Join Us for Collective Meditation & Satsang – Exploring Karma 🌿 When: Saturday, February 21 | 12–2 PM Where: 509 Bloor Street West, 2nd Floor Entrance: Free & Open to All ✨ What to Expect: • Restorative yoga for alignment & balance • Devotional singing and chanting • Silent meditation • Spiritual discussion on Karma, Life, Death & Destiny 💫 Inspiration for Our Gathering: “You must not do actions that will bind you, but you must not be averse to action either. Perform your duty—your karma. Is your karma in harmony with surrender (prapatti), or is it opposed to it? The teachings of Vraja Kṛṣṇa are fully aligned with prapatti. His life, His actions, the music of His flute, the way He attracts and shelters others—all are in perfect harmony with surrender. One feels truly free after offering everything to the Supreme. Krsna reminds us: ‘Perform your karma, for you have an inalienable right to action.’ -‘You are human. Regard karma as an expression of the Supreme Reality and engage in it wholeheartedly.’”

Meeting Room 2b, Main Library Join us for a welcoming evening of reflection, gentle music, and meaningful conversation. We’ll begin with a short grounding moment, followed by a brief reading from spiritual or philosophical traditions, and an open reflection circle where participants can share (or simply listen).

We desire to cultivate a space where all questions are welcome and each person is treated with compassion and respect.

Join us at **Unity of Columbus** for *Spa for Your Soul*, a restorative and inspiring workshop designed to nourish your spirit, awaken your inner wisdom, and reconnect you with the sacred rhythm of life. Drawing from the rich spiritual insights of **Matthew Fox** and the timeless theological wisdom of **Thomas Aquinas**, this workshop invites participants into a deeper experience of spirituality rooted in compassion, creativity, and divine presence. Together, we will explore spirituality not as something distant or abstract, but as a lived, embodied experience—one that honors joy, justice, beauty, and the inherent goodness of creation. Through guided reflection, gentle spiritual practices, discussion, and contemplative moments, *Spa for Your Soul* offers a sacred space to release stress, renew clarity, and remember the divine spark within. This is an opportunity to pause, breathe, and tend lovingly to your soul—much like a spa experience, but for your inner life. Whether you are seeking spiritual refreshment, deeper understanding, or simply a peaceful space to be present, this workshop welcomes you exactly as you are. **Come, rest, reflect, and renew—your soul deserves it.**

We are excited to host Guided Meditations on Sundays at 6 pm in our Ashram/Gallery/Home! !! !! Everyone wants to know what kind of God we worship and what kind of meditation we do. We worship the GOD that LOVES US! We understand that god is an energy and it lives in us as us. Our meditations guide others to actually experience that energy! xoxo We don't just talk about peace, love and affection, we experience it :) Also we are a home not a business, so we enjoy building community one friend at a time. We always build in time for people to mingle & develop friendships! xoxo Much Love, Frank Tennyson Namaste, Frank Tennyson http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/a/f/9/9/600_447824953.jpeg
