About this event

The event represents Brampton’s 1st Climate Change Awareness Public Program in 2016, as Brampton was chosen to be the 2nd stop for our volunteering initiative, journeying across Ontario.

The public program was purposefully scheduled in the week of the Family Day, as we consider the audience, members of our Brampton family of families – joining this public program.

February is known to represent the month of love. We will honor with this event, the passing of 5 years since, Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, beloved teacher and founder of the charity Vishwa Nirmala Dharma Educational Society – known as Sahaja Yoga Meditation – had returned to Mother Earth, on February 23, 2011.

 

We feel that the best way to express our love for Shri Mataji’s  ‘pass it on’ message of inner peace, love for humanity, and self/global-realization methods shared through free sahaja yoga meditation, would be by offering this amazing multi-cultural event:

– Focusing on Mother Earth

– Celebrating February’s:

• Black History Month
• Chinese New year of the Monkey
• Shri Ganesha Jayanthi (Hindu)
• Vasant Panchami Day (Hindu)
• Make a Friend Day,
• Polar Bear Day,
• National Freedom Day
• Saint Brigid of Kildare (Celtic Day)
• Nirvana Day (Buddhism)

 Live Art, Culture, Science, Meditation, Chakra Worksop, Spirituality and Fun will be bridged together inter-actively, as in ‘Honoring the Cycle of Life for Mother Earth -> M.E.’
