Guest Speaker: Sasha Ivanovich (Karma Palden Dorje) – Meditation Master and founder of Earth Warriors
Sasha will be talking about the challenge of ‘our current and unique Planetary Moment’
Sasha was born Croatia and lives in Sydney. He has taught mediation and conducted mediation retreats over 40 years and is a lifetime student of eastern and western philosophies and pathways to healing and insight through meditation and self-realisation. His connections to Indian spirituality run deep, being invited by HH Swami Satyananda to participate in and teach in Swami’s Australian tour yoga teaching events, and received various Mahayana Buddhist initiations including the Kalachakra Initiation conducted by HH Dalai Lama in NY in 1991.
As a practicing award winning architect, Sasha has been campaigning for action on Climate Change since 2011. He was active in the first Sydney based Moratorium against the Vietnam War, and was an organizer for Action for Peace against the first and second Iraq Wars. He continues campaigning against war and against the war in the Middle East and Ukraine.
“War is a failure, a response to conflict bereft of high mind thinking”
He established the Eye of the Sun Meditation Centre situated on the Hawkesbury River NSW Australia in 1973, then the ‘not for profit personal development Earth Centre’, Anduril, operating in Western Australia. He was made West Australian convener for the Scotland based Findhorn Foundation, Board Chair of the Sophia College for Alternative Counselling, teaching Buddhist philosophy.
