1. Swami, the Divine Feminist!Explores Swami’s teaching on some of the core character traits of women like modesty, sacrifice, and patience and how they are the source of the real strength of women. Swami teaches us that the real meaning of feminism has little to do with what we might achieve in the world and much more to do with who we are inside.2. Are you listening? Communication Among GenerationsHow can we utilize our qualities and strengths as women to communicate and to receive and absorb values and beliefs between generations? How do we distinguish that which changes from that which remains unchanging despite shifting customs, mores, environments?3. Creative SevaExplore practical demonstrations of creative seva ideas – how to make woolen caps for babies, blankets, making garlands, etc.4. Managing Stress through SpiritualityHow can the practice of Swami’s teachings practically help us enhance our emotional health and to cope with stress?5. Spirituality through PoetryWe are accustomed to expressing devotion through music and prayer, but poetry can also be a powerful expression of love for God. This workshop explores poetry as a creative spiritual exercise. -
