“Being There” – Learning From Yoga

Friends Church Calgary Weekly Message

Speaker: Vince Klassen

We all have profound, maybe even transcendent, experiences—whether it’s the birth of a child, a moment of awe in nature, or a powerful physical sensation. Yet, when we try to share these moments, we often face blank stares and polite nods. It’s frustrating and disconnecting when others don’t feel the same intensity we did in that moment.

So, what is it about “being there” that makes an experience so impactful? Why does the magic fade when we try to recount it to others?

Yoga has explored the essence of “being there” for centuries, offering insights that help us understand why our profound experiences don’t always translate when shared. These teachings can also help us create more profound, transcendent moments in our own lives, no matter our spiritual path.

Join us this week to explore how the wisdom of yoga can help us cultivate these extraordinary experiences!
