With great enthusiasm, Agama is pleased to announce that Swami Vivekananda will return to North America this year! Events are subject to change. Please refer to this site for fees, details, and other updates - they will be posted as soon as they become available.

Full event descriptions are available; contact us at tours@agamayoga.com for further details, to help promote events or offer assistance, or for anything else!

Swami preceded this year's tour with a week's stop in Bristol, England, 21-26 August, where he gave a series of lectures followed by a weekend Tantra 1 Workshop. Mihaiela also made an appearance in Bristol, with a one-day Complete Femininity seminar on Friday, 24 August. The events were a great success with students attending from three countries! See James' event journal of Swami's first teaching events in the UK for the day-by-day scoop....

After a few days' break to celebrate his birthday (28 August), Swami will be off for the other side of the Atlantic! We hope to see you in the upcoming months, and tell your North American friends about Swami's events.
