You are welcome to join the Sahaja Meditation Yoga Beginner Class every Tuesday. It is an experience definitely worth a try!
Sahaja meditation is a simple, time-honored technique. Meditation is based on connecting with the inner chakras (energy centers) and balancing the subtle body. It helps reduce stress and increase health. It brings better focus and helps us to be more focused and balanced. Sahaja Yoga is scientific and verifiable, because each practitioner can also verify the cause of inner imbalance from his or her own central nervous system (Central Nervous System) and improve it through meditation practice.
According to the founder Shri Mataji , this meditation will make you feel a deep sense of harmony, allowing the thoughts to enter into a state of tranquility, stability, but complete awakening.
Sahaja Yoga Meditation - the gateway to inner peace, joy and enlightenment!
Founder Shri Mataji has been spreading sahaja yoga around the world since 1970 to give en-mass self-realization and teach meditation skills, and all yoga classes and lectures are free of charge. Shri Mataji and we all believe that actualizing self-realization is an innate ability and inherent right for everyone, not, and can not be purchased with money or material. We now have numerous practitioners in over 120 countries around the world.
Beginners or those who are already practising meditation are welcome to come to learn this Sahaja Yoga meditation, which is unique and different from other meditation methods.Intermediate level classes (Thursdays & Saturdays) welcome those who have participated in 4 or more classes and are interested in exploring more in-depth and deeper meditation knowledge.
Hope to see you soon in our class. (except public holidays)

Whether you're a painter, sculptor, photographer, or mixed media artist, this group is the perfect place to connect with like-minded individuals, have a space to work on your craft, and showcase your work. Let's inspire and support each other on our artistic journeys! Whether you're a novice or a seasoned artist, all skill levels are welcome. Join us and unleash your creativity!

Duty vs. Results: What Makes an Action Moral?
When judging morality, should we prioritize **intentions/duty** or **outcomes/results**? It introduces two influential philosophers as representatives of these approaches.
* **Immanuel Kant (deontology):** An action is moral when it is done from **duty** and follows rational, universal principles (the **categorical imperative**). Certain acts—like lying—are wrong regardless of the consequences; you can’t do a wrong thing for a right reason.
* **John Stuart Mill (utilitarian consequentialism):** The morality of an action is determined by its **effects**, specifically how much **happiness/well-being** it produces. Mill argues that some pleasures are “higher” than others, and that good intentions don’t redeem harmful outcomes.
## Discussion Questions
1. **The lying dilemma:** A murderer comes to your door and asks if your friend is hiding inside. Kant would say you must not lie.
2. **Can good intentions rescue a bad outcome?**
3. **The organ harvest problem:** A surgeon has five patients dying of organ failure and one healthy patient in for a checkup. Killing the one to harvest organs would save five lives, and the math works out for the utilitarian. Why does this feel so deeply wrong? Is that feeling a point in Kant's favor, or just a bias we should overcome?
4. **Do rules need exceptions?** Kant insists moral rules must be universal, with no exceptions. But most of us can imagine extreme scenarios where any rule seems like it should bend. Does the need for exceptions fatally undermine deontology, or is the strength of the system precisely that it refuses to bend?
5. **Who gets to calculate the consequences?** Utilitarianism asks us to maximize good outcomes, but we're notoriously bad at predicting consequences. If we can't reliably know the results of our actions, is it practical to base our entire moral system on outcomes? Does this uncertainty push us back toward rules and principles?
6. **Everyday morality:** Think about a real moral decision you've made recently, even a small one. Did you reason more like a Kantian (what's the right thing to do in principle?) or more like a utilitarian (what will produce the best result?)? Do most people naturally lean one way?
7. **Justice vs. the greater good:** A town can prevent a deadly plague by sacrificing one innocent person. The greater good is clearly served. But is it just? Can an action be morally right and deeply unjust at the same time?
8. **The big synthesis question:** Are these two systems actually opposed, or do they often arrive at the same answers by different paths? Is it possible that we need both: rules to guide us in the moment and consequences to evaluate systems and policies over time?
Psychic Development Series II - Pueo Group
Private Group. Closed to the Public
Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy.
In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected.
The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve.
I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia
