| At
the age of 24, Tom Kelly entered the Self-Realization Fellowship
monastic Order in California (founded by Paramahansa Yogananda),
whose roots go back to the ancient lineage of Swamis from India.
Taking vows of simplicity, chastity, obedience, and loyalty, he
spent the next 25 years as a monk deeply involved in meditation
and humanitarian service. As an inspirational speaker, workshop
and retreat leader he has travelled world-wide teaching the sacred
art of Raja Yoga. |
| "NOW
IS THE TIME to awaken to the truth of who you really are -- an
immortal being of ever-present joy." --Tom Kelly |
| In the fall of 1999,
Tom left the monastic life in order to expand his training and
share the fruits of his self-transformation and direct experience
of yoga with all. In addition to being a certified yoga teacher,
Tom is an ordained minister specializing in inspirational speaking
and generating love and magical, joy-filled weddings. Reverend
Kelly's enthusiasm is highly contagious and his large heartedness
will certainly put you at ease and make communication seamless.
Respecting all true spiritual paths, he is not associated with
any church or organized religion thereby freeing him to tune in
with your essence, your faith, your commitment.
Tom and his wife, Trisha,
teach at the Soul Center in Encinitas, a place they founded to
create a wellspring through which the higher consciousness and
awareness of yoga can be brought to the community through classes,
retreats, seminars, spiritual coaching, meditations, and chanting.
The Soul Center is a place where a beautiful outer environment
of nature and flowing water merges as one with the inner grace
and flowing beauty of one's soul. All who come there are seen
as divine beings, respected for who they are and where they are
on their spiritual journey. |
