Description

Program description:
4:30pm-5:30pm - Community Panel Discussion. "So you want to grow a thriving Jivamukti Yoga community?"  A satsangha, literally, a community connected (angha) by Truth (sat) is best cultivated through the practice of Jivamukti Yoga's Five Tenets: Scripture, Ahimsa, Meditation, Nada Yoga and Bhakti. It's not enough to practice Tenet in isolation, or just personally. It's when we come together and institute the Tenets as a community that their true transformative power is revealed.  Please join Patrick Broome,Cat Alip-Douglas,  Antje (Amba), anja.kuehnel  Anna Ferguson, Jeffrey Cohen, Giselle Mari, Ganesh Das, Jill Abelson, and Liz Roberts for a panel discussion and Q&A focused on actual "what works" case studies from existing Jivamukti Yoga communities!
