Walking with Patanjali: Explore the Yoga Sutras in a New Way with Rev. Jaganath Carrera
Sundays, March 15, June 21, September 20 & December 20
9:30am-10:30am Virtual
The Whisper of Sutras invites practitioners into a quieter, more intimate relationship with the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali—not as philosophy to master, but as wisdom to be listened to and lived.
​
Taught by Reverend Jaganath Carrera, this journey explores the subtle, often-overlooked sutras that gently rekindle enthusiasm, restore joy, and deepen practice from the inside out.
​
Rather than shouting their truths, these sutras whisper—beckoning us to slow down, listen more deeply, and rediscover yoga as a living companion on the path.
​
You are warmly invited to walk this journey with us.
Drop Your Burdens: Meditation and the Unfolding of Hope, Faith, and Meaning
with Rev. Jaganath Carrera
Tuesday, March 24 | 7:00pm-8:30pm Virtual
In this rare program, Rev. Jaganath offers a step-by-step guided meditation designed to help release the mental burdens that interfere with peace and happiness.
​
Many people today feel less satisfied with life — even experienced meditators may struggle to experience the results they hope for. Often, it is not lack of effort, but the inability to set aside daily concerns that blocks deeper progress.
​
This guided journey explores subtle states of mind that disrupt meaning, joy, and inner clarity. Originally formulated twenty years ago, this meditation has helped many seekers rediscover peace, optimism, and a renewed sense of purpose.

YLS Book Club: Mattering (Part 1)- Finding Meaning, Purpose, and Belonging Beyond Achievement
Tuesday, April 7 | 7:00–8:00 PM | Virtual
Join us for a two-part discussion of Mattering: How to Help Your Kids Find Meaning, Purpose, and Belonging in a World Obsessed with Achievement by Jennifer Wallace.
​
Together, we’ll explore why feeling valued — truly mattering — is essential to resilience and well-being. Through a yogic lens, we’ll reflect on how attachment to performance can obscure our inherent worth, and how principles such as dharma (purpose), ahimsa (non-harming), vairagya (non-attachment), and seva (service) support deeper belonging.
​
Session One (April 7): What Does It Mean to Matter?
Exploring the difference between achievement and mattering — and how remembering our intrinsic value builds steadiness and resilience.
​
Session Two (April 14): Cultivating Belonging and Purpose
Practical ways to foster environments — at home, work, and in community — where people feel valued for who they are.
​
Open to parents, educators, leaders, and all who seek to build cultures of compassion and meaning.
Come to one or both sessions.
