About this event
LOVER AND THE BELOVED
Do you long for a deeper sense of connection to yourself, to others, and to life itself? Join us for an evening of connection in which we explore the practices of bhakti yoga and expressions of spiritual love.
Throughout the evening we will explore how we can mould our lives into one where love naturally flows. Sometimes we go to places or are around people that make us feel wonderful (Play festival for example 😉) and yet that feeling also goes away with time. We will explore through kirtan, partner enquiry, perhaps a little role play if you are feeling brave and some sharing of ancient wisdom how we can start to experience that joy and love more consistently in life.
The structure of the evening is designed to first help you arrive, slow down, and let go. From there we’ll connect with each other through simple movement and mantra chanting. Building on this connection we will guide you through exercises to further open our minds and hearts to our deepest desires through guided enquiry and a sharing circle. And finally we will guide you as a group through a meditation and Kirtan (mantra singing) offering a joyful way to touch our deepest desires. Spoiler: that deepest desire, as you might have guessed, is most often love in one form or another. A final thought, I once heard that trying to explain ‘divine love’ or ‘love of the divine’ is like trying to explain the taste of honey to someone who has never tried it. Words can help give you an indication of what you’re looking for but ultimately you have to taste it for yourself. And once you do taste it .. it is truly life changing. So please come along, and see if together we can open that jar of honey and taste divine love.
For those that would like, you can eat with us before the workshop! Michael will prepare a vegan meal, so please let us know if you would like to join as we need to know how much to prepare. Select the correct ticket and please also RSVP to me on +31 616 497 731. You don't need to bring anything extra (unless you would like to make a donation for the food). Hope to see you soon!

OVER DE FACILITATORS
Citralekha Dasi (Citra) - For as long as she can remember — through high school, studies, and later her work as a contemporary ballet dancer— she was always searching for depth, trying to understand who we truly are and what gives life meaning. When she was 21, the longing for answers became so strong that she decided to quit her job at Ballet Bern, leave her apartment, step out of the life she knew, and make a world travel in order to explore different traditions and streams of thought. This journey finally led her to India, where she stumbled upon the authentic Vedic scriptures and the yogic paths of Self-realization. They opened her eyes to a different reality and melted her heart, revealing a new world of realization and a sense of purpose behind everything.
Returning to Holland with gratitude and renewed inspiration, she longed to share what she had learned. Thus, she started a company 'Vedic Essence' in order to hopefully offer others a glimpse of that beautiful, transformational wisdom and way of life through Yoga, meditation & philosophy classes.
Michael Jenks – his drive in life is to share the knowledge of love, peace and happiness with the world. He studied Yoga in France (Hridaya), The Netherlands (various schools) and India (Gyan Yog Breath) as well as following the tantric teachings through the Play Community. In his workshops and classes he aims to share the ancient knowledge of Bhakti Yoga in a practical, fun and experiential way – to help others feel the joy he has found through Yoga.
