Meditation and Satsang at the Centre

Thursday - Om Healing Meditation Circle - every two weeks

Free event - On Thursday evenings 8:30 - 9:30pm there is a special Om Healing meditation

- by chanting OM within a specifically arranged group of people, the healing power of this powerful word, is enhanced and amplified.
We release negative energy, thoughts and emotions, bringing about healing - this process impacts all aspects of our being: the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.  The healing power can also be directed for the benefit of people not present in the circle.

- please refer to our class schedule to check times, as this is a bi-weekly event

Next dates are 9 September, 23 September, 7 OCtober, 21 October, 4 November, 18 November.

- Satsang is a meeting of people searchign for Truth - at this satsang the Kriya yoga traditions are followed - all visitors are welcome, we sit (chairs are available) and do some chanting to warm up, then 30 or more minutes meditation, followed by traditional bhajans, and either a reading or teachings if a teacher is visiting - the philosophical ideas are based on the philosophy of Sri Paramhamsa Yogananda, who wrote "Autobiography of a Yogi".

Sunday evening Satsang

5:30pm - 7:30pm Sunday weekly

Free event

On most Sundays we will follow the Sivananda organisations Traditional style Satsang program see details of the teachings here: Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Society

Evening starts with 20 - 30 minute meditation, kirtan or traditional chanting (we have the chants printed so its easy to follow, sometimes we have a harmonium player too, and we always have shakers for musical support!!) followed by a short reading or if we have a visiting teacher, they may give a discourse on a philosophical or yogic topic.  The evening concludes around 7:30 with prayers and (waving of a lit flame in honour of our Higher Selves and the Light - a beautiful Hindu tradition that you can participate in or watch) after which we share Prasad - blessed food (in this case only snacks, not a full meal!)

Satsang is "in the company of the Truth" - sharing the Truth with other like-minded souls - whatever form Truth takes for you!

Occasionally we have music or chanting concerts with Illumina and other great singers/musicians on a sunday evening instead of Sivananda Satsang - or if a great teacher is available, they may lead a discourse or discussion on a spiritual topic.  This will always be advertised in our newsletters (signup now on the homepage) or on the "workshops" listing on this website.

Ramana Maharshi Satsang

Sundays - 5:30 - 7pm

Free event - monthly

Ramana Maharshi style Satsang, (check timetable / workshops page for specific dates)

This includes Kirtan, long meditation, and enquiry into the Truth - we are often blessed to have guest speakers at this event, immersed in this ancient traditional style of Jnana Yoga and will give a talk or guide a discourse.

All are welcome although the topics discussed might not suit every spiritual seeker - the nature of this spiritual tradition is quite traditional Advaita philosophy, see more information on the official Ramana Maharshi ashram website here
