A five-week journey of introspection with author Nayaswami Shivani Five Saturdays, January 9 – February 6, 2027 | Live online, in English "Introspection is a mirror in which to see portions of your mind which otherwise would remain hidden from you." — Paramhansa Yogananda Every day, life offers us lessons, guidance, and quiet invitations to grow. Most of the time, we're too busy to notice them. Know ThySelf offers a clear roadmap for turning ordinary life into a conscious journey of Self-discovery. Through simple, powerful introspection practices, you'll begin to see the divine guidance woven into your relationships, your work, your health, and even your hardest moments. As you explore who you are, why you are here, and how best to move forward, you'll find yourself living with greater authenticity, joy, and alignment with your highest potential. In this five-part Full Immersion series, author Nayaswami Shivani guides you personally through selected practices from her book. With warmth, inspiration, and encouragement, she'll help you look beyond the image in the mirror and discover your own unique Self.
