DESCRIPTION:

The Bhagavad Gita is considered one of the most treasured scriptures to the Eastern Indians, Hindus, yogis and non-yogis alike.  To the untrained student, it appears to be a remarkable story documenting the struggles of battle in one of the greatest wars in history. To the yogi it is a story of how to reign in the mind and open the heart to the limitless love from the Divine.

Come join Jeanne Heileman in a study of the *Bhagavad Gita where you will learn about the incidents that lead to this great battle and how the battle in the story applies to the battle in our mind.  We will read passages, translating metaphors and hidden meanings, and apply lessons from thousands of years ago to our present condition.  You will leave with a greater understanding of this remarkable scripture with a new way of seeing the world.  In a season of Love, this is the perfect time to practice the Art of Loving!

*Bhagavad Gita, translated by Stephen Mitchell will be used in the workshop and available for purchase at RakSa.  You are also welcome to bring your different translations.
