Puja & Prayers
Tuesday – (WEEKLY)
Small group class
Puja is one of the most beautiful ways to invoke the devotee within oneself and establish a relationship with Isvara, the Lord. Puja is called kayikam karma, an action involving one’s limbs. It also includes speech and mental action in the form of chanting and thinking of the Lord, Isvara. In this physical form of worship, there is a greater field of expression of one’s devotion than is possible in the purely oral or mental forms of worship. The body, mind and speech are all involved in a puja. A puja is performed in order to express one’s gratitude to Isvara for all one has been given in one’s life. The forms, colours, fragrances and sounds of the various items of worship arrest one’s mind and aid in evoking bhakti, devotion, in oneself.

Yoga
Tuesday - (WEEKLY)
In the tradition of Yogacharya Sri T Krishnamacharya.
Yoga is an ancient, self-empowering practice that utilizes a wide range of tools to enhance well-being and to maintain and restore health. It can be a powerful tool on the journey of personal and spiritual growth. Health, healing and spiritual transformation are its fundamental purposes; all of which influence our choices, how we live and the developmental of our relationships. One’s evolution in their personal relationship is shared with others. This is then, the measure of how successful our practice of doing the yoga tools is in our lives.
Some of the tools used in this tradition include (but are not limited to) postures (asana), breath regulation (pranayama), meditation (dhyana), dietary recommendations (ahara niyama), lifestyle suggestions (vihara niyama), chanting (mantra), visualization / affirmation (bhavana), gestures (mudra), and guided self-inquiry (svadhyaya) and scriptural study of the Yoga Sutras along with its recitation.

Wise Earth Ayurveda
Seasonal Gatherings (twice a season)
‘Wise Earth Sadhana’s (actions which reclaim the Divine within) practices of food, breath, and sound enable us to sustain our health, realign ourselves with nature’s cycles, and discover our rich inner realm of wisdom. They help us to “sit in ourselves”, to remain centered in our consciousness with every action we take. By finding spiritual accord in our daily routines, we can find this peace elsewhere and everywhere. If we cannot find the harmony in our everyday actions, we will not find it anywhere else.’ Maya Tiwari
Join the community sanga gathering for seasonal sharing with a focus on appropriate application and integration of practices in food, breath and sound. We experience distinct emotions and energies associated with each and every season although we may not be aware of them. Special focus in each season share be shared and experienced with specific treatments and rituals to meet the needs and interest of the time.
It is our intention to nourish and cultivate the tradition of Wise Earth Ayurveda in our communities, strengthening the awareness within, with the gift of nature’s healing balm. Om Jennifer Gillis (WEA Program Director of Canada)
