The Way of Archery 
 

​

Dec 3 - 9, 2023         June 23 - 29 2024

 

July 28 - Aug 3 2024

​

Workshop Duration:  6 Days

In this course you will learn archery technique, safety and how archery can become a mindful experience. Begin your journey by learning how to safely shoot a bow and arrow, care for the tools used in archery, and the biomechanics behind the shooting technique.  While you learn the biomechanics of the archery shot cycle, take an inward journey as you explore self awareness in body, mind and spirit.  Discover how the lessons on the range can help us grow as individuals. 

 

During this course explore how self ignorance is the universal enemy, and how self awareness can help us grasp our true nature. The bow and arrow will become a tool representing self awareness and self awareness will in turn help restore balance in today's hectic lifestyles. Establish yourself in being, then take action.  If you are interested in becoming more patient, present, focused and compassionate with yourself and others join us for this 6 day exploration.  

 

As part of the journey we will explore Yoga Asana’s and Yogic Philosophy to help make connections between the lessons we learn in the archery workshops and apply them to daily living.  Self reflection through journaling prompts and contemplation time will allow each individual the opportunity to digest the insights revealed.  

 

We provide a safe environment for everyone to open their hearts and search for their true self. After all, we are more than labels, thoughts, words and actions.

What exactly is it?

 

The Spiritual Warrior is a course in which the many parallels between Archery and Yoga are explored and experienced through asana practice, archery workshops, and class discussions.  

​

What is the intention?

At Pura Veda we have been exploring these practices for years and we know that we will continue to learn from our personal experience and study.  We are happy to provide the space and the curriculum for people to embark on their own journey.  

Becoming a Spiritual Warrior entails becoming aware of who we truly are, keeping a sense of physical, mental and spiritual balance, and continuously bringing to awareness the subtle impacts that come with the creation of our thoughts, words, actions, and habits.  

 

Why take the course?

Take time to explore, contemplate, and reflect during silent hours

Begin to clear physical energy channels through asana practice

Help improve focus, self awareness, self control, and self esteem

Learn to trust your intuition

Learn to shoot a bow safely

Experience archery through a yoga lens
