Yoga teaches that much of our suffering arises from a disconnection from our true nature. While physical and emotional pain are real, our relationship to them shifts when we begin to experience the spiritual presence at the core of our being.
Join Dahlia and Swami Ramananda for a reflective discussion on how reconnecting with this inner source supports genuine healing, offering greater clarity, steadiness, and a more peaceful way of meeting the challenges of daily life.
Everyone is welcome to stay for tea and light snacks afterwards.
Satsang is a special time for us to come together as a community. In Sanskrit, Sat means truth and Sangha means community. Satsang offers an opportunity to come together to share spiritual teachings. The philosophy of Integral Yoga is explored often through an informal discussion. Although our spiritual paths may diverge, the act of sharing spiritual teachings with others is inspiring and creates a solid foundation for continued practice.
People of all faiths are welcome.
