STAY TUNED FOR OUR 2024 JANUARY OFFERING.
Our JANUARY 2023 ZOOM SERIES
CHARTING THE PATH TO INNER FREEDOM
Meditative Practices from the Yoga Sutra
with
SARASWATHI VASUDEVAN
Thursday from to 5 – 26 January 2023
Following the overwhelming feedback from our previous Charting the Path series, we offer a Thursdays in January 2023 Series to see the New Year in.
Each Thursday from 5 – 26 January, 3.30 – 5.30pm AEST we will look into some of the meditative practices from the Yoga Sutra and other traditional texts. While there are numerous methods and techniques of meditation being taught and practiced today, many of the powerful models given in the Yoga Sutra still remain to be explored.
Together we will explore how to deepen our practices toward reconditioning the mind, and how to teach and use these practices for the benefit of others. Can we use these practices to understand our-self better? Can we apply them for healing? How can we progress with them?
Join Saraswathi, our masterful proponent of the Sutras, to investigate, explore and practice some of the most powerful models of meditation found in this vital text. Saraswathi will draw from the Yoga Sutra and other resources with which she has intimate knowledge, to enliven and engage us in activity, reflection, practices and meditation.
This exploration will aid us in our journey to a greater understanding of who we are from a yogic perspective, understanding the root of our actions, how to integrate and go beyond.
Physical practice is one thing.
Theoretical understanding another.
Linking these with experience is what brings change, more awareness and contentment to our lives.
We urge you to come and take this time to integrate your knowledge and practices, experience and grow – personally and professionally. Chart your path to inner freedom.
