Douglas Brooks in Portland, April 23 - 24th, 2010
Poised for Grace: The Teachings of the Bhagavadgita
"There is no resource that is more important or useful for understanding the history and practices of yoga than the Gita. In this seminar we study the teachings closely in light of their historical importance and continued relevance to our lives today. We'll place a special emphasis on the interpretation of the text from within Tantric yoga traditions and make clear comparisons with other interpretations. No previous experience is expected or required. Bring an open mind and a willing heart!" - Douglas Brooks
