of peace, health and
happiness.
Pure
Meditation is
a central part of the life of the Centre and
training is offered to a deep level under the guidance of Mata
Yogananda Mahasaya Dharma. The Centres worldwide offer Diploma courses
in
Pure Spiritual Healing,
Intuitive Counselling & Coaching and Sevalight Hatha Yoga Teacher
Training for those wishing to take these skills into their lives or
professions. For further information, please

Gardening Angels needed ♥
We have some lovely gardens near
the Centre ~ and they are filled to the brim! We are happy to point out
which plants need to be removed/composted if you are not an experienced
gardener. Enjoy creating a more beautiful garden with satisfyingly
visible results!
Trail Blazers needed ♥
Our walking trail is looking
very jungley and hard to find! We have some manual tools, but if you
have a weed-wacker to bring with you, even better! We also have a
lovely pile of wood chips to spread once the greenery is removed.
Woods clearers ~ Tree-freers needed ♥
Our rural Centre-home is nestled
in 3 acres of woods which are being invaded by garlic mustard +
invasive vines: honeysuckle, bittersweet plus grape and poison ivy. We
need help to free the trees by cutting/detangling/removing the vines
that are already climbing & choking them. Then continuing to
repeatedly cut the invasives until they are exhausted so we don't have
to resort to poisons! Happy, free of invasives, trees and woodland
areas help create a more nurturing environment for all to imbibe in
nature's wonder, peace and healing.
We
are looking for someone or a couple to join our Centre's family so
we may help more people to find lasting peace, health and happiness.
Our rural Centre-home is nestled in 3 acres of woods with a frog &
goldfish pond and a wooded park next door. Together we care for the
Centre, grounds, and all who come in every way including: cooking
delicious vegetarian meals, cleaning, gardening, maintenance, PR, admin
and special projects. We warmly welcome everyone of all faiths,
traditions & peaceful practices to come to the Centre ~ imbibe the
peace & quiet and connect within ~ whether through silent
meditation & prayer, overnight retreat, healing, or our Courses on
spiritual living. We see the Pure Meditation we practice as an ideal
way of life ~ giving us the tools to deepen our peace and wisdom both
inwardly when sitting and outwardly when doing; and we accept other's
meditations. There is no hierarchy. We are each responsible for our
thoughts, words, actions/jobs. We have the Blessing of a True Guru
(wise soul), to give guidance if we wish to ask for her help. We pray,
play and serve together with Love. Might this be for you or someone you
know? We look forward to speaking to you soon.
