Cultivating Joy & Peace of Mind
​/
​with 

Meera Riitta Ojala
Music by Lorien Brownlea
​/



Exploring and helping others in integrating body, mind and spirit has been a lifelong passion for Meera Riitta Ojala. In this presentation she will share practices that she has found helpful for herself and for her clients in cultivating joy and peace of mind.
 
Meera grew up in Finland, and nature has always been inspiring and healing support for her. Walking in the woods was her favorite activity in addition to dancing and yoga. 

Meera has survived two cancers and shared writings from this difficult time, as well as the joy and gratitude of being alive, in her book “The Little Book of Hope."

In 2003 she met her spiritual teacher Mata Amritanandamayi Devi (Amma), an Indian humanitarian and spiritual teacher who says that her religion is love. Meera also studied with Anna Halprin, creator of The Life Art Process.

Meera is an integrative psychotherapist, with a masters degree in Somatic Psychology from the Naropa University. After graduating she worked in various clinical therapeutic settings using movement, art, yoga, adventure therapy and meditation as ways to bring healing. 

Meera offers her unconditional loving presence with her professional experience and skills to support her clients’ healing journeys on emotional, mental, physical and spiritual levels.
