About this Event
The Om Symbol represents The Universe, Eternal Nature of Existence and the Three States of Consciousness. The chant itself is meant to be the primal sound of creation. As yoga practitioners, we often offer this chant at the beginning and end of practice as a shared vibration. In this workshop, we will explore the Om Symbol, sound and deeper meaning.
We will look at the map of human consciousness and how it evolves. We will also explore where we find ourselves on this map and what supports and hinders the expansion of our own awareness and our own inner freedom. Are we caught in the monkey mind, are we floating in non dual bliss, do we jump back and forth... and why?!
Participants can expect a stimulating talk and discussion, a partner based exercise exploring inner freedom, the sounding of Om... and a deeper insight into the nature of our practice. Bring a notebook and pen and a curious mind. All are welcome!
