| Life Seals |

Interpret symbols drawn from your unconscious. A Life Seal is an exploration of the symbols and archetypes of your own mind. Reflecting on personal imagery is a powerful means of self knowledge: an honouring of individuality. A Life Seal is a symbolic representation of your path through life – as it has been, as it is now, and as it may grow in the future.
“The Life Seal provided me with a window into my mind and character, and showed me visually what I needed to know on a more profound level.” - P.B. Wasaga Beach, ON

What is it that heals? All of us have a certain amount of healing power within our own bodies. Light is a symbol for the force that heals. The Divine Light Invocation aims at activating the healing forces latent within every one of us. By seeing yourself and others in the Light you will mobilize those invisible forces that are the gift and property of every human being. The Light can heal us.
Swami Radha, The Divine Light Invocation
Take these 4 days to focus your mind on spiritual practice and open to the Light within. Use spiritual tools to heal and make changes in yourself. Find the peace and harmony that is your birthright.

"The light in which the Ashram emits is founded within everything I see, touch, feel, smell, and hear! Thank you for the wisdom and remembering my light!"
