Being Peace

Fundraising Yoga & Meditation session
Offered freely by Susie

Sunday 8 December 10h-12h

Sign up for this session (in person, online, via recording)

In November 2023 we had a Being Peace session in response to war & conflict in the Middle East. It is with much sadness that we witness violence and suffering spreading further in this region one year later. This year we are raising funds to send food parcels to Palestinians in need. Our friends Zohar & Nathan at SanghaSeva have been active in the region since 2006 offering “Being Peace” retreats, and today with their partners in the villages of Palestine are organising the distribution of food parcels. They write that a food parcel containing essential items that can sustain a family for one week costs around 50 euros.

Taking inspiration from them, this session entitled “Being Peace”, will explore how we can embody & live in accordance with one of the ethical foundations of yoga & dharma – non-violence (ahimsa). The enquiry of what it means to not cause harm is foundational – looking into the way we relate to our bodies, mind and heart is a good place to start. What does the absence of harm look (and feel) like ? We will enquire, move and meditate through this theme.

You might like to attend the yoga session at the Studio or online, or request the recording of the session, or simply contribute to our appeal by making a donation. All ways of participating are welcome.

Donations can be made to Roots ASBL BE95 5230 8141 0458 with the mention ‘Peace donation’.
