Weekend Workshops
Inspired by ancient tradition, workshops combine periods of reflection and periods of silent practice. Each workshop will offer presented material and guided meditation. Discussion will help deepen our practice and explore its relevance to daily life in an interactive as well as contemplative format. Click on a title below for a full description.
Our Yoga and Meditation workshops tend to be 'retreat style workshops' with limited discussion.

DATE CHANGE - Mystic Poetry & Insight Meditation Workshop
- With Matthew Daniell & Ravi Nathwani
Sun 08/13/17 - 9:30am to 1:00pm
DATE CHANGE - Mystical poetry bypasses the intellect and opens the heart through metaphor and image. Insight Meditation touches the heart by grounding awareness in the present moment. Together they can lead us deeper into the mystery of being alive in the here and now. We are fortunate to have Ravi Nathwani, editor of the newly published Mala of Love: 108 Luminous Poems and also the highly regarded book, Mala of the Heart: 108 Sacred Poems, with us. In this workshop Ravi will read poems from his book, which include the works of the mystic poets Rumi and Kabir, while Matthew will guide us in meditation. Both will lead us in discussion in which we will be encouraged to explore our own understanding of these rich traditions.
Growing up in India, Ravi Nathwani spent time with numerous masters. Now he travels and teaches both nationally and internationally. He and Matthew are longtime friends and are currently professors at the Tufts University Summer School co-teaching a class on Hindu Yoga and Buddhist Meditation.
