Where Are We Now?
Saturday 11:30AM-2:00PM
Ancient yogic texts speak about times like this: times of despair, suffering, fear, anxiety, corruption, and lies. They also speak to how to live in these times in a way that makes a difference not only in our own lives, but in the lives of others.
In this workshop we will explore these yogic concepts in light of our own experience.
The Yamas: “Can You Just Stop Making Things Worse then They Are?”
Saturday 3:00PM-5:30PM
With the events of today, we are encountering a new level of challenge. It is imperative that we grow ourselves up to meet these challenges. But how to do this? The yamas, when understood as a conversation with our life in the context of the world we live in, grows us into deeper skill and discernment of right action. In this workshop, we’ll explore how this happens.
The Niyamas: New Habits for the Mind
Sunday 11:30AM-2:00PM
The niyamas are an invitation to cultivate the finer qualities of being for the mind and heart. They teach the mind and heart to love tranquility and harmony. They bring out the inner powers of benevolence, fearlessness, and compassion. It is from here that we are able to act in the world with unstoppable clarity and courage.
Your Mind on Meditation
Sunday 3:00-5:30PM
Meditation is not only the heart of the yoga practice, but yogic texts tell us that in dark times like these, meditation is the most powerful practice we can engage to counteract the dark forces within and around us. Let’s explore why this is true, what is happening to the body, breath, and mind as we meditate, and what is unleashed within us that makes us a different people.
(All workshops include lecture, discussion, gentle practice.)
