Early morning energy boost

Weekend classes diving deeper
A series of half and full day classes are held on weekends that dive deeper into specific topics and techniques. The classes
provide both theory and practice. In-person weekend classes normally also include the option of a healthy, vegan meal.
Philosophy classes
A 60 min class which begins with reading passages from Yogic books, then spending some time in silence meditating on the
topic, followed by an open discussion in the group on the meaning and personal interpretation of the text. The final part of
the class is writing down 3 ways that you will implement this in your daily life.
World service focus groups
A 30 min group session with meditation on a sankalpa (good intention) while sending healing to the world. Each session is
different, and we begin by making suggestions and agreeing
where the group want to send the healing in that session.
Examples could be to health care workers, teachers or to particular countries. When we meditate together and have a group
sankalpa (intention) with the foundation of love, the healing and energy is very powerful. Not only does it positively help
others, it helps to open our heart and give us real joy.

Testimonials
Starting from the first day of my spiritual journey until recently, I tried several different meditation styles with different teachers. When I met Saraswati Devi (Amanda) I thought that was what I had been searching for. Her kindness and energy gives me peace and love. She is like a close friend as well as a professional teacher. The energy of her meditations is so high and mantras we sing together take me to such a different dimension that sometimes I find it difficult to come back to this time-space reality. I consider myself very lucky to have the opportunity to join her sessions
Sibel
I attended Saraswati
Devi's (Amanda’s) mantra
class from the Fall 2017
until Spring 2018, when
she went to stay in India
for a few months. While
she was there, she
maintained e-mail contact
with her students to share
her experience there in her
Guru's ashram. When she
was living in Berlin and
set up a new weekly
guided meditation class, I
joined it and have been
attending it since.
Saraswati Devi is not only
an amazing meditation
teacher, she also is a
warm, kind and smart
person, dedicated to
helping others. Her
involvement with each of
her students is sincere and
profound. She
enthusiastically shares her
knowledge about
meditation and Hinduist
spirituality in a way that
makes them very clear,
tangible to us, helpful and
directly related to our
individual experiences. Her
guidance is gentle,
respectful and always
optimistic. The meditation
sessions are intense,
healing moments, their
effects triggering
deep-lasting changes.
I'm convinced she can help
more people through
meditation in other
settings. I can only wish
these people to be so
lucky as to have the
opportunity to experience
positive evolution in their
lives through her teaching
Emma
Amanda is always positive
and full of energy.
What I love about her
meditations is that they
are easy to follow yet still
very profound and precise.
Music and songs are also
part of her style and I find
singing mantras very
energising and powerful.
Every time I walk out of her
meditation I feel like I have
learnt something new and
during the days that follow
I can see how those
informations settle down
into my soul. As a
consequence my life and
relationships with others
improve. I improve.
I feel very lucky and
privileged to have her into
my life!

I just like it to listen to the words of Amanda. This guided meditation is like a journey in the deepness of my soul. On one journey I found this haiku, which is my present for her: ‘Thoughts flow like the little waves on the lake’. Thank you dear Saraswati
Andreas
Amanda is a wonderful person and I really enjoy her meditation classes. The energy in the meditations is very uplifting and I feel the positive changes in my being after the meditation. I also enjoy that she is drawing from her own life experiences when explaining spiritual concepts. She is a very open and joyful person. I recommend anyone to join her meditation classes!
Inana
Sarawati Devi's love, understanding and inner peace is so healing. She always finds the right words or hints what to do or what to focus on and sometimes it is even beyond all of that. Her energy is radiating on its own and transcends alot. She has my full trust and support for her goal to spread more JOY within society.
