How do we support ourselves and each other in changing times? Perhaps it is by rooting more deeply in that which endures, which nurtures all, which loves all.
This is your invitation to join a magical day celebrating the beauty of the earth, the richness of life and the blessings of the heart. Together we will be sharing heart yoga & meditation, the heart of permaculture and of listening to the land. Weather permitting, we will be outside at Upperdown Meadow for the day, reconnecting deeply with Mother Earth. And if we need to be indoors, we will discover that the love of the Earth is with us wherever we are.
Br Vishwam Gurudas will share Heart Of Living Yoga practices to deepen our connection with mother earth, with ourselves and with all of life. This is a rare opportunity to work with him in person now that he lives in the Shetland Islands. Places are limited – don’t miss out!
Vishwam has been practising yoga for over 25 years and teaching for 13 years. He is a heart minister and yoga teacher trainer with the Heart Of Living Yoga Foundation as well as a volunteer for their charity work. He is also the founder of Flowing with Life where he offers meditative writing and reading groups, heart of permaculture courses, men’s circles and more. A former resident of Matlock, he is now fixing up a house and planting gardens with his partner Paul on the northernmost islands of Scotland.
If the weather is suitable, we will be outside for the date in a beautiful tree-lined field called Upperdown Meadow by the river Derwent. It is a 7-10 minute walk from the Elephant Room with lifts available for anyone who needs one. Please note there are not yet facilities here (i.e. the ‘toilet’ is a windbreak and a spade in a quiet place amongst the trees. Hand sanitiser will be provided.)
