Oct 2023 - Yoga comes alive in its varied forms

“The whole of life is the Yoga of Nature. The Yoga that we seek must also be an integral action of Nature, and the whole difference between the Yogin and the natural man will be this, that the Yogin seeks to substitute in himself for the integral action of the lower Nature working in and by ego and division the integral action of the higher Nature working in and by God and unity.” 

                  - The Synthesis of Yoga by Sri Aurobindo, Pg, 45

Yoga of Nature Retreat

Our sincerest gratitude to all the participants of our first immersive “Yoga of Nature” Retreat and the two beautiful souls who guided our journey, Saraswathi Vasudevan and Parvathi Nagarajan. It was a beautiful co-creation through a heartfelt coming together of both teachers and all the participants in an intimate and intentional manner to create the magical experience. In nature and community, we immersed and allowed the teachings and experience to shift us from deep within. A big thank you Selvi Sudanthi and the team of people that provided us with nourishing meals and snacks throughout the two days. We look forward to creating more such experiences together.

Here’s a glimpse into our two days together: https://youtu.be/mTvhaYa1dNc

Dhrupad Retreats & Concert

We were blessed thrice with Dhrupad this month—-first with a retreat at the start of the month followed by a concert and then we closed out the month with the start of another Dhrupad retreat! A big thank you to Niloy for sharing himself so generously with us.

If you missed the concert, we’re passing on the gift here, enjoy:

Looking Ahead

Minds alight with purpose, hearts ablaze,
a dream took flight last April. 

Now we find solace in this sacred space and a hundred paths to the Divine within.

November brings alive the vision of A Sunlit Path with offerings in dance, music, yoga and visual art all grounded in the rich artistic and spiritual traditions of India.

We are happy to offer community gatherings as a way for all kinds of people to come together and connect to themselves and each other in a meditative manner. Our community gatherings, including Kolam Gatherings, Moon Gatherings, Kirtans and Satsangs, will be open to everyone. We hope you feel welcome to join us and feel nourished by the experience.
