Path to Purpose:
New Moon Sanskrit Mantra Meditation
Join this Sunday workshop to develop an at-home mediation practice by using Sanskrit mantra. The upcoming new moon is a perfect setting in which to start something new and watch it grow
Led by Stephanie Keiko Kong
This lunation is the perfect cosmic setting in which to start something new and watch it grow.
Join "Path to Purpose" – a unique Sanskrit mantra meditation workshop tailored for the upcoming New Moon. This lunation is the perfect cosmic setting in which to start something new and watch it grow.
In a world buzzing with demands, you're already familiar with the grounding embrace of yoga and the power of mindfulness. Yet – let's be frank – maintaining an at-home daily meditation practice can feel like a faraway dream, whether you’re experienced or completely new to the cushion.
Our workshop is designed specifically for purpose-led people like you, who seek more than just the old platitude of "inner peace." It's about unlocking the full spectrum of benefits that meditation offers for a powerful and purposeful life.
Uncover the untapped potential of your personal power, align your goals with your inner resources, and sit in a supportive circle of other meditators.
No meditation experience needed – just a desire for a purposeful, easeful life.
