All welcome to our 2nd SPRING Community Working Bee & to celebrate Diwali

Saturday 2nd November
All welcome to join us this Diwali to celebrate the Light!
This auspicious time of year, considered to be the Hindu New Year, symbolizes the spiritual victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance. This is a time of homecoming and bonding between families and communities. Associated with Lakshmi, the Goddess of Abundance & Prosperity, Diwali is a time for savouring the sweetness of life and strengthening our relationships. We welcome all of our community to join us in celebrating this special energy and an invitation for our extended community to get together and lend a hand on some projects here at Anahata while reconnecting with one another. We have a thriving local tribe and we are so inspired by what we can do when we work together!
“Serve, Love, Give, Purify, Meditate, Realise” were the famous words uttered by the great Yogi Swami Sivananda Saraswati. These helpful tools for life can be seen as steps to help awaken to the higher consciousness within and around us.
Service is the action of helping others without expectation. By helping others you can ultimately help yourself. By helping others you can awaken joy within yourself. Seva is the Sanskrit word for selfless service and it means offering oneself wholly to a greater cause.
Karma Yoga is the “tool” we use to mine the gems of our inner potential. It is the action that is done with awareness, the action that liberates instead of binds. It is through selfless activities, unattached work, and loving service that one can acquire the precious gems of purity, patience, and humility.

India Retreat 2024
2024-10-29 08:00 - 2024-12-07 17:00
Tattwa Shuddhi Sadhana: A Journey of Elemental Purification

Rikhiapeeth Ashram, India
The Tattwa Shuddhi course will be led by Swami Karma Karuna under the direct guidance of Swami Satyasangananda Saraswati, the Peethadhishwari of Rikhiapeeth Ashram.
Tattwa Shuddhi is a dynamic meditation rooted in the Tantric Tradition. It is designed to cleanse and harmonize the tattwas or elements within the practitioner’s body. The process involves asanas (postures), pranayama (breathing exercises), the chakras (energy centres), mantras (sacred sounds), yantras (geometrical forms) and meditations. The course will also include theory and offer a well-balanced approach with practical applications for your daily life.
The word tattwa denotes the different principles or factors which comprise our embodied personality. Tattwa also signifies ‘that-ness’ and refers to the Reality which underlies our embodiment. The five fundamental elements that constitute the human body and the universe are Earth (Prithvi), Water (Apas), Fire (Agni), Air (Vayu), and Ether/Space (Akasha).
The word shuddhi literally means ‘purification’, but in the context of the practice we can understand the word to mean ‘exploration’. Therefore, Tattwa Shuddhi can be translated as a practice or exploration of the different dimensions of our existence to reveal what we are in Essence.
Retreat participants will be introduced, step by step, to the different facets and stages of Tattwa Shuddhi. It is a process of exploring, refining and expanding the idea of who we are by dissolving the imbalanced facets of the mind and unconscious conditioning which keep us locked in unhealthy patterns of being. The practice leads one to the stillness within, bringing clarity of mind, and receptivity; opening the practitioner up to the fullest potential.
The course is held in a traditional ashram environment offering integration into ashram life programs such as special rituals, chanting and seva (selfless service).

Option 1: Diwali: Festival of Lights Celebration & Tattwa Shuddhi Sadhana ~18 nights

About Diwali – The Festival of Light

This auspicious time of year, considered to be the Hindu New Year, symbolizes the spiritual victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance. Associated with Lakshmi, the Goddess of Abundance & Prosperity, Diwali is a time for sharing, giving,and savoring the sweetness of life. Havan and Pooja are performed to open our energy to the universal grace of giving and receiving with equanimity, to become selfless in our actions, and to dedicate our lives to the benefit of all. On the eve of Diwali the Ashram becomes radiant with the light of thousands of candles representing how our own inner light becomes magnified when in the company of other luminous souls.

About Sat Chandi Mahayajna – Celebrating God as the Mother

Goddess Chandi, a form of Durga, is said to be the remover of negativity from the world. She represents the universe itself. This energy is invokedto dispel the negative forces that limit and contract us so that we may be fully open to the experience of abundance. This 5 day yajna celebration is dedicated to the Cosmic energy, Shakti, and holds the greatest significance in terms of the history and tradition of Rikhiapeeth. Started in 1995, the Sat Chandi Mahayajna became a means of reaching out to countless families from the surrounding villages; to spread the blessings of peace, plenty and prosperity in each home and family. Participating in the distribution prasad to thousands of villagers over the 5 days is the highlight of this festival.

“Yajnas confer peace, plenty and prosperity through the medium of divine energy that is invoked by mantra and ritual… It is not asana or pranayama or Dhyana…this is yajna, where the mind, intellect and intelligence have no role to play. In this situation child-like innocence and spontaneity pay higher dividends than intellect.” Swami Satsangi

About Ashram Life

Integrate the experience of Tattwa Shuddhi by immersing yourself in the daily activities of the ashram, by practicing Karma Yoga / Seva alongside the ashram residents. The basis of ashram life is selfless service. The ashram lifestyle reveals to us how to become free from the dictates of the mind and regain control over our life. In today’s day and age this has become most relevant, as the ashram lifestyle makes us aware of our immense potential and enables us to give that a constructive direction. We learn to direct and expand the mind by adopting the spirit of selfless service, which in turn blossoms in our life as creativity and excellence in thought, word, and deed.

Active Hope: Deep Ecology & Yoga Retreat
2024-04-25 14:00 - 2024-04-28 15:00
Anahata Yoga Retreat is delighted to welcome Inna Alex who will be hosting the Active Hope – Deep Ecology & Yoga Retreat gathering at our Golden Bay Retreat. Kindly note that the teachings included in this gathering may not reflect Anahata’s tradition and philosophy.

Join us for an extraordinary, heart-felt journey into enhanced connection and empowerment through Deep Ecology & Yoga
Why join this Deep Ecology retreat?
We are alive at an extraordinary moment in time. It is a time of growing uncertainty, yet also time of great possibility when creativity, courage and collective action can help cultivate change. This is a time when many of us are seeking ways to reconnect to one another and to the living Earth.
Deep ecology is a holistic approach to facing the current challenges on Earth that brings together thinking, feeling, spirituality and action. It involves moving beyond the individualism of Western culture also seeing ourselves as part of the Earth. This leads to a deeper connection with life, where Ecology is not just seen as something ‘out there’, but something we are a part of and have a role to play in.
In this retreat, we will draw on the work of Joanna Macy, John Seed and Arne Naess. We will use theories and interactive practices from The Work That Reconnects to reconnect to out own true nature, the web of life, and to our human community.
This work supports us to experience first hand that we are larger, stronger, deeper, and more creative than we have been brought up to believe. Opening our hearts and our minds to the love, the grief we feel for our world, empowers us to act on behalf of the Earth.

This retreat combines the transformational journeys of Deep Ecology and Yoga under the guidance of experienced facilitators in a nurturing and safe environment.
In the Deep Ecology sessions, you will be guided through the four stages of the spiral of the The Work That Reconnects in a journey of experiential practices, poetry, ritual, song, movement and silence. We explore and deepen our connections to Self, each other, and all Life, in order to take part in the Healing of our World.
Yoga brings us into balance and harmony, giving us the ability to enjoy life, fulfil our potential and find our true identity. We will be practicing traditional yogic practices including Asana, Pranayama, Yoga Nidra, Havan and Meditation. These yogic practices will encourage us to tune into both the universal nature alongside our own.
We hope that a combination of the two will empower you to act on behalf of Earth with clarity, love and direction.
No previous experience in either Yoga or Deep Ecology necessary.
Take a look at our blog titled – Deep Ecology – What’s it all about? Here we interview Inna Alex about her experiences of Deep Ecology and why the movement is important.

Maha Shivaratri Community Weekend
2024-03-09 06:30 - 22:00
A Community Working Bee Weekend to celebrate the energy of Maha Shivaratri “The Great Night of Shiva”
Maha Shivaratri is the most significant spiritual event of the year for those walking the path of yoga. It is a time when there is a natural upsurge of energy in the human being and an opportunity to experience the oneness of the cosmic creation.
For householders, Shiva’s wedding is celebrated as the union of consciousness and energy that gives rise to the universe. For those that are ambitious in life, this is a day of victory. The day that Shiva conquered all of his enemies.
For those devoted to a spiritual path, Maha Shivaratri is the Night of Stillness and honors Shiva as Adi Guru, the first teacher from whom the science of yoga originated. This is the day that, after thousands of years of meditation, he became one with Mount Kailash, completely still, like the mountain itself.
This is an opportunity to connect with and strengthen your commitment to your own spiritual path, while spending time with like minded people, and contributing to the beautiful space of Anahata. EXCHANGE
This Community Working Bee is by Donation/Koha.
Please give from the heart and within your capability.
