So not just any talk is conversation; not just any talk raises consciousness. Good conversation has an edge—it opens your eyes to something, quickens your ears. And good conversation reverberates. It keeps on talking in your mind later in the day. Your mind has been moved. That reverberation afterwards is the very raising of consciousness. A conversation turns things around.

The Invitation of the Andean World
Love gives you wings.
It turns you into an eagle.
It allows you to see from high above,
And at the same time it makes your body humble…
Think of freedom. Think of the infinite…
And also have humor—that laughter under the stars, that laughter by the sea.
Grasp the grandest emotions of life.
This is the sense of humor that ought to be man’s future religion.

How Remarkable Is This
A Weekend Intensive in Yoga for the Emotional Body
Led by Kenneth Robinson, M.S., M.T.S. and Linda Manning, Ph.D.
The heart is the center of the human microcosm…
the meeting place between the human and the celestial realms where the spirit resides,
the isthmus between this world and the next,
between the visible and invisible worlds,
between the human realm and the realm of the spirit,
between the horizontal and vertical dimensions of existence.
How remarkable is this reality of the heart, that mysterious center
which from the point of view of our earthly experience seems so small,
and yet, as the Prophet has said, it is the Throne of God the All-Merciful,
The Throne that encompasses the whole universe.
--Seyyed Hossein Nasr

August 13-15, 2010
When we practice hatha yoga regularly with awareness, inevitably there is a greater sense of flow and connection to our physical bodies. Our work is yoga for the emotional body. By supporting the flow of experience, Yoga for the Emotional Body helps us integrate our physical being both with our emotional lives and our spiritual principles. This effort, along with a generous helping of grace, allows us to live with mindfulness, passion, compassion, and style.
Friday 7pm—9:00pm
Saturday 9am—5pm
Sunday 9am—5pm
Please bring sitting cushion, light lunch, and wear clothes suitable for movement.
Cost for the weekend is $300 ($325 after August 1). To register, send $100
