Perhaps you practice yoga or apply some of the principles of Ayurveda in your life. Then you’ve already been exposed to some Vedic knowledge! The Bhagavad-Gita is considered by many to be the essence of the Veda.
Join us for a two-part series on the essential teachings of the Bhagavad Gita in the context of Vedic literature.
Part I: April 6 | The Bhagavad Gita in Context
In this session, we will learn about the Vedas as reverberations of Consciousness, not just books with different content. We will then introduce the Bhagavad Gita, considered by many as the essence of the teachings of the Vedas.
Part II: TBD | Essential Teachings of the Gita
In this session, we will deep dive into the Bhagavad Gita, exploring its teachings with an emphasis on yoga , the practice of bringing the mind to pure Consciousness, and sankhya, the understanding of the true nature of the Self.
Throughout the year, we host special classes honoring seasonal shifts, the moon’s cycle, or special holidays. We also teach series and workshops focused on specific themes, such as regions of the body or an aspect of yogic philosophy. Feel free to message us if you have a special request. We would love to create a tailored session for you!

2025 Community Cleanse
January 13 - February 2, 2025
Thanks to those who joined our New Year’s Community Cleanse! Based on the book, Clean by Alexander Junger, our 21-day community cleanse removed all processed foods, sugar, alcohol, and caffeine products. The cleanse focuses on all the good stuff - fresh fruits and veggies, and light meats or fish (for flesh eaters). It’s so much more fun to do it in community! We supported the cleanse with a WhatsApp group, two mid-cleanse Zoom calls, and a final celebration!
