Founded in 1970 by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, Sahaja Yoga is a worldwide meditation practice. What makes Sahaja Yoga unique is that it begins with Self Realization — the awakening of your inner energy. This leads to a state of thoughtless awareness, where you can truly experience the present moment. You naturally become more balanced, centered, and connected, enhancing your well-being and relationships.

The Rise Tour is a unique initiative that combines theatre, film, and meditation, led by a diverse group of artists and meditators from the U.S., France, Belgium, and India, traveling across the East Coast.
