2) Prahladananda Swami “A dark well or eternal lila?” - The laws of material nature are eternal; their effects are not changed by any new ideas. This course deals with modern society and ISKCON, examining the direction both can go in to make our lives happy and successful.

3) Kurma Das “Cooking with Kurma” - A hands-on tour of the world of Vedic vegetarian cuisine with Australia’s favorite cooking guru Kurma Das.

5) Kadamba Kanana Swami “Living with Vows”

6) Laxsmimoni Devi Dasi “The myth of western civilisation” - As we interface with modern society we are accused of avoiding reality, accepting the mythology of Vedic literature. We are asked to accept the “scientific truth” propounded in the West, the description of “progress and advancement of civilization” and finally we are encouraged to quest for “true happiness.” Which happiness, progress, and truth are real? Comparing what Western civilized culture calls the mythology of the Bhagavatam against the myths of Western culture.

7) Urmila “Finding Satisfaction in Educational Service: What teachers in Krishna’s schools can tell us about Culture, religion, and motivation” How do those in devotional, educational projects find satisfaction in their service? How do culture, religion, and spirituality influence motivation? How can we nourish and improve our schools? Participants in these workshops learn of the results and implications of a new, ground-breaking study of all teachers in Hare Krishna primary and secondary schools all over the world.

8) Braja Bihari: “Can’t We All Just Get Along?” What are the causes of conflict in ISKCON (and religious organizations in general)? What are the various ways to deal with conflict in a healthy way? Towards developing a justice system in ISKCON. What is the Vaisnava approach to helping people dealing with trauma? Making ISKCON a conflict friendly organization.

9) Atmananda Das “Atma yoga: decrease stress, develop confidence, and build Prabhupada’s community” Join Atmananda Das in reclaiming the rich cultural tradition of mystic yoga and dovetailing it to serve Srila Prabhupada’s mission. Come learn how Atma yoga is reversing this trend and developing stress free, confident preachers.

10) Education: “From the Cradle to the Pyre” - An analysis and discussion of ISKCON’s educational systems. In this seminar we will discuss the importance of developing a complete educational system within ISKCON in order to successfully fulfil Srila Prabhupada’s mission. We will reflect on the educational developments to date. Finally we will attempt to identify practical steps that can be taken in order to fulfil these needs.
