Monthly Satsang with Sam
Beginning Friday 6th October 2023, 7:00pm-9:00pm
First Friday of the month – 7:00pm – 9:00pm
We are excited to share a brand-new offering at the centre – a monthly Satsang led by Sam and consisting of a wonderful community of students – perhaps you’ll be one of them!
Satsang is a Sanskrit term derived from two roots: sat meaning “true’” and sangha meaning “community”. It can be translated as “associating with good people” or simply “being in the company of truth,” and refers to the act of gathering with like-minded, uplifting people, especially those on a spiritual path.
The Satsang will take place on the first Friday of each month between 7:00pm – 9:00pm. There will be herbal teas available on arrival and an opportunity to meet other Satsang members and connect. Each session will include a guided meditation and spiritual teaching from Sam and an opportunity to ask questions, offer perspectives and explore the messages and concepts within each teaching together.
No prior knowledge of yoga philosophy or spirituality is necessary as all the teachings are designed to be accessible for people at any stage on the spiritual journey. All that is required is an openness to new perspectives and to looking at the world in different ways. If you have already explored spiritual topics, your prior insights and experiences will add richness to the Satsang and will be greatly welcomed.
The exchange for each Satsang is £20 and there will be 3 opportunities to gather with like-minded, uplifting people in 2023:
- Friday 6th October 2023
- Friday 3rd November 2023
- Friday 1st December 2023

If you feel drawn to be part of our Satsang, we look forward to welcoming you for the first session on 6th October. You can book via the timetable

This half day workshop explores how yoga teachings and practices can support management of stress and improved mental health and resilience. It combines an understanding of the mind and body from neuroscience and psychology with practices from therapeutic mind-body modalities of yoga, qigong and mindfulness. The result is an interactive and practical session, which includes:
- Exploring mental wellbeing and distress from a yogic perspective.
- Insights from neuroscience for understanding the stress response (& its opposite).
- Evidence-based yoga practices for calming the mind during times of stress.
- Practices for creating greater energetic and mental balance and equanimity.
The workshop format will include taught elements of underpinning theory from yoga, neuroscience and psychology with experiential practices of yoga asana, qigong, grounding exercises, breath techniques and meditations that support mental wellbeing. There will be a break for herbal teas half way through and yoga asana will take place after the break.
