Awakening the Heart: Exploring the Yogic Texts

Featured Philosophy

Yogic texts, including the Gita, will be explored during the weekend workshop.

This weekend workshop at Satchidananda Ashram-Yogaville from July 25 – 27, 2025 will focus on “The Yoga of Love.” Led by Graham Schweig, PhD (Garuda Das), sessions will focus on the purification and awakening of the heart, the divine call to transcendence through sacred love, and the role of Yoga in sustaining higher consciousness in everyday life. Themes such as the capacity to “move deeply into the space within the heart” (praṇidhāna) and how to enter into the state of “total ecstatic absorption” (samādhi) in which one experiences the “all-embracing divine reality” (kaivalya) will be examined.

Together explore how the heart serves as the true seat of inner transformation and spiritual realization. Schweig will be drawing from his new book, The Yoga of Love: Krishna and the Rāsa Līlā from the Bhāgavata Purāṇa. Each session will open and close with several minutes of tranquil meditational sounds of the voice and harmonium as well as group connecting and sharing throughout.
