"Oft I sat with those unforgettable hours — When I beheld the Infinite Emerge from pale unanswering walls of blue — And unite my soul with thee, Mounts, skies, and me!"
Paramahansa Yogananda
Poem about Lake Chapala, 1929
La Casa de Milagros, Chapala
The traditional pueblo mágico of Chapala—once visited by Yogananda, who said it would one day be the site of a great spiritual awakening—offers the perfect setting for our Strawberry Fields Fiesta. The Fiesta brings together collaboration, music, movies, mystical sessions, and spontaneous miracles, all lovingly held by the Living Miracles community and its residents.
Feel the warmth of the Mexican sun, the ease and rhythm of local culture, and the depth David Hoffmeister speaks of: “If you want to wake up, go to Mexico!”
Our center, La Casa de Milagros—a monastic A Course in Miracles center used for retreats since 2014—welcomes all who feel the call to awakening. Step into the experience of Strawberry Fields, where “nothing to get hung about” becomes real. Come for the music, stay for the miracles.
Living Miracles Monastery
The Living Miracles Monastery is the first A Course in Miracles monastery in the world! Its foundation lies in the mystical teachings of Jesus as taught in A Course in Miracles. Reverence, mindfulness, and silence are our guides. This monastery is a place of devotion and quiet contemplation.
The Monastery sits atop a 150-foot stone cliff wall in the mystical Strawberry River canyon in Eastern Utah, two hours east of Salt Lake City. With stunning views in all directions, it is a magical place to unplug and simply be!
The buildings and grounds are artfully created for peace, comfort, and relaxation. With lots of room to roam, you’ll find many areas to explore with private nooks and corners for quiet contemplation.
