Anthony Paul Moo-Young, known as Mooji, was born on 29 January 1954 in Port Antonio, Jamaica. Mooji is a direct disciple of Sri Harilal Poonja, the renowned Advaita master, or Papaji. Since 1999, Mooji has been sharing Satsang in the form of spontaneous encounters, retreats, Satsang intensives and one-to-one meetings with the many seekers who visit him, from all parts of the world, in search of the direct experience of truth. Few amongst the modern teachers of the Advaita tradition expound the 'knowledge of Self', and the method of self-inquiry, with such dazzling clarity, love, and authority. His style is direct, clear, compassionate and often humorous.

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.

Let yourself be MOVED by a WAVE of great music from around the world: our music-wave builds from warm up to playful to energetic to exhilarating, then down again to sensual to meditative to deeply relaxing… Whooosh! We dance for 1 hour followed by an optional sharing circle.
Who: People who love to dance! And people who want to find out if they do. No experience or skill needed; doesn't matter what shape your body is in, or how old you are. All abilities, ages, backgrounds, races, religions, cultures, and sexual orientations welcome.

at
61 Prospect Ave. 4th Floor
Binghamton, NY 13901
Seeing that meditation is the most effective means for significant beneficial change in our lives and in the world, simply because it improves the functioning of our most important tool--the brain, and because it is the easiest to implement, we offer this opportunity to dive deeper and marinate longer in the blissful silence of meditation.
The day will consist mostly of sitting meditation punctuated by:
rest, relaxation, sound meditation, pranayama, gentle asanas, Satsang, walking meditation, and a light vegan Soup-du-jour.
Join in at any time and stay for as long as you would like.
