The format of each workshop will include a guided meditation and energy building exercises related to the topic at hand and a lecture and discussion. Each Workshop will incorporate the teachings of sacred texts, mostly from the Vedic/yogic, Buddhist, Taoist, and Christian traditions. We will also make use of the the teachings of various leaders, both from modern times and past centuries.
Frequently, depending on venue, a Hatha Yoga Asana class or other class which connects and motivates the mind, body, and spirit will be included.
The focus of the workshops will always be on how to practically apply spiritual knowledge and disciplines in order to effect a personal change in the individual consciousness of the practitioner and how to develop sadhana, the regular spiritual practice necessary for self-transformation.
A particular emphasis will be placed on sanga, the building of community with other seekers of Truth and practitioners which is necessary to provide the inspiration and encouragement needed for sustained spiritual practice and transformation. Sanga is also a source of Joy.
Through understanding the mind and the nature of how things work in existence, we can gain a new inner confidence in our ability to be the source of our own happiness, strength, renewal, and healing. In this way, we contribute greatly and positively to our sanga and we not only heal ourselves and reach our individual highest potential, we heal others and help them reach their highest potential. We heal Mother Earth and help Her reach her highest potential.
