Om Chanting + Cultivating Clarity & Purpose :

Description: Swami Chidananda is a spiritual educator and monk, holding the distinguished title of Swami. 

 

He has spent the latter part of his life studying and teaching the science of the Bhagavad Gita and how it can help one attain a state of inner peace. 

 

Don’t miss the opportunity to hear him speak on how the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita can help us shed the spiritual ego through Love, create purpose through being in the present moment, move beyond the duality of darkness and light, cultivate the power of equanimity, reframe success, and tune into the golden moments of our days.

 

Before the talk, we come together for an OM Chanting Circle. Through the cosmic vibration of OM, we make an impact for change, at times intangible but deeply transformative.
