REMEMBER FATHER GREENHOUSE ?
Fr. Richard Arko was the Catholic priest in Barberton, Ohio who grew marijuana in the rectory bedroom closet until the police took notice.
He has reinvented himself.
Meet Rudra, founder of Sacred Ground Yoga. Don't those blue eyes just melt your heart? He's cheap. Ten bucks for a lesson. Maybe my Red Hat Society should sign up. We could wear purple sweat pants and some red feathers in our hair for the sessions. Our Queen Mum would have to specify, though, that we didn't want Judy, Cynthia, Pam, Sue, Lois, Patricia, Aileen, Cheryl, Paula, or Monique to conduct our sessions. Greg, who lives in Fairlawn with a partner and three cats, won't do either. We want Mr. Blue Eyes, himself. Maybe he could hold a special session of his workshop, "Divine Indwelling: Discovering the Light Within." Might be interesting to explore the gods of choice of a former Roman Catholic priest.
According to Judy's bio, she has been practicing at Sacred Ground Yoga for seven years. Arko apparently had his little realm in the making for awhile. I guess those yoga sessions he conducted in the parish hall were the beginning of something big.
There doesn't seem to be anything of his former incarnation as Catholic priest in his website except for the meditation class. I wouldn't suppose he is channeling the Trinity.
We are so, so in need of a housecleaning!
Thanks to a reader for the link.
