-----------Other Local Events---------

Raja Yoga and Satsang

Raja Yoga is the royal yoga that brings the nature of our True Self to our awareness.  This awareness cannot be gained through perception or intellectual knowledge, it can only be known through cognition, like the knowledge that I am, that I exist, it needs no proof, but without this knowing, the experience remains limited and misunderstood.  Come join us as we explore our True Self through:  
Silence, Meditation, Breathing, and gentle relaxing Postures.

30 Main Street, Binghamton

Cost:  $25 in advance, $40 at the door
What would happen if you practiced bringing something new or different into your attention?  The results may surprise you. Very likely, you would experience a peace or pleasure you hadn't expected.  

With these three simple workshop exercises- one auditory, one visual, and one kinesthetic - your mind will be quieted and you will discover a new way to have deeper inner intimacy with yourself.

This workshop is for you if you are already happy, you are often pessimistic, things are going well, you are feeling stuck or you are certain about anything.  

Facilitator Rick Gridley has studied this terrain with spiritual entrepreneur Jerry Stocking for the last 17 years and was a Presbyterian minister for six years before that.

Meditation is the most effective means for significant beneficial change in our lives and in the world, simply because it facilitates access to the deeper layers of our true Self--the source of our being.  So please take advantage of this opportunity to dive deeper and marinate longer in the blissful silence of meditation.
