About Aspire
Aspire is a non-denominational spiritual community located in Carmel, California, dedicated to helping individuals move along the path to spiritual awakening through direct experience and inner transformation. Founded by Siraj (Gregory Penn), an ordained minister and spiritual teacher trained in Tibetan Pulsing meditation techniques, the organization offers meditation workshops, retreats, insight counseling sessions, and discourse-based teachings rooted in universal spiritual principles rather than any single religious doctrine. The community emphasizes breath work, mental disciplines, and practices designed to reconnect practitioners with what Aspire calls the "breath of spirit," drawing from teachings across multiple traditions including Buddhist, Taoist, Sufi, and Hindu wisdom. Visitors are welcomed into a contemplative environment focused on consciousness, compassion, and the cultivation of love as a way of life, with offerings including meditations, podcasts, video commentaries, and immersive retreat experiences throughout the year.
