RISE WORKSHOP SERIES

5 Week Workshop - Building Relationships and Exploring Our Truths

Our RISE workshop is for those looking to explore their spirituality, self-awareness, and self-discovery with a group of like-minded seekers. Over 5 weeks, the group will take inspiration from the Bhagavad Gita and Hiding in Unnatural Happiness and discuss topics that help you manage and balance the complex situations that we find ourselves in. We will learn how Bhakti and meditation practices can help you declutter your life scientifically and systematically. The environment provides for deep discussions amongst others at a similar stage of bhakti, sharing personal realizations and challenges, and forging relationships in community on the path of bhakti.

About Hiding in Unnatural Happiness

Hiding in Unnatural Happiness, is about our search to attain happiness and how it's such an elusive subjective state. It explores whether genetics, circumstances and willpower (or lack of it) limit our attempts at happiness. Drawing upon the ancient yoga science of the self, Hiding in nnnatural happiness probes our contemporary approach to fulfillment and progress, and recommends another road, less traveled but timeless.
