What is Vedanta?

The term Vedanta comes from the Sanskrit words veda, “knowledge”, and anta, “end” or “culmination”, thus Vedanta means the culmination of knowledge. It is an ancient and universal philosophy that addresses life’s fundamental questions through logical, timeless truths. Vedanta guides both physical and spiritual well-being by combining thoughtful action with inner peace and teaches the art of relating wisely to the word, whether in relationships or work. It cultivates the intellect, helping individuals make clear, wise decisions which ultimately lead to self-realisation and lasting contentment.  Ultimately, Vedanta is a practical guide on how to live a happier and more harmonious life. 

A Higher Approach to Wellness

Throughout the series, guests will be invited to go beyond typical wellness offerings and explore the intellectual dimensions of wellbeing, engaging in powerful inner dialogue guided by a teacher who has spent decades teaching people to master the art of living. The series will include:
