June 2, 2026 — Sahaja Yoga Meditation Network
100 Seeds of Joy is inviting the community to celebrate wellness, music, yoga & meditation, and togetherness through a week of free events across Halton in honour of International Yoga Day.
The celebrations begin on Friday, June 19, 2026, with a special 20 Years of Free Sahaja Yoga Meditation in Oakville celebration at Oakville Town Hall, including a flag-raising and proclamation ceremony. The event will feature guest artist Ekaterina Lavrentyeva from Montreal, a ‘Heart and Action’ award recipient for her volunteering, along with live music, meditation, community reflections, and a few special surprises.
This kickoff will lead into the New Beginnings Marathon 2026, a free community wellness series running from June 20 to June 27 in Oakville and Burlington.
The week will include gentle yoga by the lake, guided meditation, chakra workshops, family-friendly creative activities, and live bamboo flute music. Events will take place at local parks, libraries, and community spaces, including Lakeside Park, Burlington Central Library, Orchard Community Hub, Oakville Central Library and Hidden Valley Park.
“New Beginnings Marathon is our way of bringing people together through simple, joyful, and accessible wellness experiences,” said a 100 Seeds of Joy volunteer. “Whether someone is brand new to meditation or has been practising for years, these events are an opportunity to pause, breathe, reconnect and experience peace in community.”
For more than 20 years in Oakville, and 21 years across Halton and beyond, volunteers from the Sahaja Yoga Meditation Network have offered free meditation classes and workshops in libraries, schools, senior homes, community centres, workplaces, and public spaces.
All events are free and open to the public.
