Enjoy Snippets of Joy with Music and beautiful Appreciation Letters from Burlington Seniors – Received for the Yoga Day 2026 Free Event offered by Sahaja Yoga Meditation Network of Halton Volunteers
“Respect the Elderly and Cherish the Young” says an old Chinese saying – probably influenced by Confucius
Allow us to Keep this Article short and sweet and We hope you will Listen to the Video-clips shared with You: they reveal the Heavenly Music provided by Ekaterina – our Special Guest Artist!
On Friday, June 19, 2026, we had the privileged of being invited to a Burlington reputed Seniors residence by the Lakeshore; we collaborated on a an event that had a very rich Agenda: Meditation, Yoga and a Live Music multicultural program with a very special guest artist: Ekaterina, who was visiting from Montreal for the weekend.
In fact, Ekaterina accepted our invite as a special favour to our team of volunteers from Sahaja Yoga Meditation Network.
We collaborated on many occasions such as Festivals and Public Programs for several years already, therefore she was well aware of our Seniors Wellness Initiative and how busy we are offering many FREE classes, workshops and events across the Halton region (and beyond!).
By the way, these playful turtles we found in the garden, right after the most recent program for Seniors in the Month of June. Aren’t they cute?! We could not resist taking their photo and sharing it with you!
In fact the following photos are just from such opportunities we had in June this year to Cultivate Joy among the Burlington Seniors. 🙂
We had a few such occasions, and we always operated with small yet dynamic teams from our Cultivators of Joy team, here we have Ioana, Kruti and Terry enjoying Cultivating Joy in such a beautiful location and on a gorgeous Day of Spring!





Make sure that You will listen to the videos from the Next Sahaja Yoga Meditation Events that we offered in June 2026, also for the Burlington Seniors, in fact we Received a Beautiful Appreciation Letter on their behalf from the Community Partner that co-organized with our Team several such events for them. All were very well received!
We were Glad to receive an Early Appreciation for one of our Free Wellness Programs offered to Burlington Seniors in June
There is much more the share as June is known to be Seniors Month and our Team of Volunteers was Busy all month long!
As promised: Enjoy the most recent Appreciation Letter we received on June 20, 2026 on behalf of the Residents and Staff, especially for the Free Yoga Day Event that was included in our 2026 Marathon of New Beginning which included 13 Free ‘Yoga Day’ Events offered in 8 Days across the Halton region!
We chose to share with you this particular Appreciation Letter because it is related to the most recent Free event we offered for the Seniors in Burlington, dedicated to the International Yoga Day – and because we included it and listed in in our 2026 Marathon of New Beginnings (at its 2nd annual edition). We were thankful and impressed to receive the Appreciation Letter only one day later after the event took place!
It is also a very special Appreciation Letter because the event was offered on June 19, 2026, which was proclaimed by the Mayor of Burlington as “Sahaja Yoga Meditation Day” celebrating our 20 years of continuous community service in Oakville; on the same day, just a couple of hours after this official event that took place in front of the Oakville Town Hall (with a Flag Raising ceremony nonetheless), Ekaterina and Ioana went to this beautiful community of Burlington Seniors and offered a free program that included Sahaja yoga meditation and live music.


We took the liberty to highlight certain notes in the second Appreciation Letter as this one also recognizes the beautiful artistic talent of Ekaterina – our special guest.
As mentioned at the very beginnings, she was already booked that weekend to collaborate on three events dedicated to the International Yoga Day (two in Burlington and one in Oakville), therefore Ekaterina made us all a great favor to accept last minute the Invite to sing also for this Burlington Community of Seniors.
Let’s Read the Appreciation Letter received by the 100 Seeds of Joy Team (of Sahaja Yoga Meditation Network) and Ekaterina – the Guest Artist for this Yoga Day Event offered in Burlington
In fact, we collected great appreciations on the spot, directly from the residents as well from the staff members! We recall somebody saying how the meditation helped him feel free of thoughts and worries, and truly lighter! Others mentioned the “joyful feeling” after the first part (the self-realization guided meditation.
They praised Ekaterina’s music as being ‘heavenly’ and ‘angelical’ -participants felt ‘transported’ during the music.


Please, be patient You will be able to Enjoy Two Videoclips with Ekaterina’s Music and Watch Glimpses from Two Events offered in June for Burlington’s Seniors!
We must be clear that the music choices were very much appreciated! It was nice to notice that some residents started singing along, and those that spoke French were so happy to listen to those songs, while O Sole Mio was an absolute hit!
Watch this First Video-Clip with the Most Beautiful ‘O Sole Mio’ rendition!
We are trying to share with you a few more musical snippets from Ekaterina’s music performance – in the days to come.
Until then, let’s also enjoy a video-clip that was shared with us by the team that hosted that other yoga meditation event.
