As Sadhguru continued his special USA tour, his next stop was Sarasota, Florida. Sarasota has been referred to as Florida’s “Cultural Coast” because of its many theaters, art galleries, museums and other venues of culture found in the city. On the street named North Tamiami Trail you will find the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall. The building boasts 1,736 seats, and its 1968-69 construction was partly funded by a bequest from local residents Lewis and Eugenia van Wezel. The Hall has been host to Broadway’s hottest musicals, amazing one-off concerts and a variety of special events, such as Sadhguru’s Meet-and-Mingle, held on September 25, 2016.
It was a beautiful sunny afternoon with a vibrant blue sky that seemed to welcome people as they entered the Van Wezel Performing Art Hall. This event gave attendees an opportunity to meet with Sadhguru, listen to his words of wisdom concerning how to live a joyful life and to partake of a simple mediation guided by Sadhguru. The participants showed expressions of joy, laughter and hope as Sadhguru spoke about the possibility which exists in every human being. In addition, the audience was able to ask questions and purchase Sadhguru’s new book “Inner Engineering: A Yogi’s Guide to Joy,”. Many people even were lucky enough to get their copy of the book signed by Sadhguru. In his book, Sadhguru’s presents readers with a path to achieving absolute well-being through the classical science of yoga, as well as offerings of simple practices that can be done by anyone.
Experiences and Expressions:
“It was an awesome experience to listen to Sadhguru. I’m so glad that I was here. I’ve learned a lot. I’ve seen his videos on-line, but being in his presence was an accelerating experience. Thank you, Sadhguru, very much.”
“Yes! It a wonderful experience to be in his presence, in such close proximity! And what I heard, I will try to go forward and experience things that way in my life… and continue to follow what he was trying to teach everyone today… so, we will see. I hope so!”
“It was his presence… his presence, definitely… being in his presence was transforming! His presence during the meditation we did… it shakes you, it wakes you up, but at the same time is very, very calming. I will never forget this day, or how it made me feel.”
“My experience with Sadhguru’s talk was… full of joy. I’m not sure that I can express it in words, my feelings about today. It has given me what I needed to move my life in positive directions. This was a great reminder that life is not about looking back, or worrying about some future event, but rather to be right now, and what I can do to make my inner dimension joyful. I can live my life from a space of joy. Sadhguru delivered his message so powerfully, and yet so joyfully. Thank you, Sadhguru, so much, for all that you do for us!”
