Dharma 365!
Live Your Higher Purpose
A Life-Changing Yearlong Online Course
with Yogacharya Ellen Grace O'Brian
Live Your Higher Purpose with Heart and Meaning. Every Day.
Dharma—to live with higher purpose—is one of the four Vedic goals of life which includes artha (to prosper), kama (to enjoy life), and moksha (to experience liberation of consciousness). Dharma is the foundation for all other life goals. With the key of dharmic living, the door to a truly meaningful and soul-satisfying life opens to us.
In this yearlong online course, you will:
We each have the innate capacity to discover our relationship with the Infinite and realize our full potential in this lifetime. Begin now; there is no better time.
Who would set sail without a compass? Discovering your dharma is discovering your north star—the sure guide to living with higher purpose every day.
There is a reason why we dream—we are made of possibility. Our essential Self is unbounded, infinitely creative, and resourceful. Your divine destiny awaits.
Living a dharmic life is living in harmony with spiritual and natural law. We learn how to live and how to give in ways that promote peace and well-being.
Capture the vision of your extraordinary life, then live it – thought by thought, word by word, action by action.
