Sadhana Salons
“tejasvi nāvadhītamastu ma vidviṣāvahai
May what has been studied by us be filled with brilliance; may it not give rise to hostility.”
Sadhana Salons are our monthly community gatherings, in which we will collectively explore the substance of progressive Hinduism. Each month you are invited to an intimate, open-minded, open-hearted discussion in which we will dig into the issues, challenges, and opportunities of Sadhana's work, with suggested readings assigned beforehand. Our salons allow us to cultivate a deeper understanding of Sadhana's mission, as we co-create an active, compassionate space of contemplation-in-action.
Each month, we have a different theme. Past themes have included: the Divine Feminine, the poetry of Meerabai, surrender and bhakti (devotion), environmental justice and “ecodharma”, mental health and spiritual wellbeing, and more.
A Sister Salon held in conjunction with Jahajee Sisters in Summer 2019
We also have a few spin-off Salon series. Our Sister Salons are held for women, girls, and gender-non-conforming people, and our Youth Salons are for youth aged 15-25. Topics of these Salons have included the destigmatization of menstruation and Kali worship.
We partner with several community organizations, including Caribbean Equality Project, Jahajee Sisters, Ma Yogashakti International Mission, and more.
