There is a vast body of content across time and cultures on the experience of thinking and how this function of the mind can lead to profound suffering. The Yoga Sutras describe yoga as “the restraint of the modifications of the mind-stuff” (योगश्चित्तवृत्तिनिरोधः॥२॥ – Yogas Citta Vritti Nirodhah), suggesting that mental activity distorts reality, resulting in a sense of disconnection and pain.

Modern teacher Eckhart Tolle speaks of identification with form—particularly attachment to thought forms—as a primary factor in the creation of ego and the illusion of a separate “me.” Similarly, many Western psychotherapeutic approaches focus on our interpretations of events as a core driver of emotional distress, aiming to increase awareness of thought patterns and promote cognitive restructuring as a path to well-being.

Overall, both conscious and unconscious attachment to thought forms is a significant theme closely linked to spiritual and emotional suffering. In this workshop, we will explore how both Eastern and Western teachings approach the nature of thinking, and we will learn techniques to help loosen the grip of thought and free ourselves from its trance.

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.
