About the event
- Heartfulness UK warmly invites you to join us for Simple & In Tune: Meditation. Music. And More. on Saturday, 17th May 2025 from 5:30PM – 8:00PM at Novotel London West.
- Join us for a special celebration of 80 years of Heartfulness, where you can experience a virtual masterclass on Heartfulness meditation from Daaji, with support from on-site certified Heartfulness trainers; watch a live presentation of the award-winning Brighter Minds programme; enjoy a captivating sarod performance by award-winning musician, Abhishek Borkar; and meet and connect with the vibrant Heartfulness UK meditation community.
- The world currently feels chaotic and complicated. We are watching it become overwhelmed by natural disasters, an ongoing mental health crisis, geopolitical strain and an overall sense of hopelessness. Not regulating the mind, or thought pollution, also affects the world around us, encouraging greed, envy, violence and environmental degradation.
- But spirituality can undo this damage and replace it with love, compassion and peace. When an individual embarks on a journey of transformation, a ripple effect creates a far-reaching wave of positive change, making our world a better, brighter, and more harmonious place.
- The Heartfulness way of Meditation encourages a lifestyle that is grounded in the qualities of the heart. Through its simple practices, only requiring one hour a day, Heartfulness allows us to be simple and in tune with the self, with others and with nature.
- Please arrive 30-45 minutes early to enjoy our welcome experience. Questions about the event can be directed to events@heartfulness.uk.
- We look forward to seeing you soon!
