ASTARA.ORG

"The VOICE of ASTARA has 69 years of speaking directly to spiritual seekers that study Astara, members and students alike and we’ve taken the publication into the contemporary world of the digital age“

DEDICATED TO LIVING IN THE LIGHT

There is an entire culture surrounding a spiritual lifestyle and The Voice of ASTARA has been launched to consciously celebrate that lifestyle. In our pages, you’ll find information, resources, inspirations and products that are all designed to help you live a life dedicated to “Living in the Light.” Now, more than ever, a meaningful and purposeful lifestyle is commanding center stage in our communities, cities, homes and nations. These are not the woo-woo days of past, where thinking and living ‘outside the box’ was discouraged.

A life of wellness and spiritual growth is becoming a more accepted, integrated, healthy and elevated way of living: based on science and research, practicality and ethics.

From the food you eat, to your meditation practice, the way you breath and the products you purchase- infusing your life with a knowledge of an energy that interpenetrates us all, reveals what really matters and how your lifestyle reflects those elements that are most meaningful. Based on Astara teachings; “That to explore oneself is the most important journey an individual can take”-The Voice of ASTARA is here to help you along the way.
