Peace Walk - Labyrinth at Silo City
Peace in the world starts with peace in the individual. Join us for a contemplative morning peace walk in the River Hill labyrinth at Silo City. The winding path of the labyrinth, shaped by pollinator plants, is designed to clarify the mind and to shift perspective. The rhythmic pace of a silent walk will seed the practice of peaceful attention.

Satsang with Panditji
The second quarter of the 21st century rang the alarm bell. Some of us kept sleeping. Others woke up in a panic. The majority of us are living in a shared atmosphere of fear, worry, anger, betrayal, and uncertainty. Join us in this satsanga and together, let us be the force of change.
Yoga is for Every Body
The Himalayan Institute's mission statement invites all who seek their full potential to join us. With this inclusive outlook, we welcome everyone - regardless of race, religion, sexual or gender identity. We believe people's capacities grow when they seek to learn. They are more fulfilled when in service to the world. They thrive when living in a diverse community. Our students, teachers, and volunteers live, serve, and engage each other with mutual respect, as we grow and find our strength together.
Mission Driven, Community Supported
We operate by the spiritual and financial support of extraordinary individuals like yourself. Your financial contributions and consistent monthly support make our mission possible.
