Night of Illumination




This Winter,  align with the gifts of prolonged darkness while held in the warm gaze of hand made ghee lamps.  We will craft our own candles, practice pranayama, chant the Gayatri mantra, and perform Tratak (practice of flame gazing). The evening will finish with an enlivened round of Omkar, to reinforce the collective vibration and to seal in the inner light. 

We will craft a little and make our own
ghee candles.  All supplies provided.


Gayatri Mantra:  Originating from the Rig Veda, this mantra is dedicated to the Sun God, Savitr. Savitr, the force that illuminates, warms and supports life on Bhu Devi (Mother Earth). Repetition increases the inner light of awareness in the mind.

Tratak:  This open-eyed meditation is done while staring into the flame of a candle. While any flame will do, the ghee flame has particular gunas that are exceptionally good for cleansing the vision on physical and subtle levels.
