Satsang is a Sanskrit word that means “being in the discovery of truth”. It’s a gathering of spiritual discourse to bring us into remembrance of our true nature. Every month we will have a different topic to contemplate and discuss. We'll begin and end our session with a short meditation. After Satsang, you are welcome to partake in a vegetarian potluck for a more informal social connection!
While in Satsang, you can expect to experience a rewiring of neurological pathways, spiritual insights, intuitive understandings and opportunities to connect with like-minded souls.
Every month we will be discussing one of Patanjali's yamas (ethical principles for living a life free from suffering). Patanjali was a great sage who wrote these yamas in a sacred text called the Yoga Sutras, over 2,000 years ago. It is one of the main philosophical writings for those who practice living a yogic lifestyle.
For the month of December, we will be working with the first niyama in Yoga Sutras - saucha. Which is often translated: purification and cleanliness.
Please bring a quote, poem, or affirmation that represents saucha and that calls to you. Or you may share a personal experience where saucha was practiced or could have been practiced in your life.
These satsangs are free or are at a "give what you'd like basis". All donations help the facilitator to continue to have the space and ability to offer these free services to others.
Please bring a vegetarian dish to pass!

Warm your spirit this winter season through tending to the sanctuary of your inner flame while nestling in the peaceful woodlands of Holly, Michigan for a weekend of transformation and spiritual nourishment.
We will come into remembrance of the Sacred through attuning to the ancient Celtic holy day of Imbolc - the midway point between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. Step through this potent threshold to renew your spirit with nature-centered rituals, gentle yoga, traditional crafts, other thoughtfully created activities and the magic that arises from the warmth of heart-centered togetherness.
Imbolc is also known as Saint Brigid's Day (February 1st). Saint Brigid, a patron saint of Ireland, is intimately connected with the Celtic Goddess Brigid, both Keepers of the Sacred Flame. We will weave her powerful Divine Feminine presence throughout the fabric of this retreat, embodying her messages of sovereignty, our intrinsic wholeness, unity and the eternal nature of our Sacred Flame.
