Satsang is a Sanskrit term derived from two roots: sat meaning "true"and sangha meaning “community”. It can be translated as "associating with good people" or simply "being in the company of truth" and refers to the act of gathering with like-minded, uplifting people, especially those interested in yoga, meditation or on a spiritual journey.
Every few months Sow & Root host a free two-hour inclusive, community inspired satsang. Each one with a different focus, topic or theme. Including exploring practice styles and books, listening to lectures, sharing insightful podcasts, or watching interesting films and documentaries - before reflecting on their meaning and assimilating them into daily life.
This shared space provides the opportunity for self-inquiry and inner growth, to practice together, discuss, learn, question, spark insight, regain focus and recharge ourselves in a supportive environment: to connect.
Join Aidan at our next satsang for a philosophy chat and chai evening.
What is yoga philosophy and what does it have to do with me?
A discussion of ideas such as:
What is the relationship between body and mind?
Can the mind be quiet?
Does yoga offer a way to turn away from the world or to actively engage with it?
What do we mean by 'the self'?
What is consciousness?
What is the cause of human suffering?
Through the lens of the ancient wisdom of yoga - and how these ideas are relevant to us in 2026.
This will be an informal evening starting with a short presentation of some of the philosophical ideas of yoga - trying to make the concepts approachable and practical. After the presentation we will have an open discussion around the topics listed above and/or other subjects that are of interest to those attending. It is a chance to discuss and play around with some big ideas in an interactive, informal and fun way.
This evening is for anyone curious about what part yoga can play in our lives beyond just the physical benefits. No prior knowledge necessary!
