Enlightened spiritual master Guru Acharya Vinay Vinekar, founder of the Institute of Universal Consciousness, in Bangalore, India, will bring his two-part Power Within program to Milwaukee for the first time. The basic session takes place from August 15 to 18 at The Atrium, in Greendale, and the advanced class runs from September 5 to 8 at A Spirited Place, in Dousman.

Vinekar’s program includes illuminating lectures, breathing exercises, yoga and meditation sessions and natural, life-giving food to nourish the mind and body. He teaches simple techniques to help participants become free from limiting beliefs, reach deep levels of emotional release and to enhance the body’s healing ability. When old baggage, habits and illnesses fall away, individuals are better able to connect with their deepest desires and set their spirit free.

“People come to these classes for many different reasons: some overcome addictions, others heal their bodies of disease, and still others find peace, joy and strength within,” says event host Rachel Warnock. “These classes provide a permanent personal anchor at a time when the world is undergoing great changes.”

Cost: Basic, $315; advanced, $335. Discounted rates are available. To register, visit Meetup.com/TheAtrium. For more information, call 262-337-2363 or email [email protected].
