This Saturday, Sahaja Yoga Meditation Network will be holding a free rock-painting workshop at Starbucks on Dundas and Walkers Line, from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., part of their “Cool Kids and Parents” series.
Children ages 6–12 who are accompanied by an adult are invited to participate in this hour-long workshop where art meets meditation. Spots are limited — secure yours here, at the 100 Seeds of Joy website.
Not long before the announcement of this event, the meditation network held a successful clay artwork meditation. Parents and kids alike exercised their creativity while listening to music and engaging in a joint meditation.
“I really liked the meditation artwork [clay]. My kids are also enjoying the session,” a participant commented.
Seeing how popular the workshop was, the team would like to hold a second clay workshop in the near future.
Earlier this month, Sahaja Yoga Meditation Network celebrated the Guru Purnima Festival, a festival held to honour one’s spiritual teachers, or gurus, with a week of Guru Purnima experiences. They celebrated Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, guru and founder of Sahaja Yoga Meditation, and other teachers. Participants learned about their own guru principle and sought peace within themselves.
As Shri Mataji said, “There can be no peace in the world until there is peace within.”
For 18 years, Sahaja Yoga Meditation Network has offered free meditation classes across Halton. From schools to senior homes, corporations to small businesses, they are dedicated to supporting the community through meditation.
With the launch of the network’s 100 Seeds of Joy initiative, the group aims to reach over 100 events for mental health this year.
Through their free and open-to-all workshops, Sahaja Yoga Meditation Network promotes inner peace and good mental health for everyone. The group explores methods such as mantras and affirmations in some of their workshops.
