"A WORKSHOP ON DIVINE MOTHER"

November 7, 8, & 9, 2003

 

In this workshop you will be guided in the use of Mantras, ritual and Prayer Dance as tools to help you realize the Divine Power within yourself personified as Divine Mother. You will also deepen your understanding of symbols and symbolic expression as you work with these tools. You will experience with the power of sound as revealed in the chanting of various Mantras and the power of Mudra in Prayer Dance. These tools will draw to you a spiritual wisdom far beyond your ordinary understanding. You will also have an opportunity to experience the power of ritual as you participate in a "puja" dedicated to Divine Mother. In this ancient practice you will work with the five elements of the Kundalini System, the chanting of Mantras, the forming of Mudras and the power of symbols to contact the Divine Feminine within. 

In 1982 Swami Hridayananda (Linda Anne Seville) left an eleven year career as a chemist at Shell Canada to study yoga with Swami Sivananda Radha. She spent 15 years in training with Swami Radha and was given all three yoga initiations including the initiation into Sannyas on July 17, 1992 where she became Swami Hridayananda. She has led classes and workshops in Canada, the U.S., England and Spain and currently teaches workshops in Toronto and Whitehorse as well as classes at Chinook College in Calgary. In June of 2002 she was a keynote speaker on yoga at the Global Peace Conference in Vancouver. She has recorded CD’s on Mantra including In Praise of Divine Mother: Songs, Prayers and Poems.

1. WHO AM I? During this one day workshop, using the tools of drawing and symbolism, you will create a snapshot of "where you are in your life at this time." Learning to use the intuitive mind to understand our basic make-up as human beings will provide insight into your life options from this new perspective. 
Friday evening, all day Saturday

2. IDEALS WORKSHOP Come spend the day exploring the purpose of your life? In this workshop you will have an opportunity to investigate where are you going in your life? What kind of a person do you wish to be, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually? This workshop will give you the tools to put your "Ideals" into a practical working relationship with your life.
Friday evening, all day Saturday

3. LOOKING AT THE PERSONALITY How the mind creates "I" (ego). Through the use of writing and drawing we will investigate how we define ourselves through our roles and responsibilities, how we create our idea of "self". From this understanding we can consciously bring about change and harmony in our lives by learning to draw upon our strengths and to embrace and refine our weaknesses.

4. INVITING THE OPEN HEART Cultivating a relationship with the spiritual. Inviting stillness, spaciousness and rest as a means of connecting to our higher self. Chanting, prayer and meditation, and reflection will be used to investigate our ability to shift our attention from the temporal to the permanent.
