“Do you know how to love?” Dr. Satya Narayana Dasia, a renowned yoga master, asked the class at a dharma talk Jovinna Chan was attending at Kripalu on the practice of Love. Hearing his question was a light bulb moment for her. She realized that on the path of Self Realization, it is important and necessary to keep asking questions. Asking questions and contemplating them has helped to turn her mind around and look at the same thing from as many different points of view as possible.

The goal of this workshop is to create a sacred space for a sangha (community of Truth seekers) to come together using the subject of Love as the thread. During our time together, may we gain wisdom on what Love is, muster our courage to look closer at where we misplace our trust in Love and our mistaken views on Love.

Here's what to expect from this workshop:

• A short gentle yoga practice in the lineage of Kripalu Yoga
• A short dharma talk by Jovinna
• Small group discussion and reflection

PLEASE NOTE
A short e-course will be included in your registration confirmation. After you take it, please come up with your question on Love, contemplate it, and prepare to share your reflection when we see other live via Zoom.

For those interested in learning more about love, Jovinna recommends Thich Nhat Hanh's book, True Love.

Recommended Props: a blanket, cushion, journal, and a pen or pencil.

A recording will be made available to participants for two weeks following the workshop.
