Reverence: Ancient Practices in Modern Spirituality at Manifest House

Yoga. Breathwork. Meditation. Karma. Chakras. Are you familiar with these concepts, or use them in your daily life or business? If you do, meet us at Manifest House for Reverance: Ancient Practices in Modern Spirituality with Ruhina Mehra where we will learn to recognize, honor, and give acknowledgement to the indigineous South Asian roots for practices and concepts like these and many others.

In this 60-min donation-based workshop, we will work on deepening Cultural Competency of these practices & concepts, and Decolonizing and Demystifying them from a Western lens. You will understand how to continue incorporating your sacred practices as a part of your daily lifestyle while also paying deference to the South Asian cultures, people, and land that they are rooted in. Ultimately, you will come away with increased awareness of the history of these practices, their original intended use, and actionable steps to move the needle towards a more inclusive and diverse space. Join us to create a well-rounded space where all cultures and people feel welcomed into Western Wellness and Spirituality!

This community class is donation-based (pay what you can). Free spots are available and everyone is welcome, regardless of their ability to donate. All proceeds from this event go towards our facilitator and the Manifest House scholarship fund, which provides fully-funded memberships to those in our community needing support.

What You'll Need:

• A quiet place to tune in with minimal distractions
• Headphones recommended
• Your favorite journal & pen to take notes
• Water or tea
• Any other items that bring you comfort and help you create your sacred space (a cozy blanket, crystals, candles, incense, etc)

About Your Guide:

I am a South Asian American (born in India, raised primarily in the US), who grew up with my Indian heritage and Hindu practices as a central part of my daily life. Growing up, I was heavily exposed to aspects of Meditation, Yoga, Ayurveda, and many more commonly known Wellness and Spiritual practices by virtue of my culture. My mission is to enhance diversity and inclusivity in these industries by reconnecting many of these commonly known practices in the West back to their South Asian origins, and to deepen the already existing knowledge in the Wellness and Spiritual spaces.

Meet you at the House ✨
