🕕 6:00 PM – 6:45 PM
📍 Mount Seymour United – 1200 Parkgate Avenue, North Vancouver
Admission: By Donation
As the year draws to a close, give yourself the gift of stillness.
Join Farhad Khan for a deeply restorative 45-minute experience combining Yoga Nidra and gentle sound healing, inviting you to slow down, release tension, and reconnect with a sense of inner peace.
Often referred to as yogic sleep, Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation practised lying down or seated comfortably. Through gentle awareness, breath, and guided relaxation, you'll be invited into a peaceful state between wakefulness and sleep.
Soft, soothing sounds and gentle vibrations will complement the practice, creating a nurturing atmosphere that encourages deeper relaxation and stillness.
No movement or previous meditation experience is required. Simply arrive, get comfortable, and allow yourself to be guided.
Encourages deep physical and mental relaxation
Helps ease stress and quiet an overactive mind
May support more restful sleep and emotional balance
Promotes mindfulness, clarity, and inner awareness
Uses soothing sounds to enhance relaxation and a sense of well-being
Each December, Mount Seymour United supports local organizations through its Advent Giving Tree, including First United Church in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside and the North Shore Youth Safe House, operated by Hollyburn Family Services.
In addition to your donation to attend, you are warmly invited to bring new, unused items such as toiletries, socks, pajamas, and underwear to place beneath the Giving Tree in the lobby outside the sanctuary. These gifts will be distributed to people in need within our community.
A portion of the evening’s monetary donations will also support this seasonal initiative, including the purchase of gift cards that allow youth to enjoy simple outings and experiences with friends during the holiday season.
Thank you for helping make this evening not only an opportunity to rest, reconnect, and receive, but also a meaningful way to give back to our community.
To make your experience as comfortable as possible, we recommend bringing:
Yoga mat (if you prefer to lie down)
Pillow or bolster for support
Blanket or warm layers for comfort
Eye pillow (optional)
Water bottle
Any other props that provide additional support and comfort
This event takes place in the spacious main sanctuary of Mount Seymour United, where you are welcome to lie down in the designated floor area or remain comfortably seated in the provided chairs.
Everyone is welcome, regardless of age, experience, or physical ability. No previous yoga or meditation experience is necessary, and there is no movement required. Simply choose the position that feels most comfortable and supportive for you.
Parking
Ample free parking is available in front of the venue.
Doors Open: 5:45 PM
Yoga Nidra + Gentle Sound Healing: 6:00 PM – 6:45 PM
Following Yoga Nidra, Farhad will offer a separate Sound Bath Meditation by Donation from 7:00 PM – 8:15 PM.
You are warmly invited to join us for one or both experiences, allowing yourself an evening of deep rest, reflection, and connection.
Please register separately for each experience you wish to attend.
