Heart-centered spiritual practices can open us to the experience
of love: for the world, for others, for ourselves, for life itself,
and for the Source of this love. The complexities and possibilities
of lifes journey give us an opportunity to strengthen, deepen,
clarify and express these feelings. In this workshop we will focus
on some of the characteristics and possibilities of a yogic life
informed by spiritual love.
To help us do this, Bill will lead us in reflecting on teachings
from the Narada Bhakti Sutra, a 10th century yoga text from India,
that can inform us as we refine our understanding of the love that
can stand at the heart of a deep yogic practice. This is a
wonderful set of teachings that can give us guidance regarding ways
to cultivate higher levels of spiritual love and to bring that love
forth in our own contemporary lives.
Our sessions this weekend will consist of Bills talks, sutra
study, discussion and meditation, and will include optional asana
and pranayama practice woven into each session.
