Reboot and Replenish: Visioning the New Year Ahead

  • Ananda Temple 2171 El Camino Real Palo Alto, CA United States (map)

Saturday morning workshop, Offered in-person at the Ananda temple

“The New Year has come to greet you with new hopes, new determination, new will-to-achieve, new activities. In the Temple of the New Year renew your reverence for the unlimited hidden power of God within you.” –Paramhansa Yogananda

This New Year, dive deep into the replenishing power of introspection as we resolve to rest more deeply in the heart of God’s stillness. Through movement, experience, introspection and a guided visioning practice, enter the new year with a replenishing will to seek God in the Temple of your heart. 

In this morning workshop we will:

  • Let go of habits and thought patterns that have limited you in the past, offering them to God in an ancient fire ceremony

  • Explore and apply the principles of yogic philosophy in a guided introspection, clarifying what is most important to us 

  • Practice movement and yoga postures to bring our heart, mind and body into an intuitive and receptive space 

  • Set intentions that will uplift and expand your spiritual growth in 2023

Fee $55, Contributing members of Ananda are welcome to attend for free
