SUMMARY:Satsang: The Shared Wisdom of the Tao and Yoga
DESCRIPTION:Online & In-Person | By donation $0\, $5\, $10\, $15 \nEnroll/Online Please register in advance\, a Zoom link and passcode will be provided via confirmation email. \nEnroll/In-person Please review our In-person Safety Guidelines. \nWhen we fail to experience our innate connection with the web of life\, our lives become a relentless effort to make the world conform to our limited vision. This can lead to a never-ending attempt to arrange and acquire things in order to be happy. Both the Tao\, sometimes called the Watercourse Way\, and the teachings of Yoga guide us to uncover our natural state and learn to live in harmony with the Universe\, and the energy found in it.\nPlease join Gary and Ramananda for an exploration of how these traditions offer a way to let go of striving and stress\, tune into our inner wisdom and learn to align ourselves with the natural flow of the Universe. A simple vegetarian meal will be offered after this in-person Satsang with a suggested donation of $5-10.\nSatsang 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.\nPeople of all faiths are welcome.\nSwami Ramananda\,C-IAYT\, RYT-500\, is the Executive Director of the Integral Yoga Institute in San Francisco\, C-IAYT\, and a greatly respected senior teacher in the Integral Yoga tradition\, who has been practicing Yoga for over 45 years.

SUMMARY:Satsang: Yoga for Healing Collective Trauma
DESCRIPTION:Online | By donation $0\, $5\, $10\, $15 \nEnroll/Online Please register in advance\, a Zoom link and passcode will be provided via confirmation email. \nBecause of the high value that the dominant culture places on individualism\, it’s common for trauma to be investigated and addressed through an individualistic lens. However\, trauma experienced by a group of people is a collective experience—and transforming these wounds together reminds us that we’re not alone on our journeys.\nIn this workshop we’ll explore the role that Yoga can play in the transformation and healing of collective trauma—in particular\, collective trauma experienced as a result of living under structural and systemic oppression.\nSatsang\, 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 spiritual paths may diverge\, the act of sharing spiritual teachings with others is inspiring and creates a solid foundation for continued practice.\nPeople of all faiths are welcome.\nKamala Itzel Hayward was a lawyer for over a decade before becoming a Yoga teacher and Yoga therapist specializing in trauma\, addiction\, and wellness. She is passionate about bringing Yoga and other healing modalities to adults facing chronic stress caused by living under oppression\, such as racism\, sexism\, homophobia\, transphobia\, classism\, ableism\, and more.\nShe is founder of the Integral Yoga Institute’s Scholarship-Based Yoga Teacher Training for Black\, Indigenous\, People of Color. For the last 12 years\, she has been sharing Yoga with individuals facing housing insecurity and related challenges\, including systemic barriers; structural oppression; social dislocation; physical\, emotional\, and mental health challenges; substance abuse; and addiction. She sits on the Advisory Board for the Trauma Prevention and Recovery Certificate Program at the City College of San Francisco.
