The Inner Warrior

The Inner Warrior

Everyone has an Inner Warrior inside them, but... sometimes this Warrior is asleep. We can become so absorbed in going through the motions that we lose touch with anything worth fighting FOR. Life then becomes dull and we become stagnant (of course we can be doing many things during such routine, but we know deep inside that we are going nowhere like this).

This session, we will see what it takes to make the inner warrior stand up and fight! We will do that by immersing ourselves in the ancient Indian myth of Arjuna the warrior and ancient Hindu teachings. We’ll also see how precious teachings sometimes hide within stories and become a vital tool for life.

You’ll learn to:
✨ Learn how to take the varied challenges of life and reduce them to a simple, workable scenario.
✨ Discover how your Inner Warrior functions, and how it can help you become the captain of your own ship.

This one-night experience is both complete in itself and the doorway into our 6-week immersive workshop that follows.
If this evening feels like a breath of fresh air — if something in you stirs with recognition — the workshop continues the journey, step by step, from understanding to daily practice.
Each week deepens a different layer: self-knowledge, living together, and building a future guided by meaning.

Join us for this free evening — bring your questions, your curiosity, and your longing to feel free again.
Sometimes the most life-changing journeys start with a single conversation.

What To Expect

The session is engaging and interactive — a blend of inspiring ideas, real-life examples, and open dialogue.
You’ll meet others from LA / Pasadena who are also exploring how to live more freely and intentionally.

• Format: short talk + guided reflection + small group conversation
• Atmosphere: warm, curious, welcoming — no pressure, no prior study needed
• Duration: 1.5 hours that fly by (doors open 6:45 PM)

If the ideas resonate, you’ll also hear how to continue the journey in our upcoming 6-week “Freedom Starts Within” workshop — an experiential course that helps you live what we explore in this talk.
