“The three factors that seem to have the greatest influence on increasing our happiness are our ability to reframe our situation more positively, our ability to experience gratitude, and our choice to be kind and generous.”
Dalai Lama XIV, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘰𝘧 𝘑𝘰𝘺: 𝘓𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘏𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥
Join Dawn for a transformative afternoon of playful yoga flow and mindfulness, inspired by 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘰𝘧 𝘑𝘰𝘺: 𝘓𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘏𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 by the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
Through this special session, you'll explore the 8 Pillars of Joy, which offer powerful insights for cultivating lasting happiness. Together, we'll learn about the Obstacles to Joy—such as fear, stress, anger, grief, illness, and death—and contemplate practices that can help you overcome them and build a foundation for sustained joy in your life.
What to Expect:
°𝗬𝗼𝗴𝗮 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝘄: A gentle, playful practice designed to open your body and heart.
°𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝟴 𝗣𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗝𝗼𝘆: Key takeaways from the book that focus on fostering peace and happiness in the face of life's challenges.
°𝗬𝗼𝗴𝗮 𝗡𝗶𝗱𝗿𝗮: End the afternoon with a deeply relaxing Yoga Nidra practice—a meditative journey that guides you into a state of deep relaxation, where you'll create your own Sankalpa (intention) for joy and fulfillment.
No need to have read the book before the session, though if you’d like to prepare, Dawn recommends listening to the Audible version to experience the joy and wisdom in the conversation between these two spiritual leaders. One lucky student will win a physical copy to take home for further exploration!
