Week 1:  The Nature of your Authentic Self – Discover the freedom of your true Self

• The concept: The "self" people identify with is largely a product of society's conditioning, our different roles in life, and the expectations of our culture.  True self-discovery involves peeling away these layers to uncover the essence of your being, which is described as pure consciousness or "no-self" – a state beyond your ego.  We constantly wear different layers of identity, or masks, and are unaware of our essential Self.
• Technique: Through Vedic asana practices, Kundalini kriyas, yoga nidra and Vedic Dhyan meditation, you learn to be present and observe thoughts and feelings without judgment.  Our “Active Meditation” practice – a combination of breathwork, movement, and sound – releases deep-rooted emotions and energy blockages to quieten the mind and create deeper awareness.

Week 2:  Key Steps in the Journey – Awaken your awareness

1. Awareness and meditation

• The concept: Meditation is the basis of self-discovery. 
• Technique: Continued expansion of the practices learned in Week 1 with additional focus on the art of meditation.

2. Acceptance of inner contradictions

• The concept: Learn to accept both “positive” and "negative" aspects, such as anger or sadness, as they are part of your whole being.
• Technique: The awareness created through the practices in Weeks 1 & 2 helps you acknowledge your current reality, allowing you to identify and let go of what is no longer helpful. 

3. Letting go of ego

• The concept: The ego is a false Self that is created through society’s expectations and personal desires.
• Technique: Through the art of meditation and mindful living (as discussed in the lectures), learn to dissolve the ego by understanding the power of giving and sharing.  The experience of this leads to a state of freedom, joy, and oneness with existence.

4. Experiencing life fully

• The concept: Value every moment in life, as each one holds a lesson or insight into your true Self.
• Technique: The practices developed over the weeks teach you how to be present in each activity so that you can take this awareness into everyday life experiences.

Week 3:  Challenges on the Path – Self-discovery begins with courage

• The concept: Self-discovery can be painful, as it involves confronting inner fears, past traumas, and society’s conditioning.  It requires letting your old Self “die”.
• Technique:  Observe and become the witness of what is happening within during your meditation practices, and cultivate your courage to overcome the conditions of the mind.

Week 4:  The Role of Silence – The truth only unfolds in the stillness of silence

• The concept: The Truth only unfolds in silence, so it is integral to self-discovery.  With a quiet mind, one can intuitively hear the deeper truths from within.
• Technique: Use the methods of sound and breath practised throughout the program to redirect your awareness to the present moment and cultivate inner silence.  Yoga nidra is an excellent opportunity for you to experience your stillness.

Week 5:  Self-Discovery as a Path to Freedom – Transcend your limitations

• The concept: Achieve liberation from society’s norms, religious dogmas, and self-imposed boundaries while aligning with the fundamental laws of nature.  Self-discovery attunes you to these laws, leading to spontaneous right action.
• Technique: By observing and embracing every aspect of life, both around you and within you.  Experience your connection with nature with a Conscious walk.

Week 6:  Beyond Self (The “No-Self”) – Discover the ultimate freedom of pure being.

• The concept: In the final stages of self-discovery, you move beyond the concept of the "self" altogether.
• The state of “being”: This is a state of "no-mind"," not a void but a state of pure being – free, expansive, and connected to the Source of life through a glimpse of your silent space within.  There is no technique for this as it is the consequence of the above steps of Self-Discovery.  It comes from gradual experience according to how much you realise the need for it.
