“You begin with ambition of some kind. Then, at a certain stage, meditation becomes instinctive. Then you cannot not meditate – it happens to you.”-Chogyam Trumpa
This ongoing group meets on the 3rd Wednesday of each month to explore and refine aspects of our meditation practices – how we sit, why we sit, and how that relates to our lives. The format consists of a group meditation with some direction, a talk on a related subject and a question/answer session with sharing.

Prajna took her first yoga class in 1970 in southern California. Later that year she came through the doors of the Berkeley IYI, and since that time she has loved Integral Yoga.
Over the years she has maintained an active involvement in movement, healing, and meditation. She has practiced yoga, tai chi, and various dance forms; co-authored two best selling books on Holistic Health; lived and danced flamenco in southern Spain; and since 2000, has taught Rosen Movement. In 2010, she completed her IYI Teacher Training at Yogaville, and began teaching yoga. She brings to her teaching four decades of meditation practice, the last twenty eight in the Buddhist tradition.

Attuning to the wisdom of the body/mind and opening to the present are the foundations of both Prajna’s teaching and personal practice.

Voting and Beyond: Build Your Spiritual Foundation for Election Week & The Weeks After

$20, $35 | Please register in advance, a Zoom link and passcode will be provided via confirmation email

It becomes more evident every day that the times of non-participation in our society have come and gone. Many people, and the planet, are making it clear in more and more blatant ways that they have had enough. With the upcoming election, let us set up a spiritual foundation through a community practice so that we can move through this time with resilience, clarity and our hearts connected to what’s most important to us and the bigger-picture
Questions we will explore:

  • What is our role as spiritual people in engaging with these political systems?
  • How do we find the balance of personal security and wellness, taking care of our loved ones, contributing to our community, living our purpose?
  • What can I be doing so I can look at this time with no regrets, and go to bed at night knowing that I have done my part?

The teachings of “right action” and “karma yoga” show us that through aligning our soul with the actions we take, we can find meaning, purpose and balance in this complex world. In this interactive gathering, we will each have the opportunity to explore how powerful principles of political engagement from a spiritual foundation can take form in our own lives.
