Monthly Satsang - Coming Together as Community.
“Satsang” is a combination of two sanskrit words: sat meaning “Truth” and sanga meaning “in company of”. So when we gather for satsang we are coming together in the company or community of Truth.
The Yoga Academy of North America (YANA),are delighted to be host these monthly informal gatherings of spiritual reflection, discussion, meditation and other practices to support each other on the journey of living yoga from moment to moment.
Details of this month’s Satsang:
Awaken the Higher Mind - A Discussion on Eastern and Jungian Perspectives
With Swami Shankardev Saraswati
In this 75 minute satsang , Swami Shankardev will discuss developing mental and emotional resilience through Yogic philosophy and western psychotherapy approaches.
Those in attendance are invited to ask questions and share their own strengths/weaknesses as it pertains to their personal development of resilience, especially in these turbulent times.
The goal of the session is for all who attend to walk away with inspiration and light to sustain a more positive expression and manage the many challenges that life may bring.
The satsang will end with a short meditation practice.
Swami Shankardev Saraswati says…
“In my medical practice I work with various emotional problems. I support people to understand what their emotions are, and how to engage them rather than run away from them or pretend they don’t exist. It’s one thing to have an emotional problem; it’s another to be constantly running from it. I combine specific Eastern and Western healing modalities to achieve this. This lecture will describe my approach.
Clients who use these methods regularly and who engage with their issues with self-awareness become greatly empowered. That empowerment often leads to improvement in many other areas of their lives, as well as alleviating the problem they originally wanted to address. I believe that this is the effect of a holistic approach to healing.”
