In this session, we will explore the deep connection between breath and energy, understanding how prana (inhalation) and apana (exhalation) work together, with samana being the stillness in between.

Puja – Sacred Fire Ceremony

Saturday – Early Evening

Join Yogi Ashokananda for a sacred Puja ceremony, a Vedic fire ritual conducted in honour of our gathering. This ceremony centres around a specific intention, with the fire prepared using carefully selected items to support that focus.

During the ceremony, Yogi Ashokananda, our pujari, will guide you through the traditional Vedic rituals. These include mantra chanting and offerings, engaging all your senses and connecting with the elements. As part of this spiritual practice, participants are invited to receive a blessing symbolized by vibhuti. This sacred substance, placed on your forehead at the ajna chakra (third eye), represents loyalty, devotion, and commitment.

The ajna chakra is associated with balancing the higher and lower selves, trusting your inner guidance, and enhancing visual consciousness and intuitive clarity. By marking this chakra, the ceremony aims to retain and amplify this energy, strengthening your concentration and purifying your thoughts, speech, actions, habits, and ultimately, your character.

This Puja is a profound opportunity to honour your intellect, connect deeply with your inner self, and leave with a sense of renewed clarity and purpose.

The Power of Relaxation:  Embracing Your True Self

Sunday – Afternoon

90 Minutes

Join Yogi Ashokananda as he explores the true essence of relaxation—a state that fosters self-healing, enhances well-being, boosts happiness, and heightens productivity. In this session, you’ll discover how tapping into your subtle body’s energy and gaining self-awareness can help you relax into your authentic self, unlocking your inner power.

Yogi will shed light on the traditional yogic principles that shape meditation and mindfulness practices. Delving deeper, he will discuss:

  • The importance of breath and prana
  • The significance of yoga and proper posture
  • How relaxation impacts the nervous system
  • The transformative power of self-realization

Throughout this session, you will be guided through foundational relaxation exercises and a fully guided meditation. Yogi will equip you with practical techniques to support your journey of self-discovery, emphasizing self-reflection, self-awareness, and self-acceptance.

These practices will allow you to embrace your true self without the constant pressure to be “happy.” By releasing this pressure, you’ll experience greater contentment and fulfillment, becoming more attuned to your behavioral patterns. As you reconcile the divide between your material personality and spiritual self, you’ll find that maintaining inner stillness becomes increasingly crucial in today’s fast-paced world.

This session centers on embracing your whole self, focusing on transforming the lower three chakras associated with grounding, rootedness, and emotional challenges like anger, sexuality, and greed. Your spirit or soul is already perfect and complete; it simply needs space to manifest your highest self. By clearing the physical and emotional pathways and shedding samskaras—the lingering imprints of unresolved emotions—you can create that space.

The key to finding peace lies in addressing both the physical and mental aspects of your being, without escaping into the mind. You will leave this session with tools to cultivate lasting inner peace, enabling you to embrace all your emotions genuinely and without the need for a facade of “positive thinking.” This way, you can live as your true, authentic self, deeply connected and compassionate toward yourself and others.

As you immerse yourself in the rhythm of the mantra, you’ll feel its calming effect on a cellular level, soothing both body and mind. Through this practice, we will dissolve the boundaries of our finite selves and merge with the infinite. Let the vibrations carry you to a place of deep stillness and unity.
