Swami Radhananda began her east coast tour in Ottawa and the response to her workshops here was really enthusiastic. The room was full throughout the weekend. On Friday evening, she offered a 2-hour Mantra Workshop, which included a personal exploration of our own names. Saturday we explored the Devi of Speech from the first to the sixth chakra and on Sunday, the Power of Silence.

For those of us who attended all 3, the workshops seemed to weave together into a single thread. For some participants, the Divine Feminine was a new exploration, and it was lovely to see a relationship begin to form. For others, it was an opportunity to reconnect and bring Her Presence right into the room and into our hearts.

To add to an already special weekend, Clea joined us for Satsang on Sunday evening and talked about her process of creating and editing timeless' new release: Inspired Lives. This book brings together some of the best articles from the first 5 years of ascent, and we were all thinking of people we know who would most likely be inspired by the stories and who don’t necessarily know anything about yoga. Clea patiently signed copies of the book as we lined up to purchase them.
