The essential message of the Bhagavad Gita (acting without desire for reward) is also the key to effective yoga practice and to living life well. The user-friendly text deals with the nature of the self, the world, ultimate reality, the purpose of human existence, and the spiritual paths that can be undertaken to accomplish this purpose.  The workshop will be presented in discussion format.  Please bring a copy of the Bhagavad Gita if you have one.
No prior knowledge of The Bhagavad Gita is necessary for this seminar; the only requirement is to bring an open mind and sincere heart.
