ALTON - River Bend Yoga will host two upcoming workshops titled “Animals are Carriers of Divine Love.”. From 1–2 p.m. on Oct. 3 and Nov. 7, 2024, community members are invited to River Bend Yoga to learn more about how animals have souls and demonstrate unconditional love. Flora and Sheila will encourage attendees to share their experiences with animals, and they will talk about how these relationships are viewed in Eckankar, a new religious movement that promotes connection between souls.
