Hello everyone. This event is just a meet & greet event. Just a space to sit together. No conditions. No expectations. No agenda. We come as we are. As we sit, questions may arise Or they may not. If nothing arises, perhaps silence is enough. Let us gently look within: What do I really want? Am I truly troubled, or is it something I have assumed? Am I being forced to exist, or am I at ease with being here, now? Life is constantly unfolding. Events happen, thoughts move, emotions come and go. In the midst of all that is happening around us, in the region and beyond: What can I actually control? What truly deserves my attention? What really matters—for myself and for those around me? Can I be more simple, more practical, more steady in the current situation? Does a calmer mind respond better than a restless one? Will concern help, or does it quietly drain clarity and action? How much of what I carry is necessary—and how much is imagined? And more quietly: What is the extent of “my” influence? Where does it begin… and where does it end? If clarity comes, let it come. If silence remains, let it remain. See you at La Brioche Dubai Hills Mall. https://chat.whatsapp.com/B7hXdnRNXM05VAZo92iH3T

**Event Details** Online via Zoom **Timings** UAE 4:45 PM India 6:15 PM UK 1:45 PM *** ### ✨ The Experience We begin with a gentle introduction, allowing the body and mind to settle. From there, you will be guided into a dynamic meditative journey where movement, breath, and awareness come together to release suppressed energy and restore natural flow. The session concludes with optional sharing and reflection. **Flow for the Session** 4:45 – 5:00 PM: Introduction 5:00 – 6:00 PM: Kundalini Meditation Followed by Q&A (optional) *** ### 🌿 What is Active Meditation? Many of us carry deeply held emotions, unresolved experiences, and inner tension. When we sit in silence, these often rise to the surface, making stillness feel difficult. OSHO Active Meditations offer a different pathway. Through movement, shaking, and free expression, the body begins to release what has been held within. Energy begins to flow freely, rising, bringing lightness, openness, and a sense of inner freedom. From this space, silence arises naturally—effortless and deeply nourishing. *** ### 🌸 Joining Details **Zoom Meeting Link:** Click Here **Meeting ID:** 863 8210 8643 **Password:** divine *** ### 🌿 Preparation • A quiet, comfortable space • Yoga mat or soft surface • Eye mask or blindfold (optional) • An open mind and willingness to explore *** ### 🌼 Stay Connected Join our WhatsApp community: [https://chat.whatsapp.com/DLBuywCGOHl5KsbcPHjF97](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DLBuywCGOHl5KsbcPHjF97) *** If you have not received your Zoom confirmation email, kindly check your spam folder or search for the following: [hello@surekhasadana.com](mailto:hello@surekhasadana.com) *** With warmth, Surekha Sadana Holistic Health Coach Nutrition \| Functional Medicine \| Inner Work [www.surekhasadana.com](http://www.surekhasadana.com/)

**We ask a lot from our bodies and minds every single week.** Deadlines. Screens. Noise. Holding it all together. This Sunday morning, let’s take an hour for ourselves — outdoors, in good weather, among trees, joggers, families, and the gentle buzz of life around us. We’ll move consciously and gently, letting breath guide each pose. We’ll work through stiffness, release built-up stress, and allow emotions to soften and settle. And we’ll finish grounded and relaxed — learning how to find calm even when the world doesn’t pause.
