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. Ramananda offers practical methods of integrating the timeless teachings and practices of Yoga into daily life\, and transforming the painful aspects of human experience into steps toward realizing one’s full potential.\nHe leads beginner\, intermediate and advanced level Yoga teacher training programs in San Francisco\, and offers a variety of programs in many locations in the U.S.\, Europe and South America. Ramananda co-developed the Stress Management Teacher Training program with Swami Vidyananda\, has trained many teachers to bring Yoga into corporate\, hospital and medical settings\, and has taught mind/body wellness programs in many locations. He is a certified Yoga therapist and founding board member of the Yoga Alliance\, a national registry that supports and promotes yoga teachers as professionals. He is a co-founder of The Spiritual Action Initiative which brings together individuals committed to working for social justice for all beings and for the care and healing of our natural world. His warmth\, wisdom and sense of humor have endeared him to many. \nGary Kissiah was introduced to Eastern philosophy in college when he discovered the writings of Alan Watts which led to Zen. He found yoga in 2000 and has been studying and practicing yoga since that time. Gary has a Certificate of Yoga Philosophy from the California Institute of Integral Studies. He has studied yoga at Esalen Institute\, Big Sur California; Parmarth Niketan Ashram\, Rishikesh\, India; and Satchidananda Ashram-Yogaville\, Virginia. He has led spiritual trips to Nepal\, India and Tibet.\nGary is the author of “The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali-Illuminated” which uses images to illuminate the inner meaning of the Yoga Sutras.\nGary is also a lawyer and teaches workshops on yoga philosophy\, ethics and law for teacher training programs.
