Sages & Sutras: Recap

Thanks to all who came out for the first-ever Sages & Sutras philosophy seminar today. You all did a wonderful job of raising excellent questions, offering insightful responses, and keeping pace with our dramatic explorations.

Some of the many, many topics we covered or touched on were: Codes of yoga, philosophy of mind, Buddha & Mahaviira Jain, dharma, yogic prinicples, Patanjali and really quite a bit more. And of course there were stories.

It was all done in dialogue fashion which meant we basically flowed from topic to topic, and back again, depending upon the interests, inquiries and inspirations of those present.

Here are but some of the reflections attendees had when asked, “The best part of the seminar was…”

* The open forum discussion made everyone feel at ease and able to share thoughts and ideas.

* Your passion for the topic – seems off calling this a “topic” – it is clearly your way of life. I also really liked [hearing] the view and knowledge of other participants.

* I liked that we started the discussion with the students’ impressions and questions.

* I loved this – I loved the one page idea – seeing all those lists together makes it feel less overwhelming as their connection is more obvious now.

* I would love another seminar focusing on progressing on the path…

* The flow of discussion as it related to the handout – I think there is an ongoing class that could come out of this workshop.
