In this workshop series, you will explore your inner world through practice, movement and reflection. You are welcome to join one, two or all three offerings. Please wear comfortable clothing and bring a journal.

Location: Bridge and Enrich Lives Society, 718 East 20th Avenue (Fraser and 20th)

There is lots of free street parking and it’s easily reachable by bus

Grounding

Friday May 22nd, 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.

We are born on this Earth to live fully. How can we respect our home–the natural world around us, our bodies and our potential for growth? In this workshop, we will honour Divine Mother as manifestation, and explore where we are, how we find meaning and what we want to grow toward.

Includes movement, spiritual practice and reflection.

Centering

Saturday May 23rd, 1 – 4 p.m.

In an unbalanced world, how do we find balance? Is there a way back to centre? In the kundalini system the Heart chakra is at the centre of our being, an unfolding source of compassion and a fire that burns away obstacles when we face ourselves courageously.

Join with others to approach the sacred within through movement, self-inquiry and spiritual practice.

Elevating

Sunday, May 24th 10:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

At this time when we are witness to so much suffering, where do we turn for inspiration? Let’s seek refuge within to support renewal and create space for generosity. In quietness, we will practice stilling the mind, listening for intuition and exploring pathways to our inherent wisdom, asking, “How do I put this wisdom into action now?”

Includes movement, reflection and spiritual practice.

Swami Lalitananda

Swami Lalitananda became the president of Yasodhara Ashram in 2014 and carries forward the lineage in this tradition, whose leadership is passed through women. She became a student of Swami Radha’s in 1979 and a teacher in this tradition in 1982. She had the privilege of living and working with Swami Radha for eight years and also experienced the mentorship of Swami Radhananda for many years. She has a background in counseling psychology.

Swami Lalitananda loves welcoming people to the teachings that have brought so much joy and meaning to her own life. She is committed to passing this lineage to others who are committed to self-inquiry, spiritual practices and to the challenge of learning to live together in harmony—in community and in the world.
