About facilitators:

Veda Sar

Born under a bilba tree in the northeast Indian jungle, Vedaji grew up constantly asking questions trying to make sense of the world. In search of the answers to those questions, at the tender age of five he and his brother ran away from home, ultimately landing in a monastery where he lived through early adulthood. Given his inquisitive nature, at a young age he became known as the one everyone went to with their problems. He ultimately became the head of the monastery, remaining in that position for approximately 10 years. Eventually feeling a need to fulfill the greater purpose of his life, he moved to the United States approximately fifteen years ago to help raise consciousness in the western world.

Ultimately settling in Atlanta, Vedaji created the Mindful Seva Institute (MSI), a yoga-focused mental health organization that provides students the tools to set themselves free. Through MSI, he has empowered his students to create approximately ten Bhakti Yoga Clubs in various universities throughout the United States. Vedaji also created Food4Lives, a non-profit organization with thousands of volunteers and donors dedicated to providing food, shelter, and mental support services to the unhoused living in Connecticut, Georgia, New York, North Carolina, and Belgium.

After working for a government contractor designing nuclear submarines for the navy, she found herself searching for a deeper path.
