DESCRIPTION:Online & In-person\n$5-$20 | Enroll for free\, use promo code FREE. \nBook now/OnlinePlease register in advance; a Zoom link will be emailed 1 hour before the session\, or join Zoom directly via your Momence dashboard. \nBook now/In-PersonWe appreciate advance registration. \nJoin Swami Vimalananda and Surya Stuart Dick for this interfaith celebration. We will open a discussion on the holy day’s mystical and practical significance in Jewish\, Christian\, and Yogic traditions. There will be time for personal sharing.\nPassover is the Jewish holiday of liberation. It represents freedom from the constructs that bind us. But where does that leave us? We know how the Jewish telling of the holiday plays out\, but those who were uprooted didn’t know what would happen next. Or how to cope.\nStuart will highlight tools from the Jewish teachings as we search for ways to manage profound personal and communal change.\nHe’s alive! He’s alive! Jesus died on the cross but after three days. He was alive and showed himself to many people. Even doubting Thomas saw Jesus’ hand with the nail marks. Jesus rose from the dead!\nThe essence of Easter is that Jesus demonstrated that there is immortality. Only his body died but his essence was alive. What if we are all immortal and only our bodies die and our Self lives forever? Can this really be true?\nPlease join Swami Vimalananda for a short talk and discussion about this incredible event and its implications.\nEveryone is welcome to stay for tea and light snacks afterwards.\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.
