Awakening the Heart: Practices to Heal Ourselves and Our world

“As great as the infinite space beyond is the space within the lotus of the heart.
Both heaven and earth are contained in that inner space, both fire and air, sun and moon, lightning and stars…..Everything is contained in that inner space.”
Chandogya Upanishad

What does it mean to “Awaken the Heart”? or simply “Live from the Heart”?
Join Vickie as she guides you through an experiential understanding of the “Heart Centre” , and all its nuanced layers. Tune in to your physical heart, your emotional heart, and the great Universal Heart of Love that holds us all. Learn about the meaning and the transformative power of the Heart Centre from different spiritual traditions: the “Anahata” in Hinduism, the Sacred Heart in Christian mysticism, the Sir (or secret) in Sufi mysticism, and the Lotus Heart in Buddhism. Practice the Prayer of the Heart in Christian and Sufi mysticism, and awaken your heart to the Love beyond the boundaries of religion or culture.

Bio: Vickie MacArthur

Vickie fell in love with the practice of yoga almost twenty-five years ago and feels that her own daily practice has sustained her through all the inevitable ups and downs of life. Both her practice and teachings has evolved from the vibrancy of an active flow style practice, to the restful peaceful presence of a deeply restorative practice. Vickie has a passion and gift for teaching the “Art of Slowing Down” in a world that is constantly speeding up. She teaches smaller personalized yoga and meditation classes to help people deal with many different health challenges whether cancer, fibromyalgia, chronic pain, depression, anxiety, and other conditions. She is currently finishing a two-year training program with Pacific Jubilee to accompany and support people on their spiritual path. She teaches through her studio “Spirit in Motion Yoga” and is a sought-after teacher for workshops and retreats both in Lethbridge and on the west coast.
Watch for Vickie's upcoming book "Love Letters To My Teacher: How A Buddhist Monk Ignited the Love In My Heart".
