A five-week journey of introspection with author Nayaswami Shivani
Five Saturdays, January 9 – February 6, 2027 | Live online, in English

"Introspection is a mirror in which to see portions of your mind which otherwise would remain hidden from you."
— Paramhansa Yogananda

Every day, life offers us lessons, guidance, and quiet invitations to grow. Most of the time, we're too busy to notice them.

Know ThySelf offers a clear roadmap for turning ordinary life into a conscious journey of Self-discovery. Through simple, powerful introspection practices, you'll begin to see the divine guidance woven into your relationships, your work, your health, and even your hardest moments. As you explore who you are, why you are here, and how best to move forward, you'll find yourself living with greater authenticity, joy, and alignment with your highest potential.

In this five-part Full Immersion series, author Nayaswami Shivani guides you personally through selected practices from her book. With warmth, inspiration, and encouragement, she'll help you look beyond the image in the mirror and discover your own unique Self.

  • Five live 90-minute sessions, each exploring one Part of the book
  • A special guest speaker each week, joining Nayaswami Shivani to share their own insights and experience

The Five Sessions

Session 1 | Saturday, January 9
Introduction to Introspection and Your Daily Journal
Special guest: Asha Nayaswami
The practice of introspection, or self-awareness, is mightily opposed by the ego, the little self, and heartily desired by the soul, the higher Self. In this opening session, we ease into the practice by observing and recording the meaningful events, situations, and people who come into our lives each day.

Session 2 | Saturday, January 16
The Relationships Challenge
Special guest: Nayaswami Devi
Discover the main players on the stage of your life, as well as those in the background, and the ways they enrich, support, inspire, and often challenge you.

Session 3 | Saturday, January 23
Your Work and Your Dharma
Special guest: Nayaswami Jyotish
To what extent do the ways you spend your time and energy reflect your talents, your values, and your goals in life?

Session 4 | Saturday, January 30
Health Checkup
Special guest: Nayaswami Aditya
Explore the four dimensions of your wellbeing (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual), discovering where balance already exists and where greater harmony can be cultivated.

Session 5 | Saturday, February 6
Crises and Crossroads
Special guest: Arudra
Look for the blessings hidden within those unexpected moments when life overturns our carefully laid plans.

About the Author

Shivani Lucki

Shivani Lucki left her legal studies and a promising career in Washington, D.C. when she realized her quest for truth and justice would not be fulfilled in the classroom or courtroom. Her gypsy journey across the United States eventually led to California where she began a serious practice of yoga and meditation with Swami Kriyananda, who introduced her to the idea of intentional communities through his book, Cooperative Communities - How to Start Them and Why.With a small backpack, a sleeping bag, and a heart full of hope, she arrived on June 22, 1969, at the fledgling Ananda community. She was twenty-four years old. Recognition was instantaneous: This was the way of life she had long been seeking. She resolved to dedicate her life to Yogananda's ideal of "World Brotherhood Colonies," for "plain living and high thinking." Her special passion has always been the self-healing techniques of Yogananda, taking as her unique mission to find and share these mostly out of print or never published teachings. One day she hoped to found an institute for healing based on Yogananda's methods. Shivani has earned a worldwide reputation as one of the foremost teachers of meditation, specifically Kriya Yoga, an ancient method Yogananda reintroduced to the world in modern times. She helped establish two Ananda communities-one in California, and one near Assisi, Italy-and the Yogananda Academy of Europe. Fulfilling her dream, she founded the Life Therapy School for Self-Healing. Since 1985 she and her husband have lived in the Ananda Assisi community.
