Dalhousie Bhakti Yoga Club
The Dalhousie Bhakti Yoga Club (DBYC) serves as a vibrant, student-led sanctuary dedicated to exploring the transformative path of bhakti-yoga through devotion, mindful living, and community connection. By drawing on the timeless wisdom of Vedic literature, the club advances public education through open, non-sectarian workshops and lectures designed to be accessible to everyone regardless of their background. Beyond philosophy, the DBYC creates a safe and inquisitive space for individuals to engage in respectful dialogue regarding ethics, purpose, and the "bigger picture," all while promoting holistic well-being through practical sessions in meditation and mindfulness. By bridging ancient principles like "simple living and high thinking" with contemporary social responsibilities, the club fosters a culture of compassionate leadership and service, uniting like-minded individuals in a shared journey of personal growth, peer mentorship, and impactful community projects.

Global Public Health Brigades is an international movement of university students working to improve health conditions in the developing world.
A team of student volunteers depart on a week-long trip to work with a community in Honduras, Panama, Nicaragua or Ghana. Through an evidence-based model, we work alongside local community members to build projects that tangibly improve lives in these developing countries. Volunteers work with local masons and families to build eco-stoves, latrines, concrete floors, showers, and/or water storage units. Global Brigades also supports communities with healthcare, economic development and clean water projects and uniquely implements these programs in a holistic model to meet a community’s health and economic goals.
This year our trip is to Panama! happening from April 28th to May 5th after final exams. Every student is welcome to join! To learn more, please visit www.globalbrigades.org.
