International Youth Day 2017 – Australian workshops during August 2017

Celebrating International Youth Day

National workshops during August 2017

Meditation skills for life, especially for the young and young at heart!

Adelaide • Canberra • Brisbane • Melbourne • Newcastle • Perth • Sydney
Everyone welcome – regardless of age

International Youth Day was declared by the United Nations to remind the public of the importance of youth as a stage of life and is annually celebrated worldwide on 12th August. On International Youth Day, the youth are at the centre of our collective attention.

According to the Western European definition, the youth are boys and girls between 13 and 21. During this period of time, they go through adolescence – the process of finding their own identity – finish school, start a career and leave their parental homes to study, travel or work towards future goals. Due to all of the challenges of this period, the United Nations considers this annual International Youth Day relevant. More about the United Nations International Youth Day 2017.

About our Free Meditation Workshops

To celebrate this event, we invite everyone to bring along young family members, friends and students to our free workshops to experience how meditation can assist with establishing mental, emotional, physical and spiritual well being for inner peace.

Workshops will be facilitated by youth, parents and carers who have been meditating for many years. They will explain how meditation works and then guide you through simple meditation techniques which you can practise on your own or with us at our free weekly classes. We encourage everyone to attend, regardless of age.

Everyone welcome – regardless of age

Suitable for both complete beginners and regular meditators • No physical exercises, postures or special clothing required • Chairs are provided • No booking required.

Events for World Yoga Day – 24 & 25 June, 2017

Events for World Yoga Day
Saturday 24th & Sunday 25th June, 2017

Adelaide • Brisbane • Canberra • Melbourne • Perth • Sydney

Please join us to experience Meditation and attain the true Yoga – the union with the all-pervading energy through Self-Realisation

The Sahaja Yoga Meditation technique brings about a state of thoughtless awareness that quietens our mind and connects us to our inner self and the all-pervading energy.

Traditionally, Yoga means union with this energy and in the past, exercises associated with modern day physical yoga were used to attain this meditation state. Today, this meditation is easily achieved through a process called Self-Realisation (kundalini awakening) which frees us of stress and enables us to enjoy the present moment. In 1970, Shri Mataji founded this meditation which can improve our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being.

  • Suitable for both complete beginners and regular meditators.
  • No physical exercises, postures or special clothing required. Chairs are provided.
  • No booking required.
  • Free follow-up classes are available in over 80 locations around Australia.

Free of Cost
“It’s absolutely freely coming to you. So you cannot pay for it. It’s Love, and Love you cannot purchase.” … Shri Mataji – founder of Sahaja Yoga Meditation

Join us at a free meditation event to experience true Yoga as part of World Yoga Day.

World Realisation Day – Events for May 2017

World Realisation Day

Free meditation events Australia Wide during May 2017

Adelaide • Brisbane • Canberra • Melbourne • Perth • Sydney

You are invited to these free events to honour the work and vision of the founder of Sahaja Yoga meditation, Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. Shri Mataji was twice nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize and received the UN Peace Medal in 1989.

On 5th May 1970, Shri Mataji discovered the process called Self-Realisation which initiates a state of thoughtless awareness and enables you to experience peace and mental silence, effortlessly.

“When you get your Self-Realisation, you become the Spirit. And your attention is enlightened by that spirit. You become a witness of the whole world like a drama. This enlightened attention is a very powerful means of spreading divine vibrations” – Shri Mataji – founder
