NOW

A River of Soul Series

Atula and David Findlay with Sahajamani

A series of six weekend workshops for 2026 exploring the theme of  'NOW'  through myth and fairy tale

Held in Bethnal green, East London

We think of the spiritual path as if it were a straight line

when we all know it’s difficult and circular,

the problem is one of scale, the spiral of progression is so vast

it looks straight from the tiny part we are on,

that’s why we have to be born and born again to complete it.

You may walk a million steps in your lifetime,

but from the perspective of your soul

a whole lifetime is just one of them.

At this point in history we are living in a time of change which is evoking a great deal of uncertainty, fear and anxiety both within and around us. On the other hand now, or living in the moment, can also open us to an experience of the only certainty there is, the timelessness of the soul, a deep connection with our spiritual selves. Now is the moment that connects the reality of life with the reality of Soul but each of us has to develop way to constantly unravel our own journey, the parts of our history that repeat and encourage us to think in personal ways about what is going on in the world, in order that we facilitate and re-facilitate this connection.

It is the life of the soul and the life of human history that the River of Soul series seeks to make a link between and it is through the present moment, the here and now, that this becomes possible. In order to facilitate this we work with poetry, myth, stories, imagination and group interaction in an experiential way. Again and again this helps us to see our lives and current events in a much larger context, a meaningful context and with this comes peace, healing, fellowship, love, purpose and the possibility of a more peaceful future for all humanity, which starts and is maintained from within each one of us.

For 2026 these are the themes we will be exploring and working with for the 13^th annual  River of Soul series, we are delighted to welcome you to join us

'‘The River of Soul course has allowed me to get closer to my actual life - to trust the process of feeling the pain of the past in an embodied way. Painful as it has been to come out of the stories of the past, I have learnt to trust this embodied connection, allow it into my life and appreciate the inherent relationship it has to peace and the common humanity we all share"     Recent course participant
