Many of us might think there is no relationship between Christianity and Yoga, and yet, the more I study, the more I find that the responses to our deepest human questionings are often the same, couched in different language and different practices. The Rules of Discernment, written in the early 1500’s, are completely consistent with Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra.

In this three hour workshop, we will learn about the rules of discernment, and how they can add a depth and clarity to our thinking, to our faith practices and ultimately to our experience of peace, resting in “our own true nature.” This is an exciting, interactive and inspiring workshop where we explore the overlap of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras and Saint Ignatius’ rules for spiritual development in our movement towards our own true nature.

All are welcome, of any or no faith, and all will benefit, especially those interested in the intersection of various faith traditions and in creating a greater capacity for understanding multi-faith perspectives.

The Purusharthas can be translated in Sanskrit as the “goals of human existence” or “the soul’s purpose.”

In this engaging three hour workshop we will learn about these four aims, how we can connect them to our lives now, and what we might be able to do to set ourselves on a more steady course towards their attainment. We will spend time talking, in silent contemplation, journaling and creating simple art that reflects our desires and illuminates a pathway to greater ease and freedom.

This class is great for yoga teachers wanting to know more about Vedanta, yoga students wanting to better understand their practice, and anyone who would benefit from some focused time for reflection and recalibration.

This class will include 45 mins - hour of light asana.

Molly has been singing and chanting in some way for as long as she can remember. Coming from a family that sang together and even has a family songbook, she went on to sing in school productions, later in bands, and even later, in kirtan and chanting practices.

This workshop is not about having a "good" voice, being "able to sing" or learning specific vocal exercises. This workshop is about finding power and connection through chanting and singing, about learning to listen, learning how to create a safe and reliable ground through our voices, and learning to explore outside of our comfort zone, knowing we will always be held, knowing we can always go "home."

This is a powerful, joyful experience for anyone. Singing or chanting experience is not necessary, All voices radically welcomed.

In this two hour experiential workshop, we will talk about the true power of prayer, and how we might add authentic prayer to our toolbox of support. In the second hour of the class, we will begin to develop our own personal prayer that we can use to soothe our own frayed edges or to offer as a gift to someone in need of encouragement.  $45 if purchased only, reduced rates for buying more than one workshop.
