Earlier this month, I attended a meditation seminar called “The Journey Within.” The evening began with a powerful opening by an Indigenous elder, who offered a prayer accompanied by the steady, grounding rhythm of his drum. I’ve always found that drum work moves me deeply—it connects me to something greater while simultaneously setting me free.
Then came Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. It has been over 20 years since he last visited Edmonton, and being in his presence was both enlightening and humbling. He spoke about the importance of collective action—asking us how we were going to make a difference in the world, and how each of us can contribute to creating positive change.
Throughout the event, a group led us through beautiful meditations using chants and drumming, creating an atmosphere that was both serene and invigorating.
It was truly a unique and transformative experience—one that left me feeling grateful, centered, and inspired. I’m already looking forward to the next opportunity to “journey within.”
