🙅‍♂️"No, no, thank you — I’m not planning to become a monk. So this training isn’t for me." We hear this sometimes. But we don’t expect you to make a decision to become a monk. 🧡 Some people come to: — live without a phone for a while — step out of constant noise — listen to themselves — experience what it’s like when a day is structured not around momentary desires, but around meaning 🧡 Some return home and realize: monastic life is not my path. Yet they leave with more clarity, calm, and energy for life. 🧡 And some unexpectedly feel: “I understand now — this is mine.” That’s why we invite both men who have thought about the monastic path, and those who simply want to experience the training as a meaningful and unusual adventure — and then return to their everyday lives. 👉👉 Leave an application on our website, and we’ll contact you personally to share more details! 👈👈

How to live this 2026 year better — and find yourself? At the beginning of a new year, many people find themselves facing questions that are hard to ignore: - Am I living my own life, or just following familiar roles? - What do I actually want? - Where am I going, and what gives my life meaning? - Why can there be exhaustion inside, even after achievements? We’ve decided to host an online meeting for our warm community. 🔴 It will be a FREE live conversation with Dada Anandasvarup: a short reflective introduction, followed by an open Q&A session. During this free meeting, we’ll talk about: — how to understand what you truly want — how to find yourself when you have many interests but no clear focus — what to do if you feel stuck or not moving forward — where to find energy and inspiration for living and acting — how practices can help you hear yourself more clearly and bring inner clarity The speaker will share personal experience and practical recommendations. At the end, Dada will also briefly talk about the “7 Days as a Monk” training — our new event to explore yourself more deeply by living one week of monastic life without obligations. 📅 Date & time: January 15, Thursday, 19:00 Stockholm/Berlin/Warsaw time, 18:00 London time 📍 Format: online, Zoom, free 🔗 The link will be shared here and by e-mail on the day of the meeting If this topic resonates with you, stay with us and prepare your question!

Many people think monks never doubt, never struggle, and always feel certain about their path. But that’s a myth! 🙅‍♂️ Monastic life is a spiritual test. Every monk once lived a normal life — in society, with habits, attachments, and fears. Monks use powerful inner tools to face these challenges — and many others. For example, meditation helps facing doubts, fear, and desire with clarity. Kiirtan (mantra practice) helps working with emotions, restlessness, and inner tension. ❓ Want to understand how these and other tools really work — not in theory, but in real life? 🗓 Register to the next free webinar with Dada Anandasvarup — TOMORROW, January 8, 19:00 (Sweden time) 📍 Online, Zoom Register via the link 👉 https://yogamonastery.org/freewebinar?utm_source=telegram
