Connect with your Higher, true self, during this unique weekend at neighbourhood centre De Horizon. In cooperation with Combiwel Buurtwerk, the Sant Bani Ashram Tuscany is offering a free weekend guided by highly experienced teachers in Surat Shabd Yoga meditation and Ayurveda: Master Sirio Ji (53 years of experience) and Dori Ji (16 years of experience).

This weekend offers a unique opportunity to try and learn a simple and effective method that you can continue applying at home.

This method helps you to:
• gain a calmer, quieter, and more focused mind;
• live your life fully in the present moment;
• experience increased well-being and contentment;
• develop a more loving, peaceful, accepting, and flexible attitude toward yourself, others,
and life in general;
• gain a deeper sense of purpose;
• experience yourself as pure consciousness, independent of body and mind, transcending
body and mind;
• explore the spiritual side of yourself, as to realize yourself as a complete human being.

19 June Friday, 19:00 - 21:30

Sacred Music concert en de introducerende lezing / Sacred Music Concert and Introductory lecture:
“Surat Shabd Yoga: The Science of Spirituality – Transcending Place, Time and Religion – for all Seekers.”

de Horizon, Neighbourhood Centre (Combiwel buurtwerk)
Zaandammerplein 50, Amsterdam

What is yoga in the real sense of the word? Why is Surat Shabd Yoga a universal and timeless science no matter of place, culture or religion? Why is it important for us human beings and what is the use of it in our modern times?
What is the true essence of a human being? What makes a human being a complete and realised being? What is our true origin and why should we try to get in touch with our source of origin within? Is it only the privilege of some chosen ones or is it possible for anyone?
What is spiritual liberation and why should we try to achieve it? What is the most practical way to actualise it and what do we gain by it?
What does it mean to learn to die while we're alive? Why should we acquire such an experience and how could we do it?

If you are interested in these topics and would like to hear answers conveyed through a realised spiritual master, who has more than 50 years of practical experience in the field of spirituality, you are welcome to attend this meeting that might become the seed in the life of any sincere seeker, that eventually sprouts and brings you the fruit of spiritual enlightenment, illumination, liberation, moksha, Sach Kand...

During the meeting, we can enjoy sacred songs with Indian instruemnts, performed by the Sirio Nada Yoga Music Band,  which is followed by a spiritual discourse on the above-mentioned topics and a brief meditation sitting to experience the practice of Surat Shabd Yoga.

Those who are seriously interested in trying spiritual practice and stepping closer to meditation, are welcome on Saturday and Sunday 21-22 June to meet Satguru Sirio Ji again and have the chance to spend more time in his uplifting and inspiring company. Please scroll down to see the complete weekend program. No previous experience is required. If you have questions related to spirituality or whatever you experience during the meeting, you can ask Sirio Ji at the end of the meeting or Sunday when we organise a Questions and Answers session in the afternoon. Above this Sirio Ji offers the possibility of booking a 15-minutes personal coaching session with him.

"A human learns from a human. One who would like to know from the one who knows..."
"Spirituality is a free gift of nature, such as the earth, water and the air we breathe in."

Sirio Ji offers his vast spiritual treasure and knowledge free of charge to anyone who would like to realise his/her complete human potential and wants to become from an ordinary human being a divine being, a being of love and light.
