A Philosophy, Meditation and Asana Workshop based on the Narada Bhakti Sutra
Yoga and the Way of Spiritual Love - A Philosophy, Meditation and Asana Workshop based on the Narada Bhakti Sutra with Prof. Bill Mahony and Scott Lewicki. Heart-centered spiritual practices can open us to the experience of love for the world, for others, for ourselves, for life itself, for divinity. The complexities and possibilities of life's journey give us an opportunity to strengthen, deepen and clarify this love. In this workshop we will focus on some of the characteristics and possibilities of a yogic life illumined by the light of spiritual love. To help us do this, Bill will lead us in reflecting on teachings from the Narada Bhakti Sutra 10th century text from India, that can inform us as we refine our understanding of the spiritual love that can stand at the heart of a deep yogic practice. This is a wonderful text consisting of short, aphoristic teachings that can give us guidance regarding ways to cultivate higher levels of spiritual love and to bring it forth more fully in our lives. The workshop will incorporate the yogic ideal that integrates philosophy with practice. Woven through the workshop will be asana sessions led by Scott Lewicki based on themes drawn from Bill's talks. The workshop will also include periods of meditation, led by Bill.
