25.01.2022 Congratulations to our 2016/17 Gita Gold Diploma Graduate Teachers!

24.01.2022 See you at Pisces Full Moon Meditation tomorrow - remember there are no other classes, and doors will close at 7pm !

23.01.2022 Easter Retreat Update - In response to popular request and people's movements over Easter, our Retreat will now be held on one day - Good Friday - as an opportunity to take time out to focus and nurture yourself for the Easter period

23.01.2022 We are looking forward to gathering for our Easter Retreat this Friday!

22.01.2022 There are many "things" which remind us of the dynamic soul we know as Vicki Gus. At this time as we know she has moved beyond her physical body, we are recalling many of the beaut concepts that she enjoyed sharing with everyone. One that seems to sum her up, was this one which she delighted in when she first encountered it in the Gita Esoteric/Philosophy classes- It is the acronym S M I L E .yes... it is - "Send Messages of Love and Inspiration Everywhere" You can see how it makes you smile, and if there is one thing we will all remember about Vicki..it surely is her SMILE.so SMILE, In Love and Light Di ( Lucas )

20.01.2022 "I feel very worried about a lot of things...." How often do you hear someone say this ! And how easy it is to be drawn into the long, sometimes endless discussion stirring lots of emotion and not always resolving anything. just a handy suggestion - ACRONYMS are handy things ! Try F E A R .... It is powerfully reminding us that "False Expectations Appearing Real" can stir us without ever resolving stuff and certainly delaying us moving forward lightly. So... put the F E A R acronym in your "tool kit" and enjoy sorting out some of the challenges we and others can have. What is real cuts across the amorphous field of fears very effectively. Plan to have a clear and positive week. In Love and Light Di ( Lucas ) See more

19.01.2022 Isn't it fascinating how close humour is to intelligence ! When I was studying at night a few decades ago, the lecturer said, regarding statistics - "Beware of the man using statistics like the drunk uses the lamp post - more for support than illumination1" It has been a wise bit of guidance, and even more so now in a world where stats. are used obsessively....watch out for the lamp post ! With love, and I hope I may see you at the Full Moon Meditation on 24th Sept. Love and Light Di (Lucas )

19.01.2022 Happy New "1" Year - a new cycle begins! We are back from our summer break and enjoying Holiday program classes from today - call us for details or drop in for a class!

19.01.2022 Just a quick reminder that we are closed monday and tuesday because of the CUP weekend and all classes will resume Wednesday the 2nd of November 10am! we hope that you enjoy the Holiday!

18.01.2022 Thank you all for the many connections you have made ! They are appreciated very much ! One recent comment was about the need for "meaning". This made me think of Victor Frankl's famous quote :- "The greatest drive in life is meaning." So often we see people busy with "doing"and not knowing how to find or develop "Being" or meaning. This made me think of my Grandfather's great teaching for me. I was about ten years old and saw him working on his timber Lathe . I said ,... "What are you doing Pa ?" He said :- "Make an observation, and ask a better question." There in lies great wisdom. Meaning will flow when we have this focus. So keep busy, keep observing and posing deeper questions... and enjoy this search for meaning. With Love and Light Di ( Lucas )

18.01.2022 Hello it's Di...yes with time to connect with you...as we move forward into our new and exciting next phase for GITA. So let me know what you are up to, and I shall keep you posted .... watch out as there could be "Di-Versions" !

17.01.2022 Are you, or someone you know, ready to learn to meditate - or to take a refresher or add techniques to your 'toolkit'? Let us know now if you're interested in joining our Introduction to Meditation 7 week Course at Gita this term - it might be the best thing you could do for yourself right now!

17.01.2022 Gita wishes everyone a joyful and safe Easter, remembering that Easter is a time of renewal and an celebration of life!

15.01.2022 Here's another "Di-Version"...so glad they are being enjoyed ! It's rather like Gita Philosophy classes where we can apply the Ageless Wisdom to our own lives & share. So....when I was about 12 yrs. old my Mum's friend (her Bridesmaid actually) was dying. This is so long ago that her condition was labelled CARCINOMA. Cancer wasn't in our vocabulary. Despite the pain and the obvious diagnosis she had to handle,this woman was such a joyful soul always sharing and doing and bei...ng ! Whenever she could bring this wisdom into a conversation, or jot it onto a card, she would simply say..........."Come walk the path with me dear friend, the best is yet to be." How inspiring is this... and how similar is it to the verse you may have found in the Yogic Wisdom - "Look to this day, for it is Life,the very life of life...... For today well lived makes every yesterday a memory of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look to this day!" Interestingly it has turned up in a recent film. Did you see The Marigold Hotel? and can you recall the words - "It will all be alright in the end....and if it is not yet alright, it is not yet the end!" As yogis we give thanks that Truth can be expressed so simply and yet always be so powerful. In L& Lt Di (Lucas) See more

14.01.2022 Aries represents the rocket-launch energies initiating the new zodiac year cycle. It's a great time to focus through a group meditation, so we can use this powerful energy positively and clearly. Join us tomorrow at 8pm - don't be late!

12.01.2022 just a quick reminder to our teacher, the Teachers Guild and Communion is this Sunday the 2nd of OCTOBER at 5pm. Ready to start term 4 on Monday. All Gita Teachers are welcome.

11.01.2022 To our wonderful TTs - we've been watching your growth and development for a long time, now its coming to culmination - how exciting! This is where you will prove to yourself that you really can do it. Look forward to a wonderful day!!!

11.01.2022 Our 7 week Introduction to Meditation Course for this term is starting tomorrow, Thursday 4th May - let us know if you'd like to join us - it's not too late! Meditation is the key! http://www.gita.com.au/philosophy--meditation

11.01.2022 Recently a couple of conversations lead me back to the source of some of our words and they may be worth a "ponder on this" ! Apparently I said "that child needs more discipline" and the hearer thought I was a bit harsh! Actually "discipline" comes from the same origins as "disciple". It means "to follow the higher path". So discipline really intends us to show a child, or anybody actually, a better way forward, to offer a better reason for some behaviour. For example,instea...d of saying - "Don;t do that, you will get into trouble!" We can offer a pathway forward ,for example by saying,"Instead of just throwing that toy away because you feel you have finished with it, we could put it safely over here and later we can share it with another person who may enjoy playing with it." That's enough of a Di Version for today ! Let's follow the Higher path and see how enriching the day can be . L & Lt Di ( Lucas ) See more

10.01.2022 It has been another volatile week in Australian politics and in the world "news". This raises the issue of "using our brains" to express the anger, disappointment, frustration or whatever, without "losing it" and experiencing emotional exhaustion. Here's a Di Version _ The simple phrase to carry in your "back pocket' if it sits comfortably with you is this : - just say - Instead of being critical, I am making a critical assessment It works ! So enjoy the process ...! In Love and Light Di ( Lucas ) See more

10.01.2022 "Aim to bring the apparent opposition into harmonious balance" "It takes a certain dogged persistence to move steadily forward through life no matter what the obstacles"

08.01.2022 Energized, and ready to create a magical 2017!! - all classes for Term 1 commence this Monday 30th January. ( A reminder to teachers that Teachers' Communion is at 6pm on the following Sunday, 5th February )

07.01.2022 The Aquarian Full Moon is a time for changing our vibrations to Aquarian spiritual energies: - time for breaking down of barriers; thinking in broader terms - time for true creativity i.e. inclusive, not exclusive, whole, not parts... - time for true commonsense & practical application of the higher mind to everyday problems & situations - time to live fully in the present Join us for Full Moon Meditation at Gita @ 9AM, Saturday 11th Feb ----- Remember to be early - doors close at 9AM -----

07.01.2022 Congratulations to our TTs on successful completion of both written & prac exams - achieving such a consistently high standard - all were brilliant - the judges unanimously felt the best so far!!! Enjoy today - see you in class during the week!

07.01.2022 Join us in sending Love and Light to Gita Teachers in Training tomorrow as they show the world - and themselves - what they can do in their Prac Exam!!!

06.01.2022 Last nights Graduation Dinner was truly inspiring - and makes the potential of Gita World even more exciting!

05.01.2022 Visualising the postures in our Gita sequence together with Salute to the Sun has been the mainstay of my months of post surgery recovery. So o o you can imagine the joy when one's body proves the role of the visualisation process. Y E S I have been able to teach a full class with about 6o% action ! please feel inspired and know you can create the magic no matter what ! IN Love and Light Di ( Lucas )

04.01.2022 When the temperature is zero in Melbourne it cold ! It is !! Now..where ever you are in the world may the degrees be warmer and encourage the best outcome for the day ! This morning in my reflections I recalled the decades ago when I first put this Di Version of the 3 Rays on a mini business card and placed it on my kitchen shelf so it would catch my attention every day .... and at the start of those days ! The new On Line course exploring the Seven Rays is delighting lots of people and so I will say if you are recalling LIGHT, LOVE and POWER as those vital primary ones in the Seven, smile as you join me in the alternative saying...LAUGHTER, LIFE FORCE and LOVE ! They are really engaging and certainly help us through the cold temperatures and the odd politics ..so over to you ! Di

04.01.2022 Ready for Term 2! All Gita classes commence tomorrow - see you there

03.01.2022 It is under 2 months until our Winter Retreat at Maya Ubud Resort in Bali - and with this chilly Melbourne weather we are really looking forward to it! If you'd like to join us, check the dates & details, organize your flights and contact us to finalize your booking and accommodation - it's a busy time of year, so the time to seize the moment is now! http://www.gita.com.au/retreat/

03.01.2022 A smiling face said to me this week..."I love your Di Versions, but I just haven't had time to get to last weeks yet !" Well that says it all. In my opinion the most useful word in the world is YET. Yet allows us to come back to something when we have time, or when we are ready to process, or when we feel strong enough to handle the information, or as the mood swings and we can be the learner again, or as we feel able to approach a challenge more confidently. In teaching B...eginners Gita Yoga it has always been my most important word. As new students will say "Oh I can't do that !!" I would add YET ! You can play out the possibilities e.g. I am not ready to try that (YET) I don't think I agree with that (YET) MY body isn't up to that sort of physical work (YET) It gives space for courage and time for experience and it always keeps the door open. So....add YET to your list and enjoy relaxing In L & Lt DI See more

01.01.2022 We had a wonderful time at the Teaching Meditation to Children Workshop with Di on Sunday - such a big crowd, and great energy, even though some people were participating by distance...
