The 4 Desires of Life Workshop
According to ancient Yogic tradition, your soul has four distinct desires:
Dharma: The desire for purpose, the drive to become who you are meant to be.
Artha: The desire for the means (money, security, health) to prosper in this world.
Kama: The desire for pleasures like intimacy, beauty and love.
Moksha: The desire for spiritual fulfillment and lasting freedom .
Learning to embrace these four desires is the key to happiness, and to a complete and balanced life. But how can you discern what will truly satisfy your desires? How can you increase your capacity to achieve them? What if your desires seem to conflict with one another? Is it possible to live a spiritual life while also wanting material pleasures and success?
The ancient sages of this tradition believed that it is a healthy desire to live a life of abundance on both the spiritual and physical planes. After all, It’s a lot easier to find time and peace of mind to do your spiritual practice when you’re not struggling to survive. Therefore, identifying your subconscious blocks to fulfilling all four desires is essential.
Using ancient and modern techniques, this workshop will guide you to:
discover your soul's unique purpose – the one you came into this world to fulfill.
identify the goals you need to focus on and increase your capacity to reach them.
overcome self-defeating ideas and behaviors.
increase your power of will and determination to move past any obstacle.
learn to live with joy at every stage of your growth.
