It was a beautiful event. So happy i was there to enjoy it❤️ congratulations to the team for pulling off a great event
Reading and seeing the pictures fill my heart with so much joy!!.
Can feel the fun and happiness vibrating so strongly.
Thanks to all who organized this event!! Fantastic!!
This joy is absolutely contagious! The peace and the efforts to unite our community are felt! Seeing all your faces here in the moments of spontaneous happiness is healing and life affirming. Wonderful greeting from our mayor too, wow! I will never take these classes, these events for granted. I know what they did for me over 12 years ago…meditation classes changed my life forever for the better. Bravo to the entire team with many branches, many talents many thanks to all who made this Festival of New Beginnings a much needed fresh start to spring.
I felt very fortunate to make it to this meaningful event with my family. The love, the joy, and the cool vibrations were clearly felt during the event. The guided meditations and the amazing performances of all the artists uplifted the spirit to the next level. A big thanks to the whole team for this amazing work in the community and to all the officials who could make it to the program to encourage them.
I’m sad I couldn’t make it for this event, as I’ve first hand experienced the amazing uplifting energy of the Sahaja Yoga gatherings!
Se întâmplă lucruri minunate la voi, Ioana! Nu pot să nu observ entuziasmul participanților, sahaja yoghini sau ne, bucuria cu care se implică toți în toate acțiunile. Lumina de pe chipuri și transparența și curățenia faptelor voastre i-au determinat pe oficiali să vă ia în considerare și să vă asculte „vorbele”. Sincere felicitări și succes în continuare!
Can Burlington get any better!!! With all the wonderful support that came from many officials, the city, and also many new volunteers that joyfully worked so hard to make this event so beautiful, It was like how Shri Mataji said that when blossom times come you see the flowers turning into fruits. This is how I felt seeing all the amazing new volunteers of 100 seeds of joy campaign and the city, the officials endorse the positive impact this campaign has on the community. My girls and I throughly enjoyed the meditation, the music and the dance performances. My daughters are 10 and they didn’t realize how the time passed so fast they were able to sit through for 1 hr:45mins. They truly felt they were part of some joy giving work happening in Halton in such a fun way-can meditation be this fun and easy they wondered!. They were in awe to see the video from our Mayor and as a mother I feel that such support and creativity is sure to encourage the young ones to become fruits from flowers and contribute to the community’s wellbeing. Thank you every one what all that you do.
You always seem to express what I am feeling. Burlington rocks!
Reading through this article and looking at the photos gives me goose bumps all over, such vibrations. I felt the togetherness. First, I feel vibes from the decorations (the tree and others) i can imagine how much involvement of many people putting their ideas together and the putting work into creating such beautiful tree, the people who volunteered to transport and the people who came early to put them together, such collectivity. Second is the effort of genuinely reaching out to the community, from creating the posters to sending invitations to all citizens in any status or form, we were also blessed to be attended by Honorable City Officials. And the best of all was the representation of the whole world through different cultures in form of art, dance, music and tradition. The egg cracking was not only fun but it opened the hearts of everyone. It’s amazing how different we are but at the same time we also all belong together. Made me felt warm and fuzzy inside.
Thanks for sharing all this amazing event of meditation and the growth of sahaj meditation among Burlington community,thanks for the hardwork done by all the volunteers.
