SUMMARY:Sunday Spiritual Talk: The Healing Power of Community
DESCRIPTION:Online\n$5-$20 | Enroll for free\, use promo code FREE. \nBook now/OnlineWe appreciate advance registration. \nJoin Swami Ramananda and Joy Ravelli for a heartfelt exploration of how spiritual community offers the support and safety we need to meet our inner challenges with honesty\, compassion\, and renewed courage. Sharing our journey with like-minded seekers can awaken clarity and deepen perspective\, and knowing we are not alone brings profound relief.\nTogether\, we will engage in practices such as grounding through guided meditation and establishing personal and community intentions. We’ll reflect on the habits and emotions that obscure our natural peace\, share in small breakout groups\, and focus on developing new strategies to nourish ourselves and each other for a healthier future.\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.\n\nSwami Ramananda\, C-IAYT\, E-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 co-founded The Spiritual Action Initiative (SAI)\, 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. \nJoy Ravelli is a master teacher with over 30 years of leadership in the field of human potential\, consciousness\, and authentic lifestyle. Joy is the founder of Pursuha Yoga\, Purusha Seva Project\, and Purusha Studio. Joy is now the owner of Holistic Joy Yoga\, which provides professional education and certifications\, group classes\, retreats\, private sessions\, and community-building experiences for organizations. Joy is the author of “Threads\,” an experiential dive into the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali through everyday practices. Joy is a shamanic yogi who has received her most significant and poignant teachings from nature\, such as trees\, animals\, and bodies of water. Joy has dedicated her life to deepening an understanding and appreciation for conscious beauty and a certainty of truth that exists within all sentient beings and throughout the world.

The program is offered both online and in person\, though attending in person is recommended.\n\nRAAMA Having practiced for many years already\, Raama began his journey into the deeper aspects of Yoga\, Tantra and Meditation on Sadhana Retreat at The Scandinavian School of Yoga and Meditation in 2009. He was deeply affected by the authentic teachings of Swami Janakananda who in turn was directly mentored by Swami Satyananda of the Bihar school of Yoga in India\, over 50 years ago. It was truly a life changing experience and Raama has dedicated his life to practicing and teaching yoga ever since. An experienced class teacher\, workshop presenter and teacher trainer for both Integral Yoga and HealMe Yoga\, Raama is currently Vice President of the Integral Yoga Institute\, San Francisco. By sharing his personal experience of Tantra\, Raama now hopes to encourage others to truly incorporate these practices into their own daily life. His informed\, compassionate and light hearted approach will ease you through resistance to experience new insights and profound personal growth. Raama has been inspired by Renata’s inquisitive mind and dedication to her practice of Tantra and is delighted to offer this unique workshop as the first of a new collaborative partnership. \nRENATA Renata began practicing Hatha Yoga two decades ago\, initially drawn to it for its physical benefits\, but soon realizing how other aspects of the practice are also beneficial for mental and spiritual wellbeing. In 2014 she started to deepen her yoga journey\, studying under Vimala Ren Fields of the Healing Arts and Yoga Center in Fredericksburg and began teaching in 2015 at various locations in the area. Renata has a gentle approach to yoga and her teaching style expresses the calmer aspects of the practice\, emphasizing breath awareness and an overall sense of peace and balance. She believes that yoga is for everyone\, and through her kind and tranquil nature she seeks to inspire students to experience the true essence of yoga\, on and off the mat. Renata met Raama in 2018 on a Graduate level Teacher Training that he was leading for HealMe Yoga. Remaining in contact ever since\, Renata has gradually incorporated Tantra into her existing Yoga and Meditation practice with his guidance\, encouragement and support. Renata’s experience of developing from a “novice” in these techniques\, to having a regular daily practice under Raama’s patient mentoring\, has led them to now both being uniquely qualified and prepared to introduce Tantra to a wider audience as teaching partners.
